Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It stays within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
Page requests can automatically provide basic technical and usage details:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device to help measure page traffic and how visitors move through the site. Analytics providers combine that usage into reports. A browser can block cookies, although some functions may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not host, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The content identifies official Autauga County and Alabama custodians, including the sheriff, criminal courts, ALEA repository, and state registry. Visitor information is not assembled into third-party records or consumer reports, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies govern submitted terms, retention, and sharing. We do not control those practices, so review the provider's policy before using its tool.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to court portals, sheriff pages, Alabama agencies, legal resources, or outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination's policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their tracking does not run as our criminal-record database.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used for data in our control. No internet service can promise perfect protection, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. A verified report of such information will be addressed through deletion.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary with governing law. Alabama's public-record access statute concerns government writings, while Ala. Code §§ 41-9-590 et seq. governs state criminal-history dissemination. Neither turns this private site into a government records custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with its new effective date.
