Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered into a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates it. That company processes the query and delivers its result. La Plata County Court Docket does not retain or log the submitted terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the related exchange. It remains within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Page requests can create routine technical logs containing:
- 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 device files used to understand aggregate traffic, popular pages, and where visits end. Analytics providers assist with those measurements. Browser controls can block cookies, though parts of the service may then act differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating, securing, and improving page performance
- Routing a submitted query to the selected search provider
- Measuring which reference pages are useful
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Serving advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
La Plata County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of case records. It publishes reference material about the Combined Courts clerk, municipal clerks, and official Colorado access channels. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report or a file about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and sharing choices govern data submitted to them. Review the selected provider's policy before running a query because this policy does not control that processing.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Colorado courts, local clerks, public portals, legal resources, or outside search tools. The destination's own policy applies after leaving this site. Read it before sending personal data.
Advertising providers may use their systems to measure activity across websites and select ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information 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 measures protect collected information. No internet system can guarantee perfect security, so a breach cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be deleted when a valid request is received.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights beyond this policy. Colorado's public court records are governed separately by CJD 05-01, while the Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. ยงยง24-72-200.1 through 206, addresses many government records. Neither law turns this private site into the custodian of a La Plata County court file. 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. A changed version will appear here with its new effective date.
