Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Text entered in a sponsored search tool is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query under its own policy. Montgomery County Court Docket does not keep those search terms in a local court-record database.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends an email, the message may be retained long enough to respond and maintain necessary records. It is not shared outside the organization unless required by law or needed to operate the service.
Data We Gather Automatically
Standard server and analytics logs may record an IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, visit length, and timestamps.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics help measure traffic, performance, and common navigation paths. Browser controls can limit cookies, although some site functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
Collected technical data may be used to operate and secure the site, route a requested partner search, study which pages are useful, fix errors, and display advertising. It is not used to create an official Montgomery County case file.
No Court-Record Data on File
This site does not host, compile, or sell Montgomery County court dockets or personal case-record databases. Official records remain with the Montgomery County Circuit Clerk, the relevant court, or another lawful custodian. Public access is governed by Alabama's Rules of Court-Record Privacy and Confidentiality, Alabama Rule of Judicial Administration 33, and Alabama Code section 36-12-40, subject to court-specific limits and exceptions.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power sponsored search boxes. Their own privacy terms govern any data entered there, including retention and sharing. Review the provider's policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Alabama courts, the Montgomery County Circuit Clerk, government databases, legal resources, and other services. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination's policy controls. Advertising companies may also use their own technology to measure activity.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to hosting and analytics vendors, advertising or search partners, and public authorities acting under valid legal process.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used. No internet service can promise perfect security, so transmission and storage risks cannot be eliminated.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly seek personal information from minors. Data known to have been submitted by a minor will be handled as required by applicable law.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Alabama and federal privacy or consumer-protection law may permit a person to ask what personal information is held, seek correction or deletion, or object to some processing. These rights concern site visitor data, not public court records. Requests to inspect or correct an Alabama court record must go to the court custodian under the governing court rules and lawful process.
