Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, county, state, or other term is entered into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Limestone County Released Inmates does not store those search terms in its own inmate or release-record database.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it, respond, and maintain ordinary business records. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless required by law, legal process, or a valid government order.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information when pages load. The data helps measure use, detect problems, and keep pages working across browsers and devices.
- IP address or approximate network location.
- Browser name, version, and settings.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on pages.
- Referring page or site, when available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used for analytics, advertising, site preferences, and performance checks. You can block or delete cookies through browser settings. Some search, ad, or measurement features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the correct outside search provider.
- To understand which Limestone County release-record pages are useful.
- To find broken links, display errors, or technical problems.
- To show advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to the Limestone County Sheriff's Office, the public inmate portal, ADOC, ABPP, Alabama VNS, VINELink, Alacourt, BOP, ICE, court pages, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar tools to measure ads or show interest-based advertising across sites. Those activities occur on the partner's systems, not in an official Limestone County release-record system operated by this site.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal contact messages. Information may be received by service providers or authorities in limited settings.
- Search partners that process a query you submit through their tool.
- Analytics vendors that measure page use and site performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or other government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical steps are used to protect information handled by the site. No website, email system, analytics tool, or internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof. Do not send sensitive details unless they are needed for the reason you are contacting us.
