Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor submits a name or case number through a search feature, the outside operator receives and processes that query. Wayne County Court Docket does not retain or record the terms entered into that provider's tool.
Messages and Contact Submissions
A message may be kept long enough to respond and manage the communication. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics logs may collect technical details 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 page use, traffic patterns, and where visits end. Analytics providers may combine those observations into aggregate reports. A browser can reject or remove 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
Wayne County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of case records. It publishes general directions to PeachCourt, Frances B. Yeargan's office, and the separate Wayne County courts that keep original records. The site is 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 search features. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and sharing rules govern information submitted to them, and those practices are beyond this site's control. Read the provider's policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Frances B. Yeargan's Clerk of Court pages, PeachCourt, Georgia court resources, legal-aid organizations, or commercial tools. The destination's privacy policy applies after a visitor leaves this website. Review it before providing personal details.
Advertising providers may use their systems to recognize activity across websites and tailor ads.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- 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 administrative and technical safeguards are used for collected data. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so absolute protection cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Notice of such information may lead to its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Georgia or federal privacy and consumer-protection law may provide additional rights. The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq., governs requests directed to public custodians; Uniform Superior Court Rule 21 addresses public access and sealing for Superior Court records. Neither authority makes this private website a government records office. Subject to applicable law, a user 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
