Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and returns its results. We do not keep a separate log or database of the terms entered through those boxes.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When someone emails us, we retain the message as needed to answer it. We keep that correspondence within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive ordinary technical 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 files placed on a device. We and our analytics services use them to understand aggregate traffic, such as which Washington County docket pages are visited and where visits end. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating, securing, and improving site performance
- Routing a search request to the selected partner
- Measuring which pages are useful to visitors
- Diagnosing faults and other technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect user interests
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of Washington County court dockets or personal case records. The site describes how to reach Search ARCourts, the Washington County Circuit Clerk, the County Clerk, and District Court clerks. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes that appear on some pages. A partner's privacy policy governs information submitted through its tool. We do not control that company's retention, disclosure, coverage, or pricing, so review its policy before searching.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Arkansas Judiciary, Washington County offices, District Courts, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. We do not operate those systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be disclosed 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 security practices are used to protect data in our control. No internet service can promise absolute security, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will take steps to delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights concerning personal data depend on the law that applies where a visitor lives. Arkansas Supreme Court Administrative Order 19 governs access to court records, while the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, Ark. Code Ann. ยง25-19-105, may apply to judicial administrative records outside that order. Those public-record rules do not turn this private site into a court custodian. 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 as practices or legal duties change. The current version and its effective date will appear on this page.
