Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number submitted through a search box is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its result; this website does not retain or record the terms entered.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email is retained as needed to answer it. It remains within the organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page can cause the servers to receive the following routine technical information:
- 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
Cookies are small device files used to understand aggregate use, such as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers help compile those traffic measures. A browser can reject cookies, although blocking them may change how some features behave.
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
No database of dockets or personal case information is hosted, maintained, compiled, or sold here. The content identifies the Thomas County clerks, courts, and Georgia access channels that hold official material. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is never assembled into a consumer report or third-party record.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and sharing rules govern information submitted to them, and those practices are outside this site's control. Review the provider's policy before using its form.
Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to clerk of court pages, trial court portals, statewide case-search systems, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any personal details.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- 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, commonly used safeguards protect collected data. Internet transmission and storage cannot be guaranteed completely secure, so no promise can be made that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Notice that a minor supplied data will prompt its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Rights over personal data can differ by location and by the law that applies to a particular request. Georgia's general court-record access framework includes the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. ยงยง50-18-70 et seq., while court files are also governed by Uniform Superior Court Rule 21 and specific confidentiality rules. At a minimum, you can:
- 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
