Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Madison County Released Inmates handles information from visitors who use the site, contact us, or interact with third-party search tools. Official sheriff, court, ADOC, ABPP, VINE, and federal portals have their own privacy rules.

Information Collected

Search queries entered into search boxes may pass to third-party search providers. Contact messages may include the name, email address, and details a visitor chooses to send. The site may also collect routine technical data, such as device type, browser type, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location from an IP address, and time of visit.

Cookies, pixels, or similar tools may be used for analytics, advertising, fraud prevention, and basic site operation.


How Information Is Used

Information may be used to operate the site, respond to messages, understand which Madison County release-record pages are useful, prevent abuse, improve content, and support advertising or search partnerships. Search partner tools may use query information under their own policies and terms.


Who May Receive It

Data may be shared with search partners, analytics providers, advertising networks, hosting vendors, security services, or law enforcement when required by a valid legal order. Links to sheriff, court, ADOC, ABPP, VINE, BOP, ICE, or statute pages take visitors to outside sites that this site does not control.


Security and Age Limits

Reasonable security measures are used, but no website can promise perfect protection. This site is not directed to children under 18, and visitors should not send sensitive personal details unless needed for a message they choose to submit.


Choices and Updates

Visitors may limit cookies through browser settings and may contact the site about a message they sent. Some rights may depend on state or federal law. Alabama public-records access is separately governed by laws such as Alabama Code Section 36-12-40 and by the public agency that holds the record. This policy may be updated when site operations or partner tools change.
