Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a site search tool is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Switzerland County Court Docket does not keep or log those terms on its own system.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email, the message may be retained for the purpose of responding. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
Routine server and analytics records can collect technical details when a page loads:
- Your device's IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure site use, including popular pages and exit points. Analytics providers may combine this activity into reports. Browser controls can block cookies, although disabling them may change how parts of the site function.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate the site and maintain page performance
- Route a query to the selected search partner
- Measure which resources visitors use
- Find and correct technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Switzerland County Court Docket does not host, sell, compile, or maintain a database of local dockets or personal case data. It publishes general directions to records held by the Switzerland County Circuit Court Clerk, Switzerland Circuit Court, and Indiana MyCase. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA, and visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search tools that may appear on content pages. Their own privacy terms govern information submitted to them, including retention and disclosure practices. Review the applicable provider policy before entering a query because this policy does not control partner systems.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Indiana Courts, the Switzerland County Circuit Court Clerk, MyCase, legal-aid resources, or private services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's policy applies. Read it before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their systems to observe activity across websites and choose targeted advertisements. That tracking is controlled by those companies.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information can be received by:
- Search providers processing a visitor's query
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks placing ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used security measures protect information handled by the site. No internet system is completely secure, however, so absolute protection or prevention of every breach cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If information from a minor is identified, a deletion request may be made through the listed contact route.
Your Data Rights
Rights concerning personal data depend on the law that applies to the visitor and the request. Indiana's Access to Court Records Rules 4 and 5 and Indiana's public-record framework, IC 5-14-3-1 et seq., govern access to official public records, not private-site privacy rights. No separate Indiana privacy statute is claimed here. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request a copy of personal data held by this site
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request deletion where the law permits it
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where a legal right applies
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes available on this page with an updated effective date.
