Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name or case number into an outside search tool, the operator receives and processes that query. Hamilton County Court Docket does not record or retain those terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or submitted message may be kept long enough to respond. It is not disclosed outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
A page request can automatically provide limited technical information, including:
- 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 and Analytics
A cookie is a small device file used to understand page visits and exit points. Analytics providers aggregate such traffic for reports. Browser controls can block cookies, though some functions may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Hamilton County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case records. It provides general directions to records held by the Hamilton County Criminal Court Clerk, Circuit Court Clerk, Clerk & Master, other trial-court clerks, and official Tennessee systems. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or files about third parties.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and disclosure practices govern information entered there. Those practices are beyond this website's control, so review the provider's policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to Hamilton County clerk pages, Tennessee court resources, legal-aid organizations, official portals, and outside search tools. A destination's own privacy policy applies after a visitor leaves this website. Review it before disclosing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use cross-site activity to tailor ads. Any such tracking occurs within the provider's systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be available to:
- 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 or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security measures are used for collected information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, however, and this policy does not promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Notice that a minor supplied information will be addressed by deleting it as required.
Your Data Rights
Rights can differ based on residence and applicable Tennessee privacy and consumer-protection law. Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 34 and the Tennessee Public Records Act govern access to official public records, but they do not make this private site's visitor data a court record. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change. Any revised text will appear here with an updated effective date, and visitors should check it from time to time.
