Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name or case number into a sponsored search tool, the query is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. Perquimans County Court Docket does not maintain a local log or database of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends a message through an available contact channel, the message may be retained to respond and administer the request. It is not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most web services, the site can receive technical information associated with a visit.
- The IP address associated with the device
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring site, when one is supplied
- Visit timestamps
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics tools can help measure traffic, performance, and page use. Browser settings may block cookies, although some functions may then work differently. Analytics is used in aggregate form to understand site operation and visitor activity.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and visitor information may be used to operate and improve the resource.
- Maintain site availability and performance
- Send a search request to the selected sponsored service
- Assess which content is useful or needs revision
- Diagnose and correct technical problems
- Serve advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Perquimans County Court Docket does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a database of court dockets, case files, or personal case-record information. The Perquimans County Clerk of Superior Court is the local custodian for Superior Court and District Court files. The North Carolina eCourts Portal is an official access route for eligible public Case Summary and Register of Actions information, but it does not make this private resource a record custodian. Information collected from visitors is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Sponsored search tools are operated by outside providers. Information entered into one of those tools is subject to that provider's privacy policy, retention rules, and data-sharing practices. Review those terms before submitting a query. An outside search partner is not an official custodian of a Perquimans County court file.
Links to Other Websites
Links may direct visitors to North Carolina court, Clerk, Portal, municipal, or other external resources. A visitor who follows an outbound link is governed by the destination's privacy practices. Review those policies before providing personal information.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for targeted advertising. Any such tracking is controlled by those providers rather than by Perquimans County Court Docket.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Information may be available to the following recipients where necessary for the stated purposes or required by law.
- Search providers that process a query selected by the visitor
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that deliver advertisements
- Government or law-enforcement authorities responding to a valid legal requirement
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security measures are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security, so visitors should avoid sending sensitive information through an unverified channel.
Users Under 18
The resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a minor's information is believed to have been provided, a request for removal may be submitted through an available contact channel.
Your Data Rights
North Carolina Public Records Law, including G.S. 132-1 and G.S. 132-6.2, governs access to public government records. G.S. 7A-109 addresses clerk-held court dockets and indexes. Those laws do not make this private resource the custodian of a Perquimans County case file. Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy or consumer-protection law may provide additional rights. A visitor may also:
- Ask what personal information is held in connection with a direct communication
- Request correction of inaccurate direct-contact information
- Request deletion of direct-contact information when retention is not legally required
- Ask to opt out of certain data processing where that option applies
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. The revised policy becomes effective when posted with its updated effective date.
