Privacy Policy

This policy describes how Whitman County Court Docket handles information connected with visits to this privately operated website. It also explains the separate role of outside search providers and official Washington court links.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

Terms entered in a sponsored search tool are sent to the third party operating that tool. We do not maintain those search terms in a local court-record database. The provider's own policy governs its processing.

Messages and Contact Submissions

If you email us, we may retain the message and contact details long enough to respond and maintain business records. We do not disclose the message outside our organization unless law requires it.

Data We Gather Automatically

Routine server and analytics logs may record an IP address, browser and operating system, device type, referring page, pages visited, timestamps, and basic performance data. These details help the site operate and reveal broad usage patterns.

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies and similar tools may support analytics, preferences, and advertising. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some functions may then work differently.

What We Do With This Data

Collected technical data may be used to secure and maintain the service, diagnose errors, measure page use, route sponsored searches, and display advertising. It is not used to create an official Whitman County court record.

No Court-Record Data on File

Whitman County Court Docket does not host or maintain the official case databases of the Whitman County Clerk, District Court, municipal courts, or Washington Courts. It publishes routing information and links. The site is not a consumer reporting agency and does not assemble visitor data into consumer reports.

Third-Party Search Partners

A company that supplies a sponsored search box controls the information submitted to that service. Its retention, disclosure, pricing, and privacy terms may differ from ours. Review those terms before entering information.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Whitman County offices, Washington Courts, statutes, legal resources, or other services. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination's policy applies. Advertising providers may also use their own technology to measure activity.

Who Might See Your Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be processed by hosting, analytics, advertising, and search vendors that support site operations. Information may also be produced in response to a valid legal demand.

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, and transmission or storage always carries some risk.

Users Under 18

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly seek personal information from children. If information from a child is identified, a deletion request may be submitted through the listed site contact.

Your Data Rights

Rights vary with applicable Washington and federal law. A person may ask what personal information we hold, request correction or deletion where required, or object to eligible processing. Washington court-record access is a different subject. GR 31, GR 15, and GR 22 govern access and restrictions for court records. Chapter 42.56 RCW is not the court-document access law in Whitman County.

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as services or legal duties change. The current text and effective date will be posted here.

Effective date: September 7, 2026
