Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, the reasons it is used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. Continued use of the website indicates acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or case number entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not retain or record those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within the organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Loading a page can cause the servers to receive routine technical information about the visit, including:

  • 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 traffic, such as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics companies help compile those measurements. A browser can reject cookies, although blocking them may change how some website functions 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 Oconee County case-information database is hosted, maintained, assembled, or sold here. Instead, the content identifies county, municipal, Georgia, and federal custodians of dockets and records. Visitor information is not turned into reports about other people, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Independent companies supply the search tools. Information submitted through a tool is governed by that provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each partner controls its retention and disclosure rules, so review those terms before sending a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to clerk pages, court portals, Georgia resources, legal-aid organizations, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's privacy policy controls. Check it before providing personal information.

Advertising companies may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for interest-based ads. That tracking is performed by those companies.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal information is not sold. Limited data may nevertheless be received by:

  • 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 standard safeguards are used for collected information. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, so absolute protection or freedom from a breach cannot be guaranteed.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be removed when a valid request is received.

Your Data Rights

Rights involving personal information may arise under Georgia privacy and consumer-protection law. The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. ยงยง 50-18-70 et seq., applies to public agencies; it does not make this private website a public-record custodian. Uniform Superior Court Rule 36.16 addresses public access to electronically filed court records, but it does not govern visitor data collected here. Subject to applicable law, a user may:

  • 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 legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with a new effective date, so users should review the page periodically.

Effective date: August 21, 2026
