Search-widget input is sent to the third-party provider operating that widget. We do not maintain a Knox County case database or store the search terms submitted through the widget on our own systems.

If a visitor emails a message, the message and reply information may be retained to handle that correspondence. We do not sell contact information.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our hosting and analytics services may receive routine technical information such as an IP address, browser type, device and operating-system details, referring page, pages viewed, visit duration, and time stamps.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics tools may help measure site performance and navigation. Browser settings can limit cookies, although some site features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
Technical data may be used to operate, secure, improve, and measure the site or to route a search request to its selected provider.

No Court-Record Data on File
Knox County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell court dockets, case files, or consumer reports. It provides general directions to the public custodians of Ohio court information. Court access is governed by the Ohio Rules of Court and applicable statutes, including Ohio's Public Records Act and the court-record rules that apply to judicial records.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside providers operate the search boxes displayed on certain pages. Their collection, retention, security, and sharing practices are controlled by their own policies. Review the provider's policy before entering information into its service.
Links to Other Websites
Links to court, clerk, statute, and other external sites take a visitor outside this site. The destination's privacy policy applies after that point. Advertising or analytics partners may also use their own technologies subject to their own terms.
