Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name, case number, or another search term into a sponsored search tool, the query is transmitted to the company operating that tool. Union County Court Docket does not operate the provider's results system and does not maintain a court-record database from those queries.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends an email, the message and contact details may be retained long enough to read, respond, and maintain ordinary correspondence. Do not send sealed court material, payment data, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive record information through a message to this private resource.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, hosting and service systems may log technical visit information needed for security, performance, and site operation.
- Internet protocol address and approximate network data
- Browser, device, and operating-system information
- Pages requested and referral source where available
- Dates and times of page requests
- Error and performance information
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies or similar technologies may support site functions, traffic measurement, and partner services. Browser controls can limit cookies, although a provider's search tool or other feature may not work as expected when its required settings are blocked.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and correspondence information may be used to operate and secure the resource, respond to communications, measure basic performance, and troubleshoot errors. It may also be used to understand whether a page is reaching visitors who need court-access information. It is not assembled into a report about any person.
No Court-Record Data on File
Union County Court Docket does not host, compile, sell, or maintain case files, Registers of Actions, hearing calendars, or personal court-record profiles. It links to official routes such as the North Carolina eCourts Portal and the Union County Clerk of Superior Court. Court access remains subject to the records held by the clerk, court rules, and restrictions that apply to individual material.
Third-Party Search Partners
A third-party provider operates any sponsored search box shown on a content page. Information entered there is handled under that provider's terms and privacy practices. Review the provider's notice before submitting a query, and use official court sources when an answer needs to be verified.
Links to Other Websites
This resource links to official Judicial Branch, clerk, legislative, municipal, and other source pages. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the external site's privacy rules and data practices apply. Union County Court Docket does not control those systems or their availability.
Who Might See Your Data
Information may be handled by service providers that support hosting, analytics, search tools, or communications, and may be disclosed when required by a valid legal process. Personal information is not sold as a product by this resource.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information connected with site operations. No online system can promise complete security. A visitor should avoid placing confidential court material or sensitive identifiers into ordinary web forms, messages, or a third-party search tool.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for general informational use and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly seek personal information from a child. If a parent or guardian believes that a child supplied information through an email contact, they may request review of that correspondence.
Your Data Rights
A visitor may ask about personal information voluntarily sent to this resource and may request correction or deletion where retention is not required. North Carolina court-file access is a separate question: G.S. 7A-109 governs the clerk's court records and public inspection, while the North Carolina Public Records Act includes public-record and redaction provisions. Neither statute turns this private website into a court-record custodian.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change if the resource, its service providers, or applicable requirements change. The current version will be posted here.
