Information You Choose to Send
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside company that provides that tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms. The provider's privacy rules apply to the query and any later activity on its service.
If you send an email or contact message, we may retain the message and contact details long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. That information is not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Automatic Technical Details
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may receive technical data when a page loads. That data can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring page, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies and similar storage help measure how pages are used and support site functions. Browser controls can reject or erase cookies, although some functions or partner features may then work differently.
Purposes for Data Use
Collected data is used only for operating, understanding, and protecting the service. Typical uses include:
- keeping pages available and responsive;
- sending a search request to the selected partner;
- measuring which material readers find useful;
- diagnosing errors, abuse, and technical faults; and
- delivering advertising that may reflect general interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to sheriff rosters, police and jail pages, booking feeds, Alabama court or corrections portals, federal locators, news publishers, and private search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy notice and terms govern its collection and use of data.
Advertising companies may use their own cookies or identifiers to recognize activity across services and select ads. That processing occurs through their systems, not through an official Colbert County records office.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may still pass to:
- search providers that process a submitted query;
- analytics vendors that measure traffic;
- advertising networks that deliver or assess ads; and
- law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information under our control. No internet connection, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure, so this notice cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly request personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor sent personal information may use the Get in Touch page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a person may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal data held about them;
- correct inaccurate personal information;
- delete information that no longer must be retained; or
- opt out of certain processing where that right applies.
These choices concern data controlled by this site. A separate request must go to any sheriff, court, publisher, search provider, analytics vendor, or advertising network that independently controls its own records.
Changes to This Notice
Privacy practices and services may change. A revised notice takes effect when posted here, together with any new effective date shown on the page.
