Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered into a sponsored search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and returns its results. Jones County Court Docket does not retain or log those search terms as its own record.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Email or other direct contact may be retained to respond to the message. It is kept within the organization unless disclosure is required by law or is needed to address the request.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the hosting and analytics systems may receive technical information about the visit, including:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device that help measure traffic patterns and page performance. Analytics services may aggregate those measurements. Browser controls can block cookies, although some parts of the resource may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating, securing, and improving page performance
- Routing a search request to the provider selected by the visitor
- Understanding aggregate use of the resource
- Diagnosing technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may be interest-based
No Court-Record Data on File
Jones County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case records. It provides general information about the Jones County Circuit Clerk, Chancery Clerk, lower courts, and Mississippi MEC/PAMEC access routes. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the sponsored search boxes. Their privacy notices, retention practices, and sharing choices govern information entered into those tools. Review the provider’s policy before submitting a query because Jones County Court Docket does not control those practices.
Links to Other Websites
The resource links to clerk pages, Mississippi court portals, other public resources, and third-party tools. A link opens a separate service governed by its own privacy policy. Review that policy before disclosing personal information.
Advertising providers may conduct cross-site activity tracking to deliver interest-based advertising. Any such tracking occurs under the provider’s systems and policies.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Information may be disclosed to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected information. Internet transmission and storage cannot be guaranteed entirely secure, so no promise is made that an incident will never occur.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such information is believed to have been submitted, contact the organization so the matter can be reviewed and addressed.
Your Data Rights
Mississippi’s Public Records Act concerns access to covered public-body records, not visitor data held by this private resource. The Mississippi Ethics Commission guide explains written requests, inspection, fees, redaction, and written-denial principles. The Mississippi judiciary is a separate branch, so Jones County court-file access remains subject to the court’s rules, the clerk’s procedure, and any applicable order, as the MEC privacy policy explains. Mississippi Rule of Civil Procedure 5.1 addresses privacy and redaction for electronically accessible filings. At a minimum, a visitor may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date, so visitors who want current details should review this page from time to time.
Effective date: August 28, 2026
