Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we keep the message long enough to review and respond. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information when pages load.
- Your IP address.

- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support analytics or advertising functions. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may work differently afterward.
How Information Is Used

- To display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Links Beyond This Site
This site links to sheriff pages, jail roster resources, Alabama corrections tools, court portals, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the outside website controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and serve interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under their policies, not this notice.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be handled by the following parties when needed for site operation or legal compliance.
- Search providers that process search queries.
- Analytics vendors that measure site performance.
- Advertising networks used to display ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use ordinary security measures appropriate for a public information website. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so the material can be reviewed for deletion.
Your Data Choices

- Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
- Ask us to delete information when deletion is legally and technically available.
- Opt out of certain processing where a right to opt out applies.
