Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor uses a search feature, the search text may be sent to the provider that operates that feature. We do not use a search query to create a court record or to change an official docket.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends a message through a contact method that is made available, the information supplied in that message may be retained to respond or operate the service. Do not send confidential case, financial, identity, or legal information through a general website contact method.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, this service may receive technical information such as device type, browser, IP address, referral page, pages viewed, approximate location inferred from IP address, and the time of a visit. This information supports security, performance, and site administration.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies or similar technologies may be used to remember basic settings, measure traffic, and understand how the pages perform. Browser settings can usually limit or delete cookies, although some features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
Information collected through routine website use may be used to operate, secure, maintain, improve, and measure this resource. It may also be used to respond to a message, comply with law, or protect the service and its users. We do not sell an official Granville court docket because we do not operate one.
No Court-Record Data on File
This resource does not host official case files, court calendars, orders, or docket data. The Granville Clerk of Superior Court keeps county court files, and North Carolina eCourts Portal is the official public case-search channel described elsewhere on this site. Court-file access is governed by G.S. 7A-109, Chapter 132 of the North Carolina General Statutes, court orders, and confidentiality rules, not by this privacy policy.
Third-Party Search Partners
Sponsored or third-party search features are operated by their own providers. Their collection, use, retention, and security practices are governed by their own policies. Review those policies before providing information to a third-party service.
Links to Other Websites
Links to the Granville Clerk, North Carolina courts, statutes, and other external resources leave this service. We do not control an outside site’s content, availability, or privacy practices. External sites should be reviewed under their own terms and privacy notices.
Who Might See Your Data
Information may be available to service providers that help operate the site, analytics or hosting providers, and authorities where disclosure is required by law or needed to protect rights and safety. We do not disclose information simply because a person seeks a court record; the official court and clerk control their own records under applicable North Carolina law.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. Visitors should avoid submitting sensitive information through general web forms or third-party widgets.
Users Under 18
This service is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. A parent or guardian who believes that information was provided by a child may request its review or removal through the available contact method.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, law may provide rights to request access, correction, deletion, or limits on certain personal-information processing. Any request should be made through the available contact method. A request about an official Granville court file must go to the Clerk of Superior Court or the appropriate court agency, not to this private resource.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised when practices, technology, or legal requirements change. The version posted here applies from its posting date. Continued use after an update means the visitor accepts the updated policy.
