Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, case number, or other term entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. Jay County Court Docket does not retain or record those query terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We may keep an email or contact submission long enough to review and answer it. Messages remain within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the website may automatically receive basic technical and usage details, including:
- Page-view dates and times
- Your device type and operating system
- The referring website, when one is available
- Your browser name and version
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- The internet protocol address assigned to your device
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on a device. They and analytics services help us measure traffic in aggregate, such as which pages receive visits and where sessions end. You may block cookies through your browser settings, although doing so can change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Directing a search request to the appropriate partner service
- Finding and correcting performance or technical problems
- Measuring which pages are useful and which need improvement
- Operating the website and keeping pages responsive
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Jay County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of dockets or personal case information. It provides general directions to records held by the Jay County Clerk of Circuit and Superior Courts, Jay Circuit Court, Jay Superior Court, and Indiana's MyCase system. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party profiles, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes that appear on this website. A partner's own privacy policy, retention terms, and sharing rules apply to information submitted through its tool. We do not control those practices, so review the applicable policy before running a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Jay County Clerk, Indiana court resources, MyCase, legal-aid organizations, or outside search services. Once you leave this website, the destination's policy controls its handling of data. Review that policy before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use activity across multiple websites to select ads. Any such tracking takes place through the provider's systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics providers that measure use and site performance
- Advertising networks that place ads on these pages
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools
- Government or law-enforcement authorities when a valid legal order compels disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use customary safeguards for information collected through the website. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, however, and we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under age 18. If we learn that a minor submitted such data, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Indiana law may provide rights that depend on where you live and the type of information involved. The Indiana Rules on Access to Court Records govern access to judicial records, while the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, Indiana Code 5-14-3, governs qualifying public-agency records. Those laws do not convert this private website into a public records custodian. You may:
- Request deletion of information we hold about you
- Ask to opt out of certain processing activities
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Ask for a copy of information we retain about you
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised in the future. Any new version will appear here with its current effective date, so revisit this page to review later changes.
Effective date: August 23, 2026
