Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool is transmitted to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Island County Court Docket does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, the message may be kept long enough to answer and manage the correspondence. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Standard technical information may be recorded when a page loads:
- Your device's Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that support traffic measurement and site functions. Analytics providers may aggregate information about popular pages, navigation, and exits. Browser controls can block cookies, although some site functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate, maintain, and improve site performance
- Send a submitted search to the selected partner
- Measure which resources visitors use
- Diagnose faults and security issues
- Present advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Island County Court Docket does not host, sell, maintain, or compile a database of case records or personal docket information. It publishes directions to Island County Superior Court, District/Municipal Court, the County Clerk, and Washington search systems. Visitor information 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 businesses operate the search boxes found on content pages. Their own privacy notices control any input submitted to them, including retention and disclosure. Review the provider's policy before starting a search because Island County Court Docket does not control those practices.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Island County Clerk, courts, Washington case portals, legal-aid resources, or private search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to recognize activity across sites and select ads. That processing occurs on their systems rather than ours.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed to:
- Search providers processing a query
- Analytics vendors measuring site traffic
- Advertising networks serving site ads
- Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used security measures protect information under our control. No internet service can promise absolute security, so a breach or unauthorized access can never be ruled out completely.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If information from a minor is identified, it may be deleted promptly.
Your Data Rights
Rights can differ by residence and applicable Washington privacy or consumer-protection law. Washington's Public Records Act, chapter 42.56 RCW, concerns government records, while court-case access is principally governed by General Rule 31. Neither rule converts this private site into a court-record custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request access to personal information held about you
- Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected
- Seek deletion of eligible information
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may be revised. A new version becomes available on this page with a changed effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
