Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. The provider processes the terms and supplies its results under its own policy. Kenedy County Court Docket does not intentionally retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends a message, the content and return details may be retained long enough to respond and keep an appropriate record of the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless service operation or a valid legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Technical data may be recorded when a page loads. It can include:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser, version, device type, and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent
- Referring page or website, when supplied
- Date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics tools help measure visits, performance, and navigation patterns. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although some functions may then work differently. Analytics reports are used to understand traffic in aggregate rather than to create a court-record profile.
What We Do With This Data
Collected information supports limited operational purposes:
- Operating, securing, and improving page performance
- Sending a voluntary search to the selected provider
- Diagnosing errors and misuse
- Measuring which resources are used
- Displaying and evaluating advertising
No Court-Record Data on File
Kenedy County Court Docket does not maintain, host, compile, or sell a database of Kenedy County case records. It publishes general routing information for re:SearchTX, eFileTexas, the 105th Judicial District Court, the District Clerk, County Clerk, Justice Courts, and Thirteenth Court of Appeals. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports. Official case files remain with the court or clerk that created and maintains them.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside providers power search boxes on content pages. Information submitted there is governed by that provider's privacy policy, retention choices, pricing, and terms. Review those rules before entering a query. This policy does not control an independent partner's systems.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Kenedy County offices, Texas courts, re:SearchTX, eFileTexas, laws, legal resources, or private tools. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination's own privacy policy governs. Advertising providers may also use their systems to measure activity across sites.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed to:
- Search providers that process a query a visitor submits
- Hosting, analytics, and security vendors
- Advertising services that place or measure ads
- Authorities when disclosure is required by valid law or process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information under the site's control. No internet service can promise perfect security, and transmission or storage always carries some risk.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly seek personal information from anyone under 18. Information identified as having been submitted by a minor may be removed when appropriate.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary with residence and applicable privacy law. A person may be entitled to request access, correction, deletion, or limits on certain processing. The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code chapter 552, concerns public government information and does not govern private-site visitor data or automatically grant access to adjudicative court files. The Texas OCA policy distinguishes court case records from judicial records. Judicial administrative records may fall under Texas Rule of Judicial Administration 12, while case records should be requested from the maintaining clerk under the rules that govern the file.
- Ask what personal information is held about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Seek deletion where applicable
- Object to or limit eligible processing
