Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name, Adams County location, case clue, or other search term into one of the search tools on our site, that input goes straight to the third-party provider that runs the search. They process it and return results. We do not store or log the search terms you enter on our end.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send us an email or fill out a contact form, we keep that message so we can reply. Your message stays within our team. We will not share it with anyone outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires it. Messages sent to this private site do not become Adams County court filings, Colorado Judicial Branch records requests, Clerk and Recorder requests, or sheriff records requests.
Data We Gather Automatically
Every time a page on this site loads, our servers pick up some technical details 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
We use cookies on this site. These are small files stored on your device that let us see how visitors use the site - which pages get the most traffic and where people tend to drop off. Your browser settings let you block cookies whenever you want. Some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
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
Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to Colorado Judicial Branch portals, Adams County government pages, the Adams County Sheriff's Office, municipal courts, the Colorado DMV, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any personal details.
Official records may be governed by rules that are different from this private-site policy, including the Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. 24-72-201, CORA fee limits in C.R.S. 24-72-205(6), Colorado Judicial Branch Chief Justice Directive 05-01 and P.A.I.R.R., and DPPA or C.R.S. 24-72-204(7) limits for driver-record 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, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. But nothing connected to the internet is completely secure. We do what we can to keep your information secure, though we cannot promise a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. Public access to some Adams County court records involving juveniles, minors, protected parties, adoptions, mental health proceedings, or sealed matters is restricted under Colorado court rules and statutes.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, Colorado law, federal law, or another privacy law may give you rights related to personal data handled by private websites. For government records, Adams County and Colorado Judicial Branch custodians apply their own access and privacy rules, including CORA, CJD 05-01, P.A.I.R.R., and DPPA limits for driver data.
