Information You Send
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other detail into a search feature, that request may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Butler County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages to This Site
If you email us or send a contact message, we may keep the message long enough to review it and reply. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads. That information helps us understand site performance and basic visitor activity.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed to us.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How We Use Information
- To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Butler County custody and records pages are useful.
- To diagnose broken links, errors, or other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may reflect general visitor interests.
Other Websites
This site links to the Butler County Sheriff's Office, the sheriff app landing page, Butler County Circuit Clerk resources, AlaCourt, ADOC, BOP, ICE ODLS, and third-party search tools. Official Alabama public-records access is separate from this site's privacy practices and may involve Alabama Code 36-12-40, referenced by the state at treasury.alabama.gov/section-36-12-40-public-records. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of that outside website controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their platforms, not through records hosted by this site.

- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard safeguards for a website of this kind. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that information will never be accessed, lost, or misused.
