Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The partner processes the terms and supplies its own results. Towns County Court Docket does not retain those names or case numbers in a local search log.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message may be kept long enough to review and answer it. Such correspondence is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Site servers may receive routine technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view dates and timestamps
- The referring site, when one is supplied
- Browser family and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages opened and approximate visit duration
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved by a browser. They and analytics services help measure aggregate traffic, such as popular pages and exit points. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although disabling them may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating, securing, and improving site performance
- Routing a search to the selected third-party provider
- Measuring which reference pages visitors use
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Towns County Court Docket does not host, compile, sell, or maintain an official court-record database. It publishes routing information for records held by Eric Barrett, Clerk of Superior Court, the Superior Court of Towns County, lower court clerks, and official search providers. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the search tools. A partner's privacy policy, retention rules, and sharing practices apply to information submitted in its box. Those practices are beyond this site's control, so review the displayed partner terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Towns County clerk, Georgia court portals, legal resources, and outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy terms govern. Check those terms before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to recognize activity across sites and select ads. Their systems, not Towns County Court Docket, control that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- A search partner processing a query submitted to its tool
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks serving ads on site pages
- A government body or law-enforcement agency acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable safeguards are used for information under the site's control. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, however, and absolute protection against unauthorized access cannot be guaranteed.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A verified report that a minor supplied such data will be reviewed for deletion.
Your Data Rights
Applicable law may provide rights concerning personal information held by this private site. These visitor-data rights are separate from access to a Towns County court file. The Georgia Attorney General explains that courts are not governed by the Georgia Open Records Act as ordinary agencies. Public access to Superior Court of Towns County files instead follows Uniform Superior Court Rule 21, with Rule 21.6 addressing protected identifiers and redaction. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request access to personal information held by this site
- Ask that inaccurate visitor information be corrected
- Seek deletion when the law permits it
- Opt out of eligible types of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes available here with an updated effective date.
Effective date: August 21, 2026
