Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, cause number, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the entry and returns its results. Orange County Court Docket does not retain or create its own log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, the message may be retained long enough to review and answer it. We do not voluntarily disclose that correspondence outside our organization, though we may do so when the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers may receive standard technical details whenever a visitor loads a page:
- Your device's Internet Protocol address
- Browser name, type, and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time information for a visit
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. We may use them with analytics services to understand aggregate traffic, popular pages, and navigation patterns. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, although disabling them may change how some website functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate, maintain, and improve website performance
- Route a submitted query to the applicable search partner
- Measure which resources visitors use
- Diagnose errors and security issues
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Orange County Court Docket does not maintain, host, sell, or compile a database of personal case information or official court dockets. It publishes general directions for finding records held by Elizabeth Jones, Orange County Clerk, Orange Circuit Court, Orange Superior Court, and Indiana MyCase. The website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party court-record profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information placed in a partner tool is governed by that company's privacy policy, retention rules, and disclosure practices. We do not control those practices. Review the partner's terms and privacy statement before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Indiana MyCase, Indiana court rules, the Orange County Clerk or trial courts, legal-aid resources, and outside search services. Once you follow an external link, the destination's privacy policy applies. Consider that policy before providing personal details.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or tailor advertisements. Such tracking occurs through their systems and policies.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to:
- A search provider processing a query submitted to its tool
- Analytics vendors measuring visits and performance
- Advertising networks serving content on the website
- Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under our control. No online transmission or storage system is completely secure, however. We cannot guarantee that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary with the law applicable to a visitor. Indiana's consumer-protection framework includes the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act, Indiana Code 24-5-0.5. Indiana Code 5-14-3, the Access to Public Records Act, governs requests to public agencies, while Indiana Access to Court Records Rules 4 and 5 govern public and confidential court records. Those public-record authorities do not create rights over data held by this private website. Depending on applicable law, you may ask us to:
- Provide information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete information where the law permits
- Honor an available opt-out from specified processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this privacy policy as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes available here with its new effective date, so visitors should review the policy periodically.
Effective date: August 23, 2026
