Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Text entered in a search tool is delivered to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and returns its results. Carroll County Court Docket does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a message is sent directly, it may be retained long enough to review and answer it. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Ordinary web-server and analytics functions may collect technical information when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that can help measure traffic, popular pages, and navigation patterns. Analytics providers may aggregate that activity. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate, maintain, and improve website performance
- Route a voluntary search to the selected outside provider
- Understand which reference pages are useful
- Diagnose security and technical problems
- Support advertising that may be selected by interest
No Court-Record Data on File
Carroll County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of Indiana dockets or personal case records. It publishes general directions to MyCase, the Indiana Court Calendar, Carroll County Clerk, and the courts that hold official files. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports about third parties. Public access to official Carroll County records is governed by the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, I.C. 5-14-3, and the Indiana Rules on Access to Court Records, subject to exclusions and redaction.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power search tools appearing on some pages. Information submitted to those tools is handled under the provider's own privacy policy, retention rules, and sharing practices. Review those terms before running a search because this policy does not control the provider.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Indiana court portals, Carroll County offices, legal resources, or commercial services. Once a visitor follows an outside link, the destination's privacy terms apply. Advertising providers may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- A search partner processing a query submitted to its tool
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks serving content on the pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under the site's control. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so absolute protection against every breach cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor may be deleted when a valid request is received.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary with the law that applies to the visitor and the type of information involved. A person may be able to:
- Request access to personal information held about that person
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request deletion when the law permits it
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
The Indiana Access to Public Records Act and Indiana Rules on Access to Court Records govern access to government and court files. They do not make this private website the custodian of Carroll County records. Requests for an official court record belong with Carroll County Clerk or the maintaining court.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as services or legal duties change. A new version will be posted here with its effective date.
