Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
If a visitor enters a name or case number into a search tool, the input is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and returns its result. Coweta County Court Docket does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other contact message is retained so a reply can be sent. Messages stay with the site's team and are not shared outside that team unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, ordinary technical details about the visit may be received by the site's servers, including:
- 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 files placed on a device to help measure how visitors use the site, such as which pages draw visits or where a session ends. Analytics services may aggregate those patterns. Browser settings can block cookies, although some site features may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Maintaining site operation, speed, and reliability
- Passing a search request to the provider selected for that tool
- Measuring which pages are useful and where improvements are needed
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Serving advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Coweta County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case records. It provides general routing information about the State and Superior clerks, lower courts, municipal courts, federal systems, and records-request channels. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case records.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes that may appear on the site. Information entered into one of those tools is handled under the provider's privacy policy rather than this one. Each partner decides its retention and sharing practices. Review that policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to Coweta clerk pages, trial-court portals, Georgia judicial resources, legal aid organizations, and outside search tools. Following one leaves this site, and the linked service's privacy policy then controls the visit. Review it before sharing personal information.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different sites for ad delivery. That tracking occurs on their systems, not on this site's own servers.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:
- The search partner that processes a submitted query
- Analytics services that measure traffic and site performance
- Advertising networks that place ads on pages
- Law enforcement or another government body when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information collected by the site. No internet-connected system is completely secure, so no promise can be made that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor's information was submitted, contact the site so it can be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable privacy and consumer-protection law may provide additional rights. For county-held public records, the Georgia Open Records Act, including O.C.G.A. §§50-18-71 and 50-18-72, supplies the access and exemption framework described by Coweta's request portal. At a minimum, a visitor 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
This policy may be revised as site practices change. A revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. The latest posted text controls future visits.
Effective date: August 21, 2026
