Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Text entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query under its own practices. This resource does not maintain a separate log of those query terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If an email is sent to the operator, the message and contact details may be retained to respond, administer the resource, or meet a legal obligation. They are not sold as a contact list.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, the hosting and analytics services can receive technical data associated with a visit.
- IP address and browser information
- Device and operating-system details
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring page information when available
- Page-view timestamps
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and similar tools can help measure traffic, performance, and page use. Browser controls may limit cookies, although some services or features may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and voluntary information may be used to operate, secure, measure, and improve the resource, to route a search request to its provider, and to diagnose service problems. It may also support advertising delivered through third-party systems.
No Court-Record Data on File
Mecklenburg County Court Docket does not host, sell, compile, or maintain a database of court dockets or personal case files. It publishes general routing information for the Mecklenburg County Clerk, trial courts, and public Portal. North Carolina G.S. 7A-109 addresses Clerk-maintained records and public inspection subject to legal limits; G.S. 132-6.2 addresses covered-agency copy costs. Neither statute makes this private resource a court-record custodian. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside providers operate the search boxes that appear on some pages. Their collection, retention, pricing, and disclosure practices are governed by their own notices. Review a provider’s terms and privacy information before entering a query or choosing a paid service.
Links to Other Websites
Links can lead to Judicial Branch pages, legislative sources, Clerk resources, Portal, and other external services. Once a visitor leaves this resource, the destination’s privacy practices control. Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure or tailor advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold by this resource. Limited information can be processed by service providers that support site operations.
- Search partners that receive a submitted query
- Analytics and hosting providers
- Advertising services that place or measure advertisements
- Government authorities when a valid legal process requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect data handled by the resource. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so visitors should avoid submitting sensitive information through channels not designed for it.
Users Under 18
The resource is directed to adults and does not knowingly seek personal information from children. If the operator learns that a minor has provided personal information directly, reasonable steps will be taken to remove it from the operator’s records.
Your Data Rights
Applicable law may provide rights concerning personal data. A visitor may ask about information held by the operator, seek correction of inaccurate details, request deletion where appropriate, or ask about an objection to certain processing. Court records are not controlled by this private resource; requests for official Mecklenburg County records must go to the Clerk or the court that maintains them.
Updates to This Policy
The operator may revise this policy as services or practices change. The revised policy will appear on this page with an updated effective date.
Effective date: August 31, 2026
