Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies the results; Madison County Court Docket does not retain or log those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email you send long enough to respond and handle the correspondence. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, our servers automatically receive basic technical information about the visit:
- 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 on a device. We and our analytics services use them to understand traffic patterns, including popular pages and where visits end. You may block cookies in your browser, although doing so can change how portions of the website function.
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
Madison County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of dockets or personal case-record information. It offers general directions to records held by the Madison County Clerk, the Madison County Unified Circuit Court, Indiana MyCase, and the appropriate city court. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes appearing on this website. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure practices govern information submitted to those tools, and we do not control those choices. Review the applicable provider policy before searching.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Madison County Clerk, Indiana courts, MyCase, legal-aid resources, or independent search providers. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read that policy before providing personal information.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- 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
We use standard security measures for information we collect. No internet system is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Indiana privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights concerning personal data. The Indiana Rules on Access to Court Records govern access to court records, while the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, Indiana Code 5-14-3, governs other qualifying public records; neither law makes this private website the custodian of Madison County court files. 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
We may revise this policy. A revision will be posted here and identified by a new effective date, so visitors should review this page periodically.
Effective date: August 23, 2026
