Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, case number, or other query entered in an embedded search tool is transmitted to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies any response. We do not retain or log those query terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We may keep an email sent to us for the time needed to answer and administer the exchange. We do not disclose that message beyond our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems automatically receive basic technical information when a visitor loads a page:
- Page-view times and the pages visited
- Browser type and version
- Device category and operating system
- The referring site, when available
- The device's assigned IP address
- Approximate time spent on each page
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure site use, such as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine this traffic information for us. A browser can reject cookies, although disabling them may change how parts of the site work.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing faults and correcting technical problems
- Operating the site and maintaining reasonable load times
- Routing a submitted query to the selected search partner
- Measuring which pages are useful or need improvement
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Hall County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case data. It publishes directions to Hall County Superior and State Court resources and to the separate clerks or systems used by other courts. Visitor information is not assembled into third-party records or consumer reports, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes on this site are powered by outside companies. Anything you enter into those tools is processed under the partner's own privacy policy, not this one. Those partners set their own data-retention and sharing practices, and we do not control them. Review the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to clerk of court pages, trial court portals, statewide case-search systems, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any 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
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- 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
We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. But nothing connected to the internet is bulletproof. We do what we can to keep your information secure, though we cannot promise a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has shared data with us, reach out and we'll delete it right away.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights over personal data. The Georgia Open Records Act, including O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71, governs requests to covered public offices; it does not convert this private site into a court-record custodian. Uniform Superior Court Rule 21 separately addresses access to and sealing of Superior Court records. Subject to applicable law, you 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
We may change this privacy policy down the road. When we do, the updated version goes up on this page with a new effective date. Check back if you want to keep tabs on how we handle your information.
Effective date: August 21, 2026
