Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Custer County Court Docket does not retain or record those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within the operating team unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers may automatically receive basic technical and usage details such as:
- Page-view timestamps
- The referring site, when one is supplied
- Pages opened and approximate time spent on them
- Device category and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The device’s assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device to support usage measurement. They and analytics services help aggregate patterns such as popular pages and exit points. A browser can block or remove cookies, although parts of the site may then operate differently.
What We Do With This Data
Collected information is used only for ordinary site and service functions, including:
- Routing a query to the selected search partner
- Diagnosing errors and performance problems
- Measuring which reference pages are useful
- Maintaining reliable loading and availability
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Custer County Court Docket does not host, sell, maintain, or compile a database of court files or personal case information. It publishes directions to the Colorado Judicial Branch Docket Search and the Clerk of Court at Custer Combined Court. Colorado court-case access is governed chiefly by Chief Justice Directive 05-01, while the Colorado Open Records Act generally concerns government records and should not be treated as the direct access rule for every case filing. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted to one of those tools is handled under that company’s privacy policy, retention rules, and sharing practices, which Custer County Court Docket does not control. Review the provider’s policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Clerk of Court, Colorado Judicial Branch systems, legal-aid resources, or third-party services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy terms govern. Those terms should be reviewed before personal details are supplied.
Advertising providers may also use their own technology to measure activity across sites and select targeted ads. That processing occurs on provider systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be received by the following limited categories:
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
- Advertising networks serving content on the pages
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a query submitted to their tool
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect information in our control. No internet service can promise absolute security, however, and this policy does not guarantee that a breach can never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If such information is identified, it will be removed as required.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Colorado privacy and consumer-protection law may provide additional rights over personal data. Subject to the law and any verified-request requirements, a person may:
- Opt out of processing where the law grants that choice
- Request deletion of qualifying personal information
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Request access to qualifying information held about them
