Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information a visitor may provide to the privately operated Union County Court Docket resource, how technical data may be used, and when it can be disclosed. Court files and docket entries remain with the responsible New Mexico court, not with this resource.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

Text entered into a third-party search tool is handled by that provider under its own practices. The private resource does not operate the provider's database or represent that it stores the terms entered into the tool.

Messages and Contact Submissions

If a visitor sends an email, the message and reply information may be retained to respond or maintain the correspondence. Disclosure occurs only when required by law or necessary for the service described in this policy.

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 and Analytics

Cookies are small browser files that can help measure aggregate use, page performance, and traffic patterns. Browser settings can limit cookies, although some site functions may respond differently when cookies are blocked.

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

The private resource does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a Union County court-record database. It identifies official routes to the Clerk of the Eighth Judicial District Court, the other responsible court clerks, and New Mexico's public-access tools. Rule 1-079 NMRA governs public inspection and sealing of court records, while the judiciary's IPRA request route quotes NMSA 1978, Section 14-2-8(D) for a reasonably particular request. The resource is not a consumer reporting agency and does not assemble visitor information into consumer reports.

Third-Party Search Partners

Search boxes on this site are powered by outside companies. Anything you enter into those tools is processed under the partner's own privacy policy, not this one. Those partners set their own data-retention and sharing practices, and we do not control them. Review the partner's policy before submitting a search.

Links to Other Websites

Throughout the site we link to clerk of court pages, trial court portals, statewide case-search systems, 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.

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

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used for information handled through the resource. Internet transmission and storage cannot be guaranteed risk-free, so no absolute security promise is made.

Users Under 18

The resource is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. A reported minor-data concern will be addressed under the applicable request process.

Your Data Rights

Privacy choices may depend on applicable law and the service involved. Court-record access is a separate subject: New Mexico Rule 1-079 NMRA and the New Mexico judicial IPRA request process govern access to court materials held by the responsible court. 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

Updates to This Policy

This policy may change when the resource's practices change. The current version will remain posted here with its effective date.

Effective date: August 30, 2026
