Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, case number, or other term entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Marinette County Court Docket does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. Such messages remain within the organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, server systems may automatically receive basic technical and usage details:
- Page-view dates and timestamps
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on a visitor's device. They can help measure which pages receive traffic and how visitors move through the website. Analytics providers may combine that activity into aggregate reports. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Measuring which material is useful and where improvements are needed
- Delivering search queries to the selected partner service
- Operating, maintaining, and improving page performance
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Marinette County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case records. It publishes general directions to Marinette County custodians, the Wisconsin Circuit Court, municipal courts, and Wisconsin Circuit Court Access. The website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted through a partner tool is governed by that company's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each partner determines its own retention and disclosure practices. Visitors should review those terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Marinette County Clerk of Circuit Court, Wisconsin court services, legal-aid resources, or outside search tools. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's policy applies. Review it before providing personal details.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That activity is subject to the provider's controls and policies.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics vendors measuring use and performance
- Search partners processing a visitor's submitted query
- Advertising networks serving content on the pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used security measures protect collected information. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, however, so Marinette County Court Docket cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If information from a minor is identified, it will be removed when reasonably verified.
Your Data Rights
Rights can differ based on a visitor's location and applicable privacy or consumer-protection law. Wisconsin's public-record policy in Wisconsin Statutes section 19.31 concerns access to government records; it does not convert this private website's visitor data into a Marinette County court record. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
- Request deletion of personal data
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request access to personal information held about that visitor
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with an updated effective date, and continued use will be governed by the posted version.
Effective date: September 7, 2026
