Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, state, or similar detail into a search box powered by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Contact Messages
If you send a message about an Elmore County page, broken link, or correction, we may keep the message long enough to review it and reply. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical information when a page loads.
- IP address or network information.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring site or link, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, support analytics, and help advertising or search partners operate their services. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features or partner tools may not behave the same way.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct third-party provider.
- To understand which Elmore County jail, court, ADOC, BOP, or ICE pages visitors use most.
- To identify broken links, loading problems, and technical errors.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or site activity.
Links Leaving This Site
This site links to resources such as the Elmore County Sheriff's Office, Elmore County Jail information, ADOC inmate search, Alabama court portals, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the destination site's own privacy notice and terms control its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites or deliver targeted ads. That activity is handled by those partners, not by the Elmore County agencies named on this site.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information as a standalone product. Information may be made available to limited parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Third-party search partners that process search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards for information handled through the site, but no internet-connected service can be promised as fully secure. This notice does not create a guarantee that unauthorized access, outages, or errors can never occur.

This site is meant for adults looking for public-record and custody-resource information. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information through this site, contact us so it can be reviewed for deletion.

This privacy notice may be revised as site features, search partners, advertising tools, or legal requirements change. Updates are posted on this page with the current version replacing the prior text.
