Information You Provide
Search Queries
When you type a name, location, or other detail into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Jackson County Inmate Population does not store or log those search terms on its own system.
Messages and Contact Requests
If you email the site or send a contact message, the information you provide is kept so we can review and answer it. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, technical information may be collected when a page loads.
- Your IP address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- The pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and whether pages are functioning as expected. You can block cookies through your browser settings, though some features or measurements may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service that handles them.
- To understand which Jackson County inmate and jail-record pages are useful.
- To diagnose broken pages, errors, and technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Links Away From This Site
This site links to sheriff rosters, jail pages, Alabama court and corrections resources, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Local examples include jacksoncountysheriffal.org/inmate-roster/search, jacksoncountysheriffal.org/contact-us, and jackson.alacourt.gov/circuit-clerk-bart-buchanan. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the outside service governs what happens there.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for targeted ad delivery. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Jackson County government office.
