Privacy Policy

This policy describes information collected when a visitor uses Cuyahoga County Court Docket, how that information is used, and the circumstances in which it may be shared. Continued use of this privately operated website is subject to these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

Information entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. This website does not store or log those search terms.

  • Browser version and device operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on them
  • Referring site, where available
  • Page-view timestamps

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies and analytics tools help measure traffic and site performance. Browser settings can limit cookies, although some functions may behave differently.

  • Understand traffic and performance trends
  • Investigate technical problems
  • Support advertising that may be interest-based

No Court-Record Data on File

This website does not host, compile, or sell court-docket or personal case-record databases. It provides general routing information for official Cuyahoga County sources. Court-record access is governed by the court-access rules and local policies, including Ohio Sup.R. 11.09-11.14; the Ohio Public Records Act also addresses public-record inspection and copies. Neither law converts visitor data into a court record or consumer report.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside providers operate the search boxes. Information entered there is subject to the provider's privacy terms, retention choices, and sharing practices, which this website does not control.

Links to Other Websites

Links to courts, clerks, and other resources leave this website. The destination's privacy policy controls information provided there. Advertising partners may conduct their own cross-site activity tracking.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. It may be processed by search partners, analytics providers, advertising networks, or government authorities when a valid legal requirement applies.

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Users Under 18

This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. Information believed to have been provided by a minor may be removed.

Your Data Rights

Applicable law may give a visitor rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or limits on processing of personal information held by this website. Those rights concern visitor information and do not change access to Cuyahoga County court records, which is governed by Ohio court rules and records law.

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. A revised version becomes effective when posted here.
