Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you enter a name, place, or other term in a search tool, the query is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. Jefferson County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy governs its handling of the query.
Emails and Messages
If you send an email or submit a contact message, we keep the details needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site receives limited technical information when a page loads. That information can help us understand traffic and diagnose errors.
- Your Internet Protocol address
- Your browser type and version
- Your device class and operating system
- The pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- The date and time of each request
Browser Cookies
Cookies may be used to measure how visitors move through the site and to support site functions. You can block cookies through browser controls, though some features may then work differently or not at all.
Reasons We Use Data
The information collected is used for the limited operational purposes below.
- Maintain reliable and responsive pages
- Send submitted searches to the selected partner service
- Measure which guides visitors find useful
- Identify and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Pages may link to the Jefferson County inmate inquiry, Sheriff and jail contacts, Alabama court and corrections portals, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once you follow a link, the destination's own privacy terms apply. This notice does not control another website.
Some advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and choose interest-based ads. Any such tracking occurs through those companies, not through a personal-data sale by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by a limited group of service providers or disclosed when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Our Security Measures
We use standard safeguards intended to protect information under our control. No website, network, storage system, or transmission method can be guaranteed fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal data, notify us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may exercise the following rights concerning personal data held by this site.
- Ask for a copy of information we maintain about you
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask for deletion of personal data
- Opt out of certain forms of processing
