Data You Give Us Directly
We may receive information that a visitor voluntarily provides through a contact method, such as a name, email address, or the message itself. Do not send private case documents, Social Security numbers, financial-account data, or other sensitive court information to this site.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, the service may receive limited technical information from browsers and devices, including IP address, browser type, pages requested, referring address, and date or time of access. This information is used for operation, security, and aggregate site measurement.
What We Do With This Data
Information is used to operate, secure, maintain, and understand the site, respond to a message, and meet legal obligations. We do not use the site as a court-record repository or build profiles from court dockets.
No Court-Record Data on File
Hancock County Court Docket does not host official docket sheets, case files, hearing calendars, or clerk records. Mississippi public-record access is governed by the Mississippi Public Records Act and court-specific rules, including the public-access procedures for Mississippi Electronic Courts; official records remain with the responsible court or clerk.
Third-Party Search Partners
Content pages may contain a search widget operated by a third party. Information entered into that service is governed by the provider's own privacy terms. We do not control its collection, retention, matching, prices, or results.
Links to Other Websites
Links to clerks, courts, PAMEC, municipal portals, and other sources leave this site. Those services have independent privacy and security practices, so review their policies before providing information.
Who Might See Your Data
Data may be handled by service providers that support hosting, security, analytics, communications, or a lawful request. We do not sell personal information as a court-record product.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Use official court channels for records that require statutory protection or formal handling.
Users Under 18
The site is not directed to children. Do not submit personal information for a minor. Youth Court records in Mississippi are subject to confidentiality protections, including Miss. Code ยง43-21-261, and should be directed to the authorized court process.
Your Data Rights
Depending on applicable law, a visitor may ask about personal information submitted directly to us. Requests can be made through the site's available contact method. Official court-record requests must instead go to the relevant Hancock County or municipal custodian.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as the site or applicable privacy practices change. The current version applies when posted. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
