Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, the reasons it is used, and the limited situations in which another party may receive it. Continued use of the website signifies acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or case number entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the request under its own practices; we do not keep a local log of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email is retained as needed to answer it. We keep the message within the organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, the servers automatically receive basic technical information about the visit:

  • The IP address assigned to your device
  • Which browser you are using and its version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
  • The site that sent you here, if any
  • Timestamps for each page view

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files used to understand traffic patterns, such as popular pages and exit points. Analytics providers help combine that usage data. A browser can block cookies, although disabling them may change how some features work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
  • Sending your search requests to the right partner service
  • Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
  • Tracking down and fixing technical issues
  • Showing ads that may line up with your interests

No Court-Record Data on File

No database of Lowndes County dockets or personal case information is hosted, compiled, maintained, or sold here. The content identifies official record custodians and access routes. Visitor data is not assembled into third-party profiles or consumer reports, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies power the search boxes. Their privacy policies govern submitted data, including retention and disclosure decisions that we do not control. Review the named provider's terms before entering a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Alabama courts, clerk pages, record portals, legal-aid resources, or outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's policy controls. Check it before disclosing personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be handled by:

  • Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
  • Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
  • Ad networks that place ads on our pages
  • Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security measures protect collected information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach can never be ruled out completely.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such data is identified, a deletion request may be submitted.

Your Data Rights

Applicable law may provide additional control over personal data. Alabama Code ยงยง36-12-40 through 45 and the Alabama Rules of Court-Record Privacy and Confidentiality govern access to official public and court records; they do not turn this private website into the government custodian. Visitors may still:

  • Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
  • Have us fix information that is wrong
  • Request that we erase your data
  • Opt out of certain kinds of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. A changed version will appear here with its new effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.

Effective date: August 13, 2026
