Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search box is passed to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request under its own policy. This private reference does not maintain a log of the query entered here.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email message may be retained long enough to respond and administer the correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization except where a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, basic technical information may be recorded for operations and security:
- 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 files stored by a browser. They may support aggregate traffic analysis, such as identifying commonly visited pages and technical problems. Browser settings can block cookies, although that choice can change how parts of the site work.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating, securing, and improving site performance
- Passing a submitted search to the applicable partner tool
- Understanding aggregate use of the reference pages
- Diagnosing and correcting technical faults
- Delivering advertising that may be interest-based
No Court-Record Data on File
This site does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case records. It identifies official channels for Pettis County records, including the Circuit Court of the 18th Judicial Circuit, the Pettis County Circuit Clerk, and Missouri Case.net. Court-record access is governed by Missouri court rules and applicable law, including the Missouri Sunshine Law context in RSMo ยงยง610.022 and 610.026; those rules do not make this private reference a record custodian. No visitor data is assembled into a consumer report or a record about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. A query entered there is controlled by the partner's privacy policy and retention practices, not by this policy. Review the applicable policy before sending information through a partner tool.
Links to Other Websites
Links to court, clerk, Case.net, legal-aid, and partner services take a visitor to independently operated sites. Their policies govern activity after the link is opened. Check those policies before sharing personal information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and provide interest-based advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:
- 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 safeguards are used for the information collected. No internet service can promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact the site if a minor may have sent personal information so the issue can be reviewed.
Your Data Rights
Missouri law may provide rights or remedies that apply to a particular interaction. Requests about official court records should go to the record custodian under the court rules and access limits, rather than to this private reference. A visitor may also:
- 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 as practices or legal requirements change. The revised policy will appear here with its effective date.
