Privacy Policy

This policy describes the visitor information collected through Montgomery County Court Docket, its uses, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. Continued use of the website signifies acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or case number entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. This site does not retain or log those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email may be retained long enough to answer and manage the correspondence. It remains within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

Loading a page can cause the servers to receive routine technical information about the visit:

  • 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 saved on a device. They and analytics services help measure aggregate traffic, popular pages, and navigation patterns. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some functions behave.

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

This site neither hosts nor sells a database of Montgomery County dockets or personal case records. Official files remain with Sondra Dittmer Sixberry, Clerk of the Circuit Court, and the active Montgomery courts; Indiana MyCase supplies public electronic summaries. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its retention and disclosure practices, so review those terms before searching.

Links to Other Websites

Links may open county clerk pages, court portals, statewide lookup systems, legal-aid resources, or commercial search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select targeted ads. This site does not operate that tracking.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:

  • 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 security measures protect collected information, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security or promise that a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. If such information is identified, a deletion request may be submitted.

Your Data Rights

Applicable law may provide additional rights concerning personal information. The Indiana Access to Public Records Act governs access to many government agency records, while the Indiana Rules on Access to Court Records govern judicial case access. Neither makes this private site the custodian of Montgomery County court files. Visitors 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

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. An updated version and effective date will be posted here when a change takes effect.

Effective date: August 23, 2026
