Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool goes to the outside provider that operates it. The provider processes the query under its own policy. We do not keep a site-side log of those terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Direct messages may be retained so we can answer them. They remain within our operation unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers may receive basic technical information when a page loads:
- 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 device files that help measure visits, page use, and exit patterns. Analytics services may combine that traffic information. Browser controls can block cookies, although some features may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of Porter County dockets or personal case information. The site identifies official routes such as Indiana Odyssey/MyCase, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, and the assigned trial court. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. A partner's privacy policy, retention terms, and sharing practices govern information submitted there. Review those terms before running a query because we do not control them.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to clerk pages, court systems, legal resources, and outside search services. Once opened, the destination's policy governs the visit. Check it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and select ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold by us. Limited information may be available to:
- 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 security practices are used for collected data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach-free service cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be removed when properly brought to our attention.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary under Indiana privacy and consumer-protection law. Indiana court records follow the Indiana Access to Court Records Rules, while the Access to Public Records Act recognizes judicial authority over court-record access. For information held by this private site, you may:
- 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. A new effective date will appear here when updated terms are posted.
Effective date: August 23, 2026
