Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered into a search tool is sent to the outside company that operates it. That provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained so we can respond. It stays within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems receive basic technical details when a page loads, including:
- Page-view dates and times
- Visited pages and approximate time spent on them
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- Referring site, when one is available
- The internet protocol address assigned to the device
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and analytics services help us measure aggregate traffic, such as popular pages and common exit points. A browser can block cookies, though some site functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Maintaining availability and page performance
- Directing a requested search to the selected partner
- Measuring which content is useful or needs improvement
- Presenting advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Lamar County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of case records. Alabama's Rules of Court-Record Privacy and Confidentiality govern public access, confidential records, redaction, and remote subscriber access in the state courts. Those judicial-record rules do not turn this private reference site into a court custodian. Official Circuit Court and District Court files remain with the Circuit Clerk, and nothing collected from visitors is assembled into a consumer report.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their own privacy policies, retention rules, and disclosure practices apply to information submitted through those tools. Review the selected provider's policy first because we do not control it.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Lamar County court site, Just One Look, other government pages, legal-aid resources, or commercial services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy terms apply. Check them before supplying personal data.
Advertising partners may use their systems to track activity across sites for targeted advertising. We do not operate that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search companies processing a query you submit
- Advertising networks serving material on these pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices protect the data we collect, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security. A breach therefore cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
This service is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If such data is identified, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary with the law that applies to the visitor and the request. Alabama's court-record access rules concern official judicial records, not visitor analytics held by this private site. Subject to applicable privacy and consumer-protection law, you may ask to:
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Receive a copy of personal information held about you
- Delete personal information where the law requires it
- Opt out of processing when that right applies
