Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Text entered in a search widget is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request under its own terms and privacy policy. Chaffee County Court Docket does not keep a local log of names or case numbers typed into a partner widget.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends a message by email, the message and contact details may be retained long enough to respond and maintain ordinary business records. They are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Normal server and analytics records may collect technical details when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent
- Referring page or service, when supplied
- Date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics tools help measure traffic, page performance, and broad patterns of use. A browser can block or remove cookies. Some features may then work differently. Analytics reports are used to understand aggregate use, not to build a court-case profile about a visitor.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate, secure, and improve page performance
- Route a widget request to the selected partner
- Measure which reference pages are useful
- Find errors, abuse, or technical faults
- Support advertising where it is displayed
No Court-Record Data on File
Chaffee County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell official case files or docket databases. Colorado court case records are governed chiefly by Chief Justice Directive 05-01 and remain with the Judicial Branch. Chapter 38 Rule 2 and the Colorado Open Records Act provisions at C.R.S. ยงยง24-72-200.1 through 24-72-206 concern public or Judicial Branch administrative records, not personal data held by this private website. Those public-record rules do not turn this site into a government custodian.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the search widgets. A partner may have different retention, pricing, sharing, and security practices. Review the policy shown by that company before sending a query. Chaffee County Court Docket does not control the partner's systems or results.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Chaffee Combined Court, Colorado Judicial Branch, municipal courts, public agencies, or private services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's policy governs the visit. Advertising providers may also use their own technology to measure activity across sites.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be processed by:
- Search providers that receive a query
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information within the site's control. No online service can guarantee perfect security. Transmission and storage therefore carry some risk despite those safeguards.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly seek personal information from children. If information from a person under 18 is identified, a deletion request may be made through the available contact route.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary with the law that applies to a visitor and the data involved. A person may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information held by this private site, or object to certain processing where applicable.
- Request a copy of personal data held about you
- Ask that inaccurate data be corrected
- Seek deletion when the law permits it
- Object to or opt out of eligible processing
