Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that feature. The provider processes the terms and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or direct message as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive basic technical information whenever a visitor loads a page:
- Page-view dates and times
- Visited pages and time spent on them
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- Referring website, when available
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on a device. They and analytics services help us measure aggregate use, such as popular pages and where visits end. Browser controls can block cookies, though disabling them may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Directing a query to the selected partner service
- Maintaining reliable and responsive pages
- Finding and repairing technical problems
- Measuring which resources visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Sevier County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of personal case records. It identifies the Circuit Court Clerk, General Sessions Clerk, Clerk & Master, and appellate case-history route that may hold official information. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or a third-party record, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Independent companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention rules, and sharing practices apply to submitted information. We do not control those choices, so review the provider's policy before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Sevier County clerks, Tennessee courts, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to track activity across websites for targeted ads.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. It may be disclosed 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
Standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet service can promise absolute security, however, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has supplied information, contact us so it can be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Tennessee privacy and consumer-protection law may provide additional rights. The Tennessee Public Records Act and Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 34 govern public and court records held by government custodians, not visitor data held by this private site. At a minimum, you can:
- 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
We may revise this policy. A revised version will be posted here with its current effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
Effective date: September 7, 2026
