Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its result. We do not retain or log those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to answer it. Messages remain within the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page can cause the server to receive basic technical details:
- 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. They help measure which pages receive visits and where a session ends. Analytics providers combine that traffic information. A browser can block cookies, although disabling them may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Maintaining site availability and speed
- Routing a query to the selected search partner
- Measuring which content is useful
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect user interests
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of Paulding County dockets or personal case information. The site provides general directions to Sheila Butler's Superior and State Court clerk office, other Paulding County courts, and Georgia case-access routes. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party records.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and sharing practices govern information submitted to them. We do not control those practices, so review a provider's policy before searching.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to clerk pages, court portals, Georgia access systems, legal-aid resources, and outside search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before submitting personal details.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available 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 standard safeguards protect collected data. No internet system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be deleted when appropriately reported.
Your Data Rights
Privacy and consumer-protection rights can differ based on where a user lives. The Georgia Open Records Act governs requests to Georgia public agencies, while court-file access may also be controlled by Uniform Superior Court Rule 21 and Georgia Model Rule 36.16. Those rules do not convert this private site into a government custodian. With respect to data we control, you 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. A new version becomes available here with its updated effective date, so users should review the page periodically.
Effective date: August 21, 2026
