Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, case number, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third party that operates that tool. That provider processes the request and supplies any result. Schley County Court Docket does not keep a local log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
A message sent directly to the operator may be retained as needed to respond and maintain the communication. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to protect legal rights.
Data We Gather Automatically
Standard web systems may record technical facts when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser, device, and operating-system details
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring page, when supplied
- Date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics can measure traffic, page use, performance, and advertising activity. A browser can refuse or remove cookies, although some functions may then work differently. Analytics reports generally combine visits rather than describing an official Schley County case record.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate, secure, and improve the website
- Send a chosen search to the appropriate outside provider
- Measure which pages are useful and diagnose faults
- Display and assess advertising
- Meet legal duties and prevent misuse
No Court-Record Data on File
Schley County Court Docket does not host, sell, or compile a database of court dockets or personal case files. It publishes directions to official custodians such as Kimberly McKinney, Clerk of Superior Court, the Probate and Magistrate clerk, Ellaville Municipal Court, and Georgia's provider directory. Georgia's Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. ยงยง 50-18-70 and 50-18-71, addresses public-agency records, while Uniform Superior Court Rules 21, 21.6, and 36.17 govern court access and protected information. Those laws do not make this private website a court custodian or consumer reporting agency.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate search boxes that appear on some pages. Information submitted there is handled under the selected provider's policy, retention practices, and terms. Review those rules before entering personal data because this policy does not control the provider.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Georgia courts, Schley County offices, Ellaville resources, legal organizations, or commercial services. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination's privacy rules apply. Some advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold by this website. Limited data may be available to:
- Search providers receiving a query
- Hosting, security, and analytics vendors
- Advertising networks serving page content
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information under the operator's control. No internet service or storage method is completely secure, so absolute protection against every breach cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly seek personal information from anyone under 18. Information identified as having been provided by a minor may be removed when the operator learns of it.
Your Data Rights
Rights depend on the law that applies to the visitor and the type of data involved. A person may be entitled to:
- Request access to personal information held by the operator
- Ask for correction of inaccurate information
- Seek deletion where the law permits
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
The Georgia Open Records Act concerns records held by public agencies and does not create a general consumer-privacy request against this private site. Requests for an official Schley County court file must go to the responsible clerk under the applicable court-access rules.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when posted, and visitors should review it periodically.
