Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name, date of birth, or another search term, the query goes to the outside company that runs the tool. That company processes the request and returns the result. St. Clair County Warrant Records does not keep or log the search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
A message may be retained for as long as needed to prepare and deliver a reply. It is not shared outside the site operations team unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Some routine technical details are recorded automatically when a page loads:
- Page-view dates and times
- The referring website, when one is available
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- Device type and operating system
- Browser type and version
- The device's IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help show, in aggregate, how people move through the site, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers assist with that measurement. A visitor may block cookies through browser controls, although doing so can change how parts of the website function.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a search request to the appropriate partner service
- Maintaining reliable operation and page speed
- Diagnosing and correcting technical problems
- Measuring which pages are useful and where revisions may help
- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests
No Warrant Data on File
This website does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of warrants or personal warrant records. Its pages point readers toward the St. Clair County Circuit Clerk, the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office, and the county's municipal courts. No single public statewide Alabama warrant-search database was identified. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and it does not turn visitor data into consumer reports or personal dossiers.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the search partner's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each partner controls its own retention and sharing rules. Visitors should read those terms before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to sheriff pages, court portals, Alabama traffic services, legal-aid resources, or outside search tools. After a visitor follows one of those links, the destination site's privacy policy applies. Review that policy before providing personal information.
Some advertising companies may use activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems and policies.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a query
- Advertising networks serving ads on the pages
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, so the site cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If the operators learn that a minor supplied personal data, they will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Alabama and federal privacy or consumer-protection laws may grant rights involving personal information. The Alabama Open Records Act, Code of Alabama §§36-12-40 et seq., as amended by Act 2024-278, concerns access to public records. It does not make this private website a government records custodian. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request deletion of personal data
- Ask for access to personal information held about them
- Opt out of certain processing where that right applies
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
Updates to This Policy
Changes to this policy will appear on this page with a revised effective date. Visitors should check the page from time to time for updates.
Effective date: September 9, 2026
