Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool passes directly to the outside provider that operates it. That provider handles the query and supplies any result. We do not retain those search terms in our own records.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be kept long enough to answer and manage the exchange. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Routine server logs may receive these technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view dates and times
- Device and operating-system category
- Browser name and version
- IP address used for the connection
- Visited pages and approximate time spent
- A referring website, when one is reported
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure page use and visitor flow. Analytics vendors combine that traffic into broader reports. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a submitted query to the selected search provider
- Maintain reliable and prompt page delivery
- Diagnose faults and repair technical problems
- Measure which resources visitors use
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
No database of Dallas County dockets or personal case information is hosted, compiled, maintained, or sold here. The site provides general directions to the Dallas County Circuit Clerk, Alabama courts, and official case-access systems. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy terms govern data entered there, and each company controls its own retention and disclosure rules. Read the provider's policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to clerks, courts, Alabama case systems, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Their policies apply after a visitor leaves this website. Review them before providing personal data.
An advertising provider may use its own technology to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads. That processing occurs on the provider's systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may reach:
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Search providers receiving a query sent through their tool
- Advertising networks delivering material on a page
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security measures are used for collected data, but no internet system can guarantee absolute protection. A breach can never be ruled out.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Data identified as belonging to a minor will be removed when properly brought to our attention.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Alabama privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights beyond those listed here. Alabama's public-writing access rule, Ala. Code ยง 36-12-40, and the Alabama Rules of Court-Record Privacy and Confidentiality govern official records held by courts, not visitor data held by this private site. Visitors may still:
- Request access to personal data held about you
- Ask that inaccurate data be corrected
- Seek deletion where the law permits it
- Object to or opt out of eligible processing
