Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Montezuma County Court Docket does not keep a separate log or database of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message may be retained long enough to answer it and maintain an ordinary business record. It is not shared outside the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Standard server and analytics records can capture technical details when a page loads:
- 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 saved by a browser. They help measure which pages are used and where a visit ends. Analytics vendors may combine that activity into traffic reports. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Montezuma County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of court cases or personal court-record data. It publishes general directions to Colorado Judicial channels, the Clerk of Court, Montezuma Combined Courts, and municipal custodians. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into a report about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search widgets. A query submitted there is governed by that provider's privacy policy, retention schedule, and sharing terms. Review those terms before entering a search because this policy does not control the provider.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Colorado courts, clerk resources, legal-aid organizations, public portals, or private search providers. Once a reader follows an external link, the destination site's privacy policy governs the visit. Check it before disclosing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across sites and select ads. Their systems, not the court or clerk, perform that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available 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 administrative and technical safeguards are used for information under our control. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so transmission and storage always carry some risk.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults. Personal information is not knowingly collected from anyone under 18. If such data is identified, a request can be made for its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy law may provide rights concerning personal information. Colorado court-case access itself is governed by Chief Justice Directive 05-01, but that rule does not turn this private site into a court-record custodian. Subject to applicable law, you 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 as services or legal duties change. A revised version will be posted here with its effective date, and continued use after publication accepts the updated terms.
Effective date: August 16, 2026
