Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name or case number into a search tool shown here, the query goes to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and returns any result. We do not maintain a separate log or database of the entered search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email, we retain the message so that we can respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, our servers receive technical visit information when a page loads.
- The IP address assigned to the visiting device
- The browser and its version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- The referring site, when one is supplied
- Time stamps for page views
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on a device. We use them and analytics services to understand aggregate traffic, such as pages that receive visits or points where visitors leave. Browser controls may block cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
We use technical and submitted information only for operating and improving the resource and its services.
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Directing a submitted search request to the selected partner service
- Understanding which resource pages are useful or need improvement
- Investigating and correcting technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may be based on interests
No Court-Record Data on File
This resource does not host, maintain, compile, or sell databases of Adams County court dockets or personal case-record information. It publishes general location and access information for records held by the Adams County Clerk of Courts and local court divisions. Covered Ohio court records are governed by Rules of Superintendence 44 through 47, not the Ohio Public Records Act. A court-specific CaseLook result is not a certified record, and an official copy comes from the office that keeps the case.
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party records.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes are supplied by outside companies. Information entered into one is subject to that provider’s privacy policy, data-retention practices, and sharing rules. We do not control those practices, so review the provider’s policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
This resource links to court, clerk, and other external sources. When you follow a link, the receiving website’s privacy policy governs that visit. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising partners may track activity across websites in order to serve interest-based advertising. Their systems, rather than ours, perform that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information can be available to the following service categories:
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools
- Analytics providers used to measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place advertisements on these pages
- Law-enforcement or government entities when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard safeguards intended to protect collected information. Internet-connected services cannot guarantee complete security, so no promise is made that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information to us, contact us so the information can be removed.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, privacy and consumer-protection law may provide additional rights. At a minimum, you may:
- Request a copy of information we retain about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Opt out of certain data-processing activities where that right applies
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy. Any revision will appear here with a new effective date, so revisit this page if you want to review the current version.
Effective date: August 31, 2026
