Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search box is transmitted directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Rio Blanco County Court Docket does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message 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 collect routine technical information about the visit:
- Page-view dates and times
- The referring website, when one is reported
- Device category and operating system
- Browser type and version
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent
- The device's Internet Protocol address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on a device. They and analytics services help measure aggregate traffic, popular pages, and where visits end. Browser controls can block or delete cookies, although disabling them may change how some features operate.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a submitted query to the selected search partner
- Maintain site availability, speed, and basic operation
- Diagnose failures and other technical problems
- Understand which resources visitors use most
- Present advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Rio Blanco County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of dockets or personal court-case information. It provides general directions to the Clerk of Court, Rio Blanco Combined Court, the Colorado hearing docket, and other official routes. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or records about other people, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Access to an official Colorado court file is separate from this privacy policy. The Colorado Open Records Act addresses public records generally, while Judicial case-record access follows Chief Justice Directive 05-01 and the rules of the filing court. Those authorities do not turn this private website into the custodian of Rio Blanco County court records.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted through a tool is governed by that provider's privacy terms rather than this policy. Each provider controls its retention and disclosure practices, so its policy should be reviewed before a query is sent.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Colorado courts, clerk resources, legal-aid organizations, or outside search providers. Once a visitor leaves Rio Blanco County Court Docket, the destination's privacy rules apply. Review them before providing personal information.
Some advertising services may measure activity across websites to select ads. That processing takes place through the advertiser's systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed to:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place or measure advertisements
- Search providers that process a query submitted to their tool
- Government or law-enforcement authorities when valid legal process requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, however, and a breach cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor may be requested for deletion.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary with a visitor's place of residence and applicable privacy or consumer-protection law. Colorado's Open Records Act and Chief Justice Directive 05-01 govern access to official public and court records, not the private visitor data held here. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask for access to personal information held about that visitor
- Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that choice
- Request deletion of personal information, subject to lawful retention duties
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A new version becomes effective when posted here with an updated date.
