Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Search terms entered into an embedded tool are sent to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Mills County Court Docket does not keep or log those submitted terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
A message sent by email may be retained so a response can be provided. It is not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Technical information may be collected when a page loads.
- The device's IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time of each view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on a device. They support traffic analysis, including which pages receive visits and where sessions end. Analytics services may aggregate those observations. Browser controls can block cookies, although some functions may then operate differently.
What We Do With This Data
Collected information is used only for ordinary website operations.
- Maintaining performance and availability
- Passing a search request to the selected provider
- Understanding which material visitors use
- Diagnosing errors and security problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Mills County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of Mills County cases or personal court-record data. It publishes general directions to the District Clerk, County Clerk, 35th District Court, Justice Court, and official Texas access systems. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power search boxes shown on some content pages. Information submitted through a tool is governed by that provider's privacy policy, retention practices, and sharing rules. Review those terms before sending a query because Mills County Court Docket cannot control the provider's systems.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Mills County offices, Texas courts, re:SearchTX, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy terms apply. Review them before supplying personal data.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to follow activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs through their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited information may be received by:
- Search providers handling a submitted query
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks placing ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information under the website's control. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach or unauthorized access can never be ruled out completely.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be removed when a valid request establishes the issue.
Your Data Rights
Depending on the governing law and the request, a visitor may have rights concerning personal data held by this private website. The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, and Texas Rule of Judicial Administration 12 address official public-body and judicial records within their respective scopes. They do not convert this private resource into a government records custodian.
Rights that may apply include the ability to:
- Request a copy of personal data held about the requester
- Seek correction of inaccurate personal data
- Ask for deletion where the law permits it
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as website practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes available here with a new effective date.
