Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the entry and supplies its results. We do not keep or record those search terms on our own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, we retain the message and its contact details as needed to respond. We do not disclose the message outside our organization unless a valid legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers may receive routine technical information when a page is requested, including:
- Your device's Internet Protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time information for page requests
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on a device. We and our analytics providers may use them to measure overall traffic, identify popular pages, and understand where visits end. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although doing so may change how some website functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
Visitor and technical data may be used for the following operational purposes:
- Operating the website and maintaining reliable page delivery
- Sending a query to the selected outside search provider
- Measuring which materials visitors use
- Diagnosing errors, misuse, and performance problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Fulton County Court Docket does not host, sell, maintain, or compile a database of official dockets or personal case records. It provides public guidance on finding records through Indiana MyCase, Fulton Circuit Court, Fulton Superior Court, and the Fulton County Clerk of Courts. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search tools displayed on the website. Information submitted to one of those tools is governed by that provider's privacy policy and practices. We do not set or control the provider's rules for retention, processing, or disclosure. Review the applicable provider policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Indiana court resources, Fulton County offices, legal-aid resources, or commercial tools. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy terms apply. Consider those terms before submitting personal information.
Advertising providers may use technology on their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their collection and processing are not controlled by this policy.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Outside search providers that process a visitor's query
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that deliver advertisements
- Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information in our control. No website, network, or online transmission is completely secure, however. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access or another security incident will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will take reasonable steps to remove it.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary with residence and the law that applies to the request. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act and the Indiana Rules on Access to Court Records concern government and court records; they do not turn visitor analytics held by a private website into a Fulton County court record. Subject to applicable law, you may ask to:
- Receive information about personal data we hold about you
- Correct information that is inaccurate
- Delete data where a legal exception does not require retention
- Limit or object to certain processing where that right applies
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this privacy policy as practices or legal duties change. A revised version will be posted here, and its effective date will be updated. Continued use after a revision means the new policy applies to later activity.
Effective date: August 23, 2026
