Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, case number, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its result. Rockdale County Court Docket does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
A message sent by email may be retained so a response can be provided. It is not shared beyond the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, routine technical logs may capture:
- The visiting device's IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and time spent
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time of each visit
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files that support traffic measurement and help show which pages visitors use. Analytics providers may aggregate that usage data. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how parts of the website function.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate, maintain, and improve page performance
- Send a submitted search to the selected partner
- Understand which resources visitors use
- Diagnose security or technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect user interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Rockdale County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of case files, dockets, or personal court-record information. It publishes reference material about the Rockdale County Clerk of Superior and State Courts, the Superior Court of the Rockdale Judicial Circuit, lower-court clerks, and public access channels. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information entered there is governed by the provider's privacy policy, retention rules, and sharing practices, not solely by this policy. Review those terms before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Rockdale County offices, Georgia courts, re:SearchGA, legal resources, or commercial search services. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination's privacy terms control. Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity or personalize ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:
- Search providers that process a submitted query
- Analytics vendors measuring use and performance
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under a valid legal requirement
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, customary security measures are used to protect collected information. No internet service can guarantee complete security, so a breach or unauthorized access cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Data known to have been submitted by a minor will be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Georgia privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights based on the person, data, and context. The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. ยงยง 50-18-70 through 50-18-72, concerns qualifying government records and does not convert this private website into a government records custodian. Judicial records follow court-specific statutes, rules, sealing orders, and clerk procedures rather than Rockdale County's administrative JustFOIA route. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request access to personal data held by the site
- Ask that inaccurate data be corrected
- Request deletion of eligible information
- Opt out of certain processing where a legal right applies
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A new version becomes available here with an updated effective date.
