Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered into a site search tool is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies any result. This resource does not retain or log those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained so a response can be provided. It is kept within the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, servers can receive routine technical details about that visit:
- The device's assigned IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate visit duration
- A referring site, when one is supplied
- Page-view timestamps
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device that help measure use of the resource, such as traffic patterns and page exits. Analytics services aggregate that activity. Browser settings can block cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating, maintaining, and improving page performance
- Routing a query to the applicable partner service
- Evaluating which material is useful or needs work
- Diagnosing and resolving technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may be interest-based
No Court-Record Data on File
This resource does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of court dockets or individual case records. It identifies where Butler County dockets and records are maintained by the Circuit Clerk, Missouri Circuit Court, and Missouri Case.net. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports about third parties.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted to one of those tools is subject to that provider's privacy policy, retention practices, and sharing rules. Review the provider's policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links can take visitors to clerk pages, court portals, Missouri Case.net, legal-aid resources, or outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this resource, the other service's privacy policy governs that visit. Review it before sharing personal information.
Some advertising partners may track activity across services to deliver targeted advertising. That tracking occurs in their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information can be received by:
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Ad networks placing advertising on pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected information. Internet-connected systems cannot be made entirely risk-free, and a breach-free outcome cannot be guaranteed.
Users Under 18
The resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a minor's information may have been submitted, contact us so it can be removed promptly.
Your Data Rights
For court records, Missouri Court Operating Rule 4 and RSMo §610.023 govern important access and request procedures, rather than this private resource's visitor data. You may nevertheless ask us to:
- 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 the resource changes. A revised version will appear here with an updated effective date.
