Information You Submit
Search terms
A name, location, or other term entered into a sponsored search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its receipt and use of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or use an available contact method, we retain the message and the information you supply as needed to respond. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
A page visit may produce routine technical and usage data used to operate and understand the site. This can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring site, when supplied; and
- date and time information.
Cookies
Cookies and similar browser storage may help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can be set to reject or delete cookies, though blocking them may cause some functions or partner tools to behave differently.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable speed and reliability.
- Send a sponsored search request to the provider selected by the visitor.
- Measure which Cleburne County pages and resources are useful.
- Diagnose errors, security concerns, and other technical problems.
- Support advertising that may be selected according to a visitor’s interests.
Other Websites and Services
Links may lead to the Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office, court portals, ADOC, VINELink, federal custody locators, news sites, or independent search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy policy controls. Alabama’s public-records framework, including Alabama Code § 36-12-40, governs access to eligible government records, but it does not govern the privacy practices of this private site or every linked provider.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select targeted advertising. That tracking occurs on their systems and is governed by their policies.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may nonetheless be processed or disclosed to:
- search partners that receive and answer a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure visits and performance;
- advertising networks that deliver or assess ads; and
- law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies when disclosure is required by a valid legal order.
Security Has Limits
We use standard, reasonable practices intended to protect information under our control. No website, network, storage system, or internet transmission is completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, altered, or disclosed without authorization.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may use the Get in Touch page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a person may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request correction of inaccurate data, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Browser controls may also be used to limit cookies. These requests do not alter records held by Cleburne County, ADOC, a court, or another linked source.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as the site or its service providers change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
Effective date: September 4, 2026.
