Information You Submit
Search Entries
Names, locations, or other terms entered into a search box are sent to the third-party provider that operates that search tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message is used to review and answer the request. It is not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is legally required.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, each page visit may create technical data used for site operation, security, analytics, and advertising measurement.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and browser version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website or link, when available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service when a visitor uses a partner tool.
- To understand which Shelby County jail, court, and facility pages are useful.
- To detect errors, broken links, abuse, or technical problems.
- To display advertisements that may be based on general interests.
Links Away From This Site
Pages link to the Shelby County Sheriff's Office roster, Shelby County and Circuit Clerk resources, ADOC, BOP, ICE, AlaVINE, and third-party search tools. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination website's own privacy notice controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's policies, not this notice alone.

- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
