Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, case number, or other query entered in an embedded search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results; Long County Court Docket does not retain or log those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message may be retained as needed to respond. It is not disclosed outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Normal server and analytics operations may collect technical information when a page loads, 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 activity, such as commonly visited pages and points where visits end. Analytics providers assist with that measurement. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how portions of the website function.
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
Long County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case information. It publishes general directions to Georgia Courts E-Access, Sherry McFann Long as Clerk of Superior Court, and other Long County court custodians. The website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is never assembled into consumer reports or third-party case profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes placed on some pages. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and sharing rules govern information submitted to them. Review the applicable provider policy before entering a query because this policy does not control that processing.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Georgia court portals, Long County clerk resources, legal-aid organizations, or commercial search providers. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based advertisements.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- 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, commonly used safeguards protect collected information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, however, and the absence of a future breach cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information identified as having been provided by a minor will be deleted when properly brought to our attention.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary by residence and applicable law. Georgia's Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq., concerns access to qualifying government records and does not create a right to private website analytics or override Georgia court-record access rules. Subject to applicable privacy and consumer-protection law, a visitor 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 requirements change. A revised version will be posted here with its effective date.
