Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location typed into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The partner processes the request and supplies its results. Cleburne County Criminal History does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
A message sent by email may be retained so it can be answered. It remains within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law. The site does not promise that email is a secure way to transmit confidential information.
Data We Gather Automatically
Normal web-server and analytics functions may collect technical details when a page loads.
- Device IP address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring site, when supplied
- Date and time of a request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics services help measure traffic, performance, popular pages, and navigation patterns. A browser can reject or delete cookies, although parts of the site may then work differently. Analytics normally present grouped usage trends rather than Cleburne County record data about a named person.
What We Do With This Data
Collected technical and submitted information may be used for these operating needs:
- Keeping pages available, responsive, and secure
- Routing a search request to the selected partner
- Learning which pages are useful
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Cleburne County Criminal History does not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It publishes general directions to the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office, the Circuit Clerk, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Criminal Records Identification Unit, the Alabama Department of Corrections, and the Alabama Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not combined into a consumer report or a third-party criminal history. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. A query submitted through one of those tools is governed by that provider's privacy policy, data-retention rules, and sharing terms. This policy does not control the partner's systems. Visitors should read the provider's terms before entering a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Cleburne County sheriff, Alabama court systems, ALEA, ADOC, the state registry, and other outside resources. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Personal information should be shared only after reviewing that policy.
Advertising companies may also use their own technology to measure activity across sites and select ads. That activity occurs on systems this site does not manage.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed or processed by:
- Search partners that receive a query
- Analytics vendors that measure performance and visits
- Advertising networks serving content
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under the site's control. No internet system or transmission method can be guaranteed secure. These measures reduce risk but cannot promise that loss, misuse, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 18. If the operator learns that such data was provided, it will be removed as soon as reasonably possible.
Your Data Rights
Applicable law may permit a person to request access, correction, deletion, or limits on some processing. Alabama's public-record provisions at Ala. Code §§ 36-12-40 and 36-12-41 govern public writings held by government custodians, not private visitor data on this site. Alabama's offender-information rule at Ala. Code § 41-9-601 restricts false-pretense procurement and unauthorized communication of offender information. Subject to law and records that must be retained, a visitor may:
- Ask what personal information is held
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of eligible information
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here, and its effective date will be updated.
