Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Entries made in a search tool are sent to the provider that operates that tool. This resource does not maintain a separate database of the names, case numbers, or other terms entered into a partner search box.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained so it can be answered or administered. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most web services, the site can receive routine technical information when a browser requests a page:
- Device IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device and operating-system information
- Viewed pages and visit duration
- Referring site, if one is supplied
- Page-view timestamps
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics tools may be used to understand traffic and maintain the service. Browser settings can restrict cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and message data may be used for ordinary operation and administration:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Routing a submitted search to its provider
- Assessing site use and performance
- Investigating service or security problems
- Displaying advertising that may be relevant to a visitor
No Court-Record Data on File
Delaware County Court Docket does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a database of court dockets or personal case records. It identifies public routes to the Delaware County Clerk of Courts, Court of Common Pleas, Delaware Municipal Court, and other record custodians. This resource is not a consumer reporting agency and does not assemble visitor data into consumer reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside providers operate the search boxes that appear on some pages. Their own privacy practices, retention policies, and terms control information submitted through those tools. Review the provider's policy before entering information.
Links to Other Websites
Links can lead to official clerk, court, legislative, and service-provider websites. The destination's privacy policy applies after a visitor leaves this resource. Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity or present advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be handled by service providers necessary to operate the site:
- Search providers receiving a submitted query
- Analytics or hosting providers
- Advertising networks serving a page
- Government authorities when a valid legal requirement applies
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for the information this resource handles. No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security, so visitors should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted information, contact us so the concern can be reviewed.
Your Data Rights
Visitors may ask about personal information held in connection with a direct message or site administration. Ohio court-record access is governed separately by the Ohio Public Records Act and the Ohio Rules of Superintendence 44-47. At a minimum, a visitor may:
- Request a copy of identifiable information held about that visitor
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion where retention is not required
- Ask about certain processing or sharing practices
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as the service or applicable requirements change. A revised version will appear on this page with an updated effective date.
