Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Information entered into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Holmes County Court Docket does not keep or log the name or case number entered into the widget.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to the operator may be retained to answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Web servers can receive standard technical visit data, including an IP address, browser and version, device and operating system, referring source, viewed pages, visit duration, and page-view times.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics tools may be used to understand aggregate traffic and performance. Browser controls can limit cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data

No Court-Record Data on File
Holmes County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell court dockets, case files, or third-party consumer records. It publishes general access information for official Holmes County custodians, including the Circuit Clerk, Chancery Clerk, Justice Court, municipal courts, and PAMEC. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and does not assemble visitor data into consumer reports.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search widgets. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and sharing practices apply to information entered in their tools. Review a provider’s policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links can lead to court portals, clerk pages, PAMEC, PACER, and other outside resources. Their policies govern after leaving this resource. Advertising partners may also perform cross-site activity tracking on their own systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. Information may be handled by a search partner that receives a query, an analytics or advertising service, or a government body with a valid legal order.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable safeguards are used for the limited information handled here. Internet transmission and storage cannot be guaranteed completely secure, so no promise can be made that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If a parent or guardian believes a child supplied information, a removal request may be sent to the operator.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy or consumer-protection law may provide additional controls. Mississippi’s Public Records Act concerns governmental records and does not replace a court-record access process. Visitors may request access to, correction of, deletion of, or limits on processing of information held by the operator where applicable.
Updates to This Policy
Changes will be posted in the policy text with a revised effective date. A return visit to this policy is the way to check the current terms.
