Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, case number, or other term entered in an embedded search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies the result; this site does not retain or log the query.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained to prepare and document a response. We keep such correspondence within the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems may automatically record ordinary technical details when a page loads, including:
- Page-view dates and times
- A referring website, when available
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- Device category and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The device's IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. Along with analytics services, they help us understand aggregate patterns such as popular pages and where visits end. A browser can be configured to refuse cookies, although disabling them may affect how some site features operate.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Measuring which material is useful and where revisions are needed
- Operating, maintaining, and improving site performance
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
- Passing a search request to the selected outside provider
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, sell, maintain, or compile a database of Franklin County dockets or personal case information. Our pages explain how to reach the appropriate court, clerk, or Tennessee case-search resource. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Independent companies supply the search boxes found on some pages. Their privacy policies, retention rules, and sharing practices govern information submitted through those tools. Review the applicable provider's policy before entering a query because we do not control its processing.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Franklin County clerk pages, court portals, Tennessee case-search systems, legal-aid resources, or commercial search services. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's privacy terms apply. Check those terms before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted advertisements.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. It may, however, be available to:
- A search provider processing a query
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks serving material on the site
- A government or law-enforcement authority acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, customary safeguards are used for information we collect. No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security, however, and we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 34 governs public access to court records, while the Tennessee Public Records Act, including Tennessee Code Annotated section 10-7-503, applies to qualifying government records. Neither turns visitor analytics maintained by this private website into an official public record. Subject to applicable privacy and consumer law, a visitor may:
- Object to certain forms of processing
- Request deletion of personal information
- Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected
- Request access to personal information maintained about the visitor
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any revision will be published on this page with an updated effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
Effective date: September 6, 2026
