Information We Automatically Collect.

Like many website operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Website.

This includes Log Data, such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, pages visited, time and date of your visit, time spent on pages and other statistics, and whether you reached our page via a social media or email campaign. This information may be collected via cookies, web beacons, clear GIFs, canvas fingerprinting and other means, such as Google Remarketing and Facebook Pixel.

You can control cookies in your browser to enable or disable them.

Information We Collect From Third Parties.

If you access our Website through third parties, such as Facebook or Google, or share content from our Website to a third-party social media service, that service may send us information about you, subject to its policies and your account settings.

How Do We Use Personal Information?

We may use your personal information to provide platform services, including online case access, juror services, traffic tickets, and alerts about court-related matters; analyze Website usage and improve services; plan projects and troubleshoot problems; provide employment opportunities; and detect and protect against errors, fraud, or other criminal activity.

How Do We Share Personal Information?

Affiliates and Service Providers.

We share your information with third-party service providers and subcontractors as required to offer our services.

Third-Party Links and Websites.

Our Website may contain links to and from third-party websites. Those websites have their own privacy policies, and we accept no responsibility or liability for them. Please review their policies before submitting data.

Because we do not control linked websites, we are not responsible for information on those websites or changes to their content.

Disclosures Required by Law.

We may disclose data in response to lawful requests by public authorities or to comply with legal obligations, enforce agreements, protect our rights, property, or safety, protect others, or prevent fraud.

How Do We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals?

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals because the Internet industry is still working toward a common definition and response.

Confidentiality and Security

We strictly limit access to personal information to employees who reasonably need it to assist you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect personal information. Except as stated here, we do not provide it to other public or private organizations for commercial purposes or otherwise. If you communicate a threat or promote unlawful activity, the court may share that communication with law enforcement.

No website, application, or transmission can guarantee security. Although safeguards are maintained, we cannot ensure the security of information you transmit to us.

Cookies

We sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Cookies help the Website remember actions and preferences, such as login settings, so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit.

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics only to improve this Website and do not combine its information with personally identifiable information. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for more information. You may also use Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Policy Changes

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. Please review it periodically for the most current version.

Questions, Comments, E-mail

We appreciate questions or comments about this privacy policy or our Website, although we cannot respond to each one. You may address questions or comments about our Website to our Webmaster. Any email should be submitted through your email service provider; email cannot be submitted directly through this Website. If you voluntarily provide personal information in an email, that communication becomes the property of the court for all purposes and without restriction on use.
