Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, record number, or other term entered into an embedded search tool is sent to the provider that operates that tool. That provider processes the query under its own policy. This resource does not maintain a separate log of the search terms entered through the provider.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email, the message and contact details may be retained to respond and maintain the correspondence. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, ordinary server and analytics systems can receive technical visit data, including:
- IP address and visit timestamp
- Browser, device type, and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- The referring site, when one is supplied
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small browser files that can support site operation and aggregated traffic measurement. Browser controls can limit or block them, although some features may then function differently. Analytics reports are used in aggregate to understand performance and page use.
What We Do With This Data
The information is used to operate and secure the resource, route a search to the selected provider, diagnose technical problems, measure aggregate use, and support advertising that may be interest-based.
No Court-Record Data on File
This resource does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a database of court dockets or personal case files. It provides reference information about Lenoir County access channels, including the Clerk of Superior Court, the trial courts, and the North Carolina eCourts Portal. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention practices, and data-sharing terms govern information entered there. Review those terms before submitting a query because this resource does not control them.
Links to Other Websites
Links can lead to court, clerk, Portal, or third-party websites. Once a visitor leaves this resource, the destination's own privacy practices control. Review them before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems for interest-based advertising or measurement across sites; that activity is governed by their policies.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. Depending on the service used, information may be processed by:
- Search providers selected by the visitor
- Analytics and hosting services that support performance
- Advertising networks serving page advertisements
- Government bodies when a valid legal obligation requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information within the service, but no online transmission or storage method is completely secure. Absolute security cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor provided information, they may request its removal.
Your Data Rights
North Carolina court-record access is governed in part by G.S. 7A-109 and the general public-records framework in Chapter 132, subject to judicial confidentiality rules. Those laws do not change the visitor-data practices in this policy. A visitor may still request to:
- Ask for a copy of personal information held in direct correspondence
- Seek correction of inaccurate contact information
- Request deletion where retention is not required
- Use browser or provider controls to limit certain processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices change. A revised version will appear here with an updated effective date.
Effective date: August 31, 2026
