Privacy Policy

This policy describes visitor data, the use of third-party tools, and the limits of this private Shelby County court-record reference resource. Use of the website is subject to these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

Search terms entered in a site search tool are sent to that tool's provider. The resource does not keep a separate log of those queries.

Messages and Contact Submissions

Email messages are retained to respond and are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.

Data We Gather Automatically

Website operation can collect technical visit information, including IP address, browser and device details, pages viewed, referring site, and timestamps.

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies and analytics may measure traffic and site performance. Browser controls may limit cookies, although some functions can then work differently.

What We Do With This Data

  • Operate, secure, and improve the site.
  • Route a search to its provider.
  • Measure performance and diagnose technical problems.
  • Support advertising that may be interest based.

No Court-Record Data on File

The resource does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a database of Shelby County court files or personal case records. It points to Case.net, the Missouri Circuit Court, 41st Judicial Circuit, Shelby County, and the Circuit Clerk. Court-record access is governed by court rules and applicable Missouri law, including Missouri § 610.026 for copying and search-cost limits; it is not a generic state privacy-record portal.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside search providers apply their own privacy, retention, and sharing terms to data submitted to their tools. Review their policy before submitting a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links to Case.net, the Circuit Clerk, Missouri Courts, or another outside resource leave this website. The receiving site's privacy terms govern that visit. Advertising partners can perform their own cross-site tracking.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Search providers, analytics services, advertising networks, and government bodies responding to a valid legal order may receive applicable information.

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet system can guarantee complete security or prevent every breach.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. Contact the organization if a minor's data was submitted.

Your Data Rights

Visitors may ask for access to, correction of, deletion of, or limits on processing of personal data held by the resource, subject to applicable law and legitimate obligations. Missouri court-record access rules, including Court Operating Rule 4 and § 610.026, govern public court-record questions separately from visitor privacy requests.

Updates to This Policy

This policy may change. A revised version becomes effective when posted.
