Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number submitted through a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results; we do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email message as needed to answer it. The message is kept within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems automatically receive basic technical information when a page loads:
- Your device's internet protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Visited pages and approximate time spent
- Any referring website
- Date and time information for page requests
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device to help measure traffic and understand which pages visitors use. Analytics vendors may aggregate that activity. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how parts of the website function.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating, maintaining, and improving site performance
- Passing a submitted query to the selected search provider
- Measuring which resources visitors use
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect user interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Coffee County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case data. It provides routing information for Coffee County records held by the Circuit Court Clerk, Clerk & Master, trial courts, and other official systems. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Independent companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and sharing policies apply to information submitted through those tools. Review the applicable provider policy before running a query because we do not direct those practices.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Coffee County clerk pages, Tennessee court services, legal-aid resources, or commercial search providers. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy policy controls. Read those terms before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may perform cross-site tracking for targeted ads through their own systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be disclosed 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 information in our control, but no internet service can guarantee perfect security or that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be deleted when properly reported.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Tennessee and federal privacy or consumer-protection law may provide rights concerning personal data. Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 34 and the Tennessee Public Records Act govern access to official public court and government records, not private visitor analytics maintained by this website. At a minimum, you can:
- 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. A new version becomes available here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
Effective date: September 6, 2026
