Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information connected with a visit to this private Allen County court-reference resource, how that information is handled, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. Continued use reflects acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A query entered in a displayed search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query under its own terms. This resource does not maintain a local log or database of the search terms submitted through that provider.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email sent to the operator may be retained to respond or manage the request. It is not sold or released outside the organization except where disclosure is legally required.

Data We Gather Automatically

Like most websites, the service can receive routine technical details when a page loads:

  • 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 and analytics may be used to understand aggregate traffic and performance. Browser settings can limit cookies, although parts of the service 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

This resource does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a database of Allen County court dockets or personal case information. It provides routing information for the court-specific custodians that hold official records. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or profiles about other people.

Third-Party Search Partners

Search boxes on this site are powered by outside companies. Anything you enter into those tools is processed under the partner's own privacy policy, not this one. Those partners set their own data-retention and sharing practices, and we do not control them. Review the partner's policy before submitting a search.

Links to Other Websites

Links can lead to clerk offices, court portals, Ohio judiciary materials, and third-party services. Each outside destination applies its own privacy terms, so review those terms before providing any personal information.

Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.

Who Might See Your Data

We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:

  • 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

We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. But nothing connected to the internet is bulletproof. We do what we can to keep your information secure, though we cannot promise a breach will never happen.

Users Under 18

This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has shared data with us, reach out and we'll delete it right away.

Your Data Rights

Court-record access discussed elsewhere on this resource is governed in Ohio by the Ohio Public Records Act, Ohio Revised Code section 149.43, and Ohio Rules of Superintendence 44 through 47. Those record-access rules do not replace the privacy rights that may apply to data held by this private service. At a minimum, you can:

  • 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 change as the service changes. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date.

Effective date: August 31, 2026
