Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a sponsored search tool is transmitted to the third party that operates that service. The provider processes the search and supplies its own results. Lee County Court Docket does not keep a local log of the names or case numbers submitted through the partner widget.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends an email, the message and return address may be retained long enough to respond and maintain ordinary business records. The message is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law. Sensitive case facts should be sent to the court, not to this private site.
Data We Gather Automatically
Standard technical records may be created when a page loads. They can include:
- The device's internet protocol address and visit time.
- Browser version, operating system, and device category.
- Pages viewed and the approximate length of a visit.
- The referring website, when that information is supplied.
- Performance, error, and navigation information.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files that can support analytics, preferences, and advertising. Aggregate reports help show which Lee County topics are useful and where technical problems occur. A browser can refuse or remove cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate, secure, and improve website performance.
- Pass a visitor's chosen query to the applicable outside provider.
- Measure general traffic and content use.
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and service interruptions.
- Support advertising and site maintenance.
No Court-Record Data on File
Lee County Court Docket does not maintain or sell a database of official Alabama dockets or personal case files. It publishes reference material about the Lee County Circuit Clerk, trial courts, municipal custodians, the Docket List, and other access paths. Visitor analytics are not assembled into reports about third parties. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the sponsored search tools. Their privacy policies and terms govern any information entered after a visitor uses those services. Each provider decides how long it retains data, what it charges, and whether it shares information. Review the provider's policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Circuit Clerk of Lee County, Alabama court portals, municipal sites, legal resources, or search partners. An external site's own privacy rules apply after the visitor leaves this domain. Advertising companies may also use their systems to measure activity across sites. Lee County Court Docket does not control those outside practices.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold by this site. Limited data may be processed by:
- A search provider chosen by the visitor.
- Analytics and hosting services that support the site.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- A government body when disclosure is compelled by valid legal process.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information under the site's control. No online transmission or storage system is guaranteed to be immune from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. Visitors should avoid sending private case details that belong with an official court office.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. A verified request concerning information submitted by a minor will be reviewed and, when appropriate, the data will be removed.
Your Data Rights
Rights over visitor data depend on the law that applies to the person and the processing activity. A visitor may ask to access, correct, or delete personal data held by the site, or object to certain processing when the governing law provides that choice. Alabama Code § 36-12-40 and the Alabama Open Records Act concern public writings; they do not turn this private website's visitor logs into Lee County court records.
- Request access to personal information maintained about the visitor.
- Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected.
- Seek deletion when retention is not legally required.
- Use browser and provider controls to limit cookies or partner processing.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as services or legal duties change. A new version becomes available on this page and carries its current effective date. Continued use after publication is subject to the updated policy.
