Information You Choose to Submit
Search entries
When you enter a name, location, or other query into a search tool, that query passes to the third-party provider operating the tool. Lamar County Recent Arrests does not keep a separate log of those search terms. The provider may process the query under its own privacy policy.
Messages
If you send a message through a contact channel, we may retain the information you provide long enough to review and answer it. Do not send sensitive booking, payment, identity, or medical information. This private site cannot update a Lamar County Sheriff's Department, Lamar County Jail, court, or Alabama Department of Corrections record.

- Pages visited, referring page, timestamps, and time spent on the site.
Cookies and similar technologies may support basic operation, traffic measurement, and advertising. You can block or delete cookies through your browser, although some site functions may then behave differently.

Outside Sites and Data Recipients
Links on this site may lead to the Lamar County Sheriff's Department, the county jail, Alabama courts, ADOC, federal or immigration locators, and independent search services. Once you follow a link, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
We do not sell personal information.

Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. This site is intended for adults and is not directed to people under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the law that applies, you may ask what personal information we hold about you, request a correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. Browser controls can also limit cookies.
