Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. The provider's own privacy terms apply to its handling of a query.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads, including:
- the connecting IP address;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies and similar technologies help measure how visitors use the pages. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, though parts of the site or partner tools may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports a limited set of operating purposes:
- keeping pages available and responsive;
- sending a search request to the selected partner;
- understanding which Cullman County topics visitors use;
- detecting faults and correcting technical problems; and
- presenting advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Privacy Beyond Our Pages
Links may lead to sheriff and jail pages, booking or custody resources, court and corrections portals, government services, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy notice and practices govern. Review them before submitting personal data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across more than one website and select interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs under the partner's control, not ours.
Parties Receiving Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be processed or disclosed to:
- search partners that receive and handle submitted queries;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver or assess ads; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order.
Security Measures and Limits
We use standard, reasonable safeguards suited to the information and service. No internet transmission, connected system, or storage method can be guaranteed secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach, interception, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted information, use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of our systems, you may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal data we hold about you;
- correct inaccurate information;
- delete information we retain; or
- opt out of certain processing where that choice applies.
These requests concern data controlled by this site. A sheriff, court, government portal, advertiser, or search partner controls its own records and request process.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the site, vendors, or legal duties change. An updated version takes effect when posted here with a revised effective date.
