Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or location into one of the search tools on our site, that input goes straight to the third-party provider that runs the search. They process it and return results. We do not store or log the search terms you enter on our end.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send us an email or use a contact method associated with this private website, we keep that message so we can reply. Your message stays within our team unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Every time a page on this site loads, our servers may collect technical details 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
We use cookies on this site. These small files let us see how visitors use Barbour County record pages, which pages receive traffic, and where technical problems may occur. Your browser settings let you block cookies. Some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data

Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to Alabama court portals, Barbour County offices, state agencies, legal resources, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing personal details.
Alabama public-records access may involve official custodians under Alabama Code Section 36-12-40, Alabama Code Section 36-12-41, and the 2024 request-procedure provisions in Sections 36-12-43 through 36-12-46. Those laws govern public-record access by custodians; they do not make this private website a government records office.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- 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, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. Nothing connected to the internet is risk-free. We work to keep information secure, but we cannot promise that a breach or service problem will never happen.
