Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Information entered into a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query under its own practices and returns whatever result its service makes available. We do not maintain a separate log of the names or case numbers typed into those tools.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send us an email, we retain the message so it can be answered. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When the resource is loaded, our systems may receive routine technical information about the visit:
- IP address associated with the device
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- Referring site, if one was provided
- Page-view timestamps
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files that may help measure how visitors use the resource, such as which pages receive traffic or where sessions end. Aggregated analytics can help evaluate that activity. Browser settings can block cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and submitted information may be used to operate and improve the resource.
- Maintain availability and page performance
- Send a search request to the applicable outside service
- Understand which pages are useful to visitors
- Investigate and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
This private resource does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case-record information. It provides general information about the Ste. Genevieve County Circuit Clerk, Missouri Case.net, and other documented access routes. Missouri Court Operating Rule 2 (COR 2) presumes court records are open during regular business hours subject to lawful confidentiality limits, and Court Operating Rule 4 (COR 4) describes the official court record. Those rules govern access to court records; this policy does not create a right to obtain a court file through this resource.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search tools displayed here are operated by outside companies. Information submitted to a tool is subject to that provider’s privacy policy, retention practices, and sharing practices. We do not control those practices, so review the provider’s policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to court, clerk, municipal, statewide search, legal-aid, or outside search resources. Once a visitor moves to another website, that destination’s privacy terms govern the visit. Review them before giving the destination personal information.
Advertising partners may also measure activity across websites for advertising purposes. Any such tracking is operated on their systems, not on the Ste. Genevieve County court record system.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be received by the organizations needed to operate a visit or process a request.
- Search providers that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers used to measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place advertising on the resource
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal requirement applies
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by this resource. Internet systems cannot be made risk-free, however, and no promise can be made that an unauthorized access event will never occur.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such information is believed to have been submitted, contact us so the matter can be reviewed and the information removed where appropriate.
Your Data Rights
You may ask about personal information maintained in connection with your use of this private resource, including a request to review, correct, remove, or limit certain processing where applicable. Those requests do not provide access to another person’s court file. Missouri Sunshine Law procedure appears in RSMo §610.023, while court records remain subject to COR 2, COR 4, and the court custodian’s confidentiality limits.
- Request a copy of information maintained about you
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Ask that personal information be deleted where applicable
- Ask about opting out of certain processing
