Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. Pierce County Court Docket does not keep a local log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained long enough to answer and manage the exchange. It stays within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, server and analytics systems may record basic technical details:
- 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 files saved on a device. They and analytics services help measure traffic, page use, and navigation patterns in aggregate. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though certain 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
Pierce County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of personal case information. It explains how to reach re:SearchGA, Pierce County Superior Court, and the relevant clerk. Visitor information is never assembled into a consumer report. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention rules, and disclosure practices apply to information submitted there. Review the provider’s policy before running a query because this policy does not control its systems.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Pierce clerk, Georgia courts, re:SearchGA, legal-aid resources, or commercial tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy governs. Read it before providing 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
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed 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 protect collected information. No internet service can promise absolute security, so unauthorized access or loss cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be removed when properly brought to our attention.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Georgia privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights beyond those listed here. The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §§ 50-18-70 through 50-18-72, concerns government records and does not turn this private site into a public agency. Visitors may still:
- 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 be revised as practices or law change. A replacement takes effect when posted, together with its new effective date.
Effective date: August 21, 2026
