Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies any results. We do not retain or log the search terms entered through those tools.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you send an email, we retain the message to respond to it. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, our servers may collect routine technical details about that visit:
- Your device's IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- The referring site, when one is available
- The date and time of a page request
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies, small files placed on a device, to understand aggregate site use such as page traffic and visitor paths. Analytics services help us review that information. You may block cookies through your browser settings, though some site functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate, maintain, and improve page performance
- Route search requests to the appropriate partner service
- Assess which pages visitors use and which need attention
- Identify and resolve technical problems
- Display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
This site does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case records. It provides general guidance about records kept by the Saline County Circuit Clerk, the Missouri Circuit Court, 15th Judicial Circuit, Saline County Division, and Missouri Case.net. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party records.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes on this site. Information entered into one of those tools is subject to that provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. The provider determines its own retention and sharing practices, which we do not control. Review its policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to Circuit Clerk resources, Missouri courts portals, Missouri Case.net, legal-aid resources, and third-party search tools. A link opens another website, where that website's privacy policy controls. Review the outside policy before giving that site personal information.
Some advertising partners may track activity across websites to deliver targeted advertising. That activity occurs through their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be disclosed to:
- Search partners that process a query submitted through this site
- Analytics services that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that serve ads on our pages
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard practices intended to protect information we collect. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that a security incident will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a minor has provided information to us, notify us so that information can be removed promptly.
Your Data Rights
Missouri's Sunshine Law, including Mo. Rev. Stat. §§ 610.010, 610.023, 610.026, and 610.120, addresses access to qualifying government records. Court-record access is also governed by Missouri Court Operating Rule 4, while Rule 122.02 limits access to certain juvenile and family files. For information we retain about you, you may:
- Request a copy of information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate
- Request deletion of your information
- Opt out of certain types of data processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this privacy policy. A revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
Effective date: August 29, 2026
