Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Text entered into a third-party search box is handled by the provider operating that box. Genesee County Court Docket does not maintain a separate log of the names or case identifiers entered through that provider.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email message sent to the resource may be retained to respond or administer the request. It is not sold or shared outside the organization except where a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Normal web operation can collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, pages viewed, and date or time of access. This information supports delivery, security, and measurement of the resource.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics services may be used to understand aggregate use. Browser controls can limit cookies, although some functions may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and voluntary information may be used to operate the resource, measure page performance, prevent misuse, respond to a message, and improve the clarity of court-access information. It is not used to create a consumer report or a database about another person.
No Court-Record Data on File
Genesee County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell official case files or a court-docket database. The resource explains where Genesee County records can be searched or requested. Court record access is governed by the court of record and Michigan Court Rule 8.119, while Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq., is not an automatic route to a judicial case file.
Third-Party Search Partners
An outside provider may process information supplied to its search function under that provider's own privacy policy, retention practices, and terms. Review those terms before submitting a query. Genesee County Court Docket does not control that provider's data handling or results.
Links to Other Websites
Links to courts, clerks, state portals, municipal sources, and other websites lead to services with their own privacy practices. Those practices apply after leaving this resource. Advertising partners may also use their own technology to measure activity or deliver advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information can be handled by hosting, analytics, email, search-provider, or legal-compliance service providers when necessary to operate the resource or comply with law.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information under this resource's control. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so users should avoid placing sensitive personal identifiers into forms that do not require them.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. Court materials involving minors can also be restricted under Michigan court rules and should not be submitted to a third-party search tool.
Your Data Rights
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, a visitor may have rights concerning information held about that visitor. Michigan court-record access is controlled by court rules and orders, including MCR 8.119 and privacy protections in MCR 1.109(F); it is distinct from a request about website data.
- Ask what personal information is held about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information where appropriate.
- Ask about deletion where retention is not legally required.
- Use browser settings to limit cookies.
