Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other term 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 send an email or contact message, the message and return address may be kept long enough to review the question and respond. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Site Data
Standard technical data may be collected when pages load. This information helps keep the site working and helps show which pages need maintenance.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and support features, analytics, or ads. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may work differently after they are blocked.
How Data Is Used
- To keep pages available, stable, and fast.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.

Outside Website Links
This site links to sheriff pages, jail and corrections resources, Alabama court portals, ADOC tools, BOP and ICE locators, VINELink, and third-party search providers. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the outside website controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize visits across different websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is handled on their platforms, not through records hosted here.

- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be made fully secure, so this notice does not promise that data can never be accessed, lost, or misused.
