Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered into an embedded search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those terms on its own systems. The provider's terms and privacy policy govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, the message and contact details are retained as needed to answer. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site use and remember limited preferences. A browser can reject or remove them, though some features may then work differently.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected data is used only for ordinary site and service functions.

- Measure which pages help visitors
- Detect and repair technical problems

Other Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to jail rosters, booking feeds, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's own policy controls its data practices.
Some advertising companies may use their systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. That tracking occurs under those companies' policies, not as a Madison County government function.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be provided when needed to the following parties.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site performance
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect information in the site's control. No internet-connected service is immune from every failure or attack, so absolute security cannot be promised.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the contact page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law and the data held, a visitor may make the following requests.
- Ask for a copy of personal data retained
- Correct inaccurate personal details
- Request deletion of eligible information
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
