Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a search tool is sent to the third party that operates that tool. The provider processes the name or case number and supplies its own results. Randolph County Court Docket does not keep or record those search terms on its systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. Messages are kept within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers may automatically receive basic technical and usage details:
- 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 files stored on a device. They and analytics services help aggregate traffic, reveal which pages are used, and show where visits end. Browser controls can block cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
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
Randolph County Court Docket does not host, build, maintain, or sell a database of court cases or personal court-record data. It publishes general directions to the Randolph County Circuit Clerk, Alabama trial courts, and official docket systems. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure practices apply to data entered there. Those practices are not controlled by this policy, so review the provider's terms before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Circuit Clerk, Alabama court portals, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a reader leaves this domain, the destination's own privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their systems to measure activity across sites and select ads. Their tracking does not run as a Randolph County court-record database.
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 safeguards are used for information under our control. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach or unauthorized access can never be ruled out completely.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Information identified as a minor's personal data will be removed when a valid request is received.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Alabama privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights over personal data. Separately, the Alabama Rules of Court-Record Privacy and Confidentiality govern access, redaction, and confidentiality for official judicial records held by courts, not visitor data held here. Subject to applicable 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. A new version becomes available here with an updated effective date so the current practices can be reviewed.
Effective date: August 13, 2026
