Privacy Policy

This page lays out what data we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and when it might be shared with others. Using any page on this website means you accept the practices described here.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A search term or case number entered into a third-party search widget is transmitted to the provider that operates that widget. The provider processes the query under its own policy. Harrison County Court Docket does not maintain a separate log of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email sent to this resource may be retained so a response can be provided. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.

Data We Gather Automatically

Normal web hosting collects technical visit information when a page loads, including:

  • 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 browser files used to understand aggregate traffic and page performance. Browser controls can block them, although some functions may respond differently. Analytics providers process their own data under their own terms.

What We Do With This Data

  • Operating, securing, and improving the resource
  • Passing a query to the selected partner service
  • Measuring aggregate page use and performance
  • Diagnosing technical problems
  • Displaying advertising that may be interest based

No Court-Record Data on File

This resource does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a Harrison County docket database or personal case-record database. It identifies public channels such as the Clerk of Courts, Harrison County Court, and their official CaseLook services. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports about other people.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate any search boxes shown here. Information entered in those tools is subject to the provider's privacy policy, retention practice, and sharing terms. Review the provider's policy before submitting a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to court, clerk, CaseLook, government, or third-party resources. A destination website controls privacy after a visitor leaves this site, so its policy should be reviewed before personal information is supplied.

Advertising providers may conduct cross-site activity measurement on their own systems to deliver interest-based advertising.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold by this resource. Limited information can be processed by:

  • Search providers that receive a submitted query
  • Analytics services used for traffic measurement
  • Advertising networks that serve page ads
  • Government bodies when a valid legal demand requires disclosure

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable safeguards are used for information collected through the resource. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed entirely secure, so absolute protection against an unauthorized event cannot be promised.

Users Under 18

This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Contact the organization if you believe a minor has provided information so the matter can be addressed.

Your Data Rights

Applicable privacy rights can depend on a visitor's location and the service used. For court-record access, Ohio uses the Rules of Superintendence 44–47 and Ohio Revised Code 149.43, which govern public court-record access rather than this resource's visitor data. A visitor may still:

  • Ask about personal information retained after a direct contact
  • Request correction of inaccurate contact information
  • Request deletion when retention is not legally required
  • Use browser controls to limit cookies and certain processing

Updates to This Policy

This privacy policy may be revised as the resource or applicable practices change. The current version is posted here with its effective date.

Effective date: August 31, 2026
