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. We do not retain or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be kept as needed to prepare and send a response. Messages remain within our organization unless disclosure is required by a legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers automatically receive certain technical information about the visit:
- Page-view dates and times
- The referring website, when one is available
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Visited pages and the time spent viewing them
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help measure site use, including popular pages and points where visitors leave. Analytics vendors combine this traffic information for reporting. Cookies can be blocked through browser controls, although doing so may change how some site features function.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing and correcting technical problems
- Routing search requests to the selected outside service
- Maintaining site availability and performance
- Measuring which content is useful and where improvements are needed
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not sell, compile, host, or maintain a database of dockets or personal court-case details. The content identifies where Catoosa County records are kept and explains how to approach the responsible clerk, trial court, or Georgia case-access route. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted through a box is governed by that company's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its retention and disclosure practices. Review those terms before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to clerk pages, court portals, Georgia case-access services, legal-aid resources, or commercial search tools. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's privacy terms apply. Those terms should be read before personal information is provided.
Some advertising companies may measure activity across multiple websites to select targeted ads. Such tracking occurs through their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. It may, however, be disclosed to:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search providers processing a submitted query
- Advertising networks serving content on the pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure, so these measures cannot eliminate every possibility of unauthorized access.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If a minor is believed to have submitted information, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Data Rights
Rights involving personal information may arise under applicable Georgia or federal law. The Georgia Open Records Act applies to covered government records. Uniform Superior Court Rules 21 and 36.17 concern court-record access and protected identifiers. Neither authority makes this private resource a court custodian. Where the law applies, a person may:
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask for access to personal information held about them
- Object to certain forms of processing
- Seek deletion of personal data
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any replacement will be posted here with its effective date, so visitors should review the page periodically for changes in data practices.
Effective date: August 21, 2026
