Information You Submit
A name or location entered in a search box passes to the outside provider that operates that tool. This site does not retain or log those terms on its own systems. Messages sent by email or a contact form may be kept as needed to reply and manage the exchange. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Normal server, analytics, and advertising systems may record technical information when a page loads.
- Internet Protocol address

- Date and time stamps
Cookies help measure use and support site features. Browser controls can reject them, though some functions may then behave differently.
Purposes for Collection
Collected data may be used to keep pages secure and responsive, send a search to the selected partner, understand which content is useful, diagnose errors, and display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
Links and Outside Services
Links lead to DeKalb County jail and police resources, Alabama courts and corrections pages, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy policy controls. Advertising partners may track activity across sites through their own systems.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may reach search partners processing a query, analytics vendors, advertising networks, or a law-enforcement or government body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Measures
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used. No networked service is fully secure, so breach-proof storage or transmission cannot be promised.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to request deletion of information a minor submitted.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a person may ask for a copy of held personal data, request a correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. These rights concern information held by this private site, not a record maintained under Alabama public-records law by the Sheriff, a court, or another agency.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may change as services or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted with its new effective date.
