Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that feature. The provider processes the query and supplies the response. Ferry County Court Docket does not retain or record those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Email messages are retained as needed to prepare a response. They remain within the organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers may automatically receive technical information about the visit, including:
- 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 to help measure how the site is used, such as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine traffic information for reporting. Browser controls can block cookies, although disabling them may change how some features operate.
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
Ferry County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case information. It provides general directions to Ferry County court records held by the County Clerk, Superior Court, District Court, and Washington search systems. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party records.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its retention and disclosure practices, so review those terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Ferry County Clerk, courts, Washington case-search services, legal aid organizations, or external search providers. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed 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, commonly used safeguards protect collected information. No internet-connected service is completely secure, however, and the site cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If information from a minor is identified, a request may be made for its prompt deletion.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection laws may provide additional rights based on residence. Washington's Public Records Act, chapter 42.56 RCW, governs qualifying public records held by government agencies, while GR 31 governs access to Washington court records. Those laws do not turn this private site into a government records 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 privacy policy may be revised. Any revision will be posted here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review the policy periodically.
Effective date: September 7, 2026
