Data You Give Us Directly
If you use a form, email link, or other direct communication option connected with this site, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as a name, email address, message text, or technical details included with the message. Do not send confidential case documents, Social Security numbers, payment card data, protected health information, or sealed court material to this private site.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical data such as browser type, device information, pages visited, approximate location derived from internet routing, referring pages, and dates or times of visits. Analytics, hosting, security, and advertising tools may use cookies or similar technologies to measure traffic, prevent abuse, and operate search or sponsored-result features.
What We Do With This Data
Data may be used to operate the website, monitor performance, improve page organization, prevent fraud or abuse, respond to direct messages, and understand which Vanderburgh County record topics are most used. Information is not used to create an official court record, file a public-records request, or act as a consumer report. Official Indiana and Vanderburgh County records remain with the government office that maintains them.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to Indiana courts, Vanderburgh County offices, the Sheriff's Office, federal courts, and other outside resources. Those sites have their own privacy rules, security practices, and public-records procedures. For example, court-record availability is controlled by Indiana court access rules and the maintaining court, not by this website.
Who Might See Your Data
Service providers that support hosting, analytics, security, advertising, or search functions may process limited website data for those purposes. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, legal process, security needs, or protection of site rights. This private site is not the Vanderburgh County Clerk of the Courts and does not process official APRA requests for county agencies.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information handled by this site. No website can guarantee perfect security. Public court records, sheriff records, and Clerk records should be requested through the official Indiana or Vanderburgh County office when an official response, certified copy, or secure government transaction is needed.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for general public-records reference use and is not directed to children. Juvenile court and law-enforcement records in Indiana may be confidential or restricted under Indiana law, including IC 31-39 and court access rules, and this site does not seek to collect information from minors.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or limits on certain personal information held by private website operators. Indiana public agencies handle public-records access under IC 5-14-3, but that statute does not make this private site the custodian of Vanderburgh County court records.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be updated when site practices, technology, or legal references change. The continued use of this site after an update means the current version applies to later visits.
