Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a third-party search tool is sent to the company operating that tool and is handled under its policy. Person County Court Docket does not maintain a database of those submitted terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained to respond or manage the message. It is not disclosed outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, the service may receive technical information 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 traffic and site performance. Browser controls can limit cookies, although features supplied by an outside 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
Person County Court Docket does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a court-record database. It links to the Person County Clerk, trial-court resources, and the eCourts Portal. Court-record access is governed by G.S. 7A-109, with the North Carolina public-record baseline in G.S. 132-1. The site is not a consumer reporting agency, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports about third parties.
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
Throughout the site we link to clerk of court pages, trial court portals, statewide case-search systems, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any personal details.
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
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy or consumer-protection law can provide additional rights. Requests about information held by this private site may include:
- 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 as site practices change. A revised version will be posted here with its effective date.
Effective date: August 31, 2026
