Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name or case number into a search tool, the query is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. That provider processes the query under its own practices. Harrison County Court Docket does not keep or log those search terms in its own records.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we retain the message and related contact details so that we can respond and manage the communication. We do not disclose that information outside our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers and service providers may collect technical information generated when a page is requested. This information can include:
- The IP address associated with the visit
- Browser version, device type, and operating system
- Pages viewed and the approximate time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is provided
- Timestamps associated with page requests
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. We and analytics providers may use them to understand traffic patterns and site performance. Browser settings can limit or block cookies, although some site features may then operate differently.
What We Do With This Data
Information collected through the site may be used to operate and protect the service, route a submitted search to the applicable provider, improve pages and performance, diagnose technical issues, and support advertising that may be interest-based.
- Maintain the availability and security of the site
- Measure traffic and page performance
- Respond to communications sent to us
- Help identify technical errors or misuse
- Support advertising delivered through service providers
No Court-Record Data on File
Harrison County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case records. The site provides general direction to the Harrison County Circuit Clerk, other court custodians, Mississippi Electronic Courts, and official court resources. Judicial-record access follows the Mississippi judiciary openness policy, MEC/PAMEC court-record procedures, applicable court rules, and any sealing or redaction order. For requests to a local public body, Mississippi Code §§ 25-61-5 and 25-61-7 address access procedures and actual reproduction costs; they do not displace a court-specific restriction. The site is not a consumer reporting agency and does not create consumer reports about visitors or third parties.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes and linked services may be operated by independent companies. Information entered into those services is governed by their terms and privacy policies, including their retention and sharing practices. We do not control those systems and encourage visitors to review the provider’s own policy before submitting information.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to official clerk pages, court portals, PAMEC/MEC resources, and other outside websites. When you follow a link, the destination’s privacy policy applies to that visit. Harrison County Court Docket does not control another site’s availability, collection practices, or content.
Advertising providers may collect information across websites to deliver or measure ads. That activity is governed by the provider’s own policies, not this policy.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be disclosed to the following categories when needed for the stated purpose or when legally required:
- Search providers that receive a query you submit
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that serve ads on the site
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for the information we collect. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, and we cannot promise that an unauthorized access event will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If we learn that a minor provided information directly to us, we will take reasonable steps to remove it from our records.
Your Data Rights
Harrison County Court Docket does not rely on an invented Mississippi privacy statute for visitor rights. You may ask about personal information you provided directly to us, request correction of inaccurate contact information, ask that information be deleted where appropriate, or ask about particular processing. Mississippi court-record access is a separate issue. It follows the judiciary policy, MEC/PAMEC court-record procedures, and the applicable court rule or order rather than this visitor-data policy.
- Request a copy of directly supplied information held by us
- Ask us to correct inaccurate contact information
- Request deletion where retention is not required
- Ask about the use of directly supplied information
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy as our practices or services change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here. Checking this page periodically is the best way to review the current policy.
