Information You Provide
Search Terms
If you type a name, county, state, or other search detail into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages to the Site
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to review the issue and respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical details when a page loads, including:
- Your IP address.
- Browser name, version, and settings.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps connected to site activity.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies help measure how visitors use pages and whether site features work as intended. You can block cookies in your browser, but some features, ads, or analytics functions may behave differently after blocking them.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the Wilcox County reference pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service when a third-party tool is used.
- To understand which jail, court, and facility pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose broken links, page errors, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
Links Away From This Site
This site links to sheriff pages, jail information, ADOC resources, AlaCourt, BOP, ICE, public-records material, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy notice and data practices of the destination site control what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and serve interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by this site's own records.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to these categories of recipients when needed:
- Search providers that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics vendors that help measure site traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a small reference website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof. Do not treat any online transmission as perfectly secure.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor provided information to us, contact us so the information can be reviewed for deletion.
Your Choices and Rights
- You may ask what personal information we hold about you.
- You may request correction of information that is wrong.
- You may ask for deletion of information we are not required to keep.
- You may opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that right.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as the site, partner tools, advertising services, or legal requirements change. Updates will be posted on this page with the new effective version.
