Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in an embedded search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates it. That provider processes the query and supplies the result. We do not keep or log the search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained so our team can answer it. We do not disclose the message beyond our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, servers may 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 placed on a device. They help show which pages receive visits and where use stops. Analytics providers combine that traffic information. A browser can block cookies, though doing so may change how some features behave.
How We Use Information
Collected information supports operation of the site and its search connections. Uses may include:
- 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
This site does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case information. It publishes general directions to Benton County clerks, trial courts, and Search ARCourts. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or third-party case record.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the provider's privacy policy, including its retention and sharing rules. Review those terms before sending a query because this policy does not control the provider.
Links to Other Websites
Links to clerk pages, court portals, Search ARCourts, legal-aid organizations, and outside tools lead away from this site. The destination's privacy policy then governs. Read it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data 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 security practices protect collected data, but no internet service is free from risk. We take safeguards while making no promise that a breach can never occur.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor may be requested for deletion.
Your Data Rights
Applicable law may provide rights concerning personal information held by this private site. A visitor 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
Public court records follow a different framework. Arkansas Supreme Court Administrative Order No. 19 governs access to court records, while the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105, addresses public records subject to its exemptions. A request about a Benton County case record must go to the proper court custodian.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change. A revised version will be posted here with a new effective date so visitors can review current practices.
Effective date: August 14, 2026
