User Tracking and Data Capture Practices
Court Innovations collects and aggregates user information regarding use of our websites and the Court website where you access the Service for purposes of statistical and other analysis to help us improve our websites and the Service. Among other things, Court Innovations may collect and record domain names and/or IP addresses. This tells us what Services are used by distinct users, but does not tell us the individual identities of the users.
In some areas of the Court Innovations website or the Court website, in order for us to provide the Service, we do require and record personally identifiable information. By your use of the Service you consent to the collection of such information. This is done with your active permission and participation by your use of the Service.
Information we collect includes the date of your ticket or citation, driver license number, date of birth, name, address, email address, phone number and other personal information to enable us to complete the specific online transaction using the Service. Some of this information is provided by you directly and some information is obtained from the Court or other Court-related databases. After you enroll for the Service, this information is used for verification purposes, to provide the Service and to pay and remit fees to the Court.
Once you sign in to the Service or use the Service to perform a case search (either through the Court website or www.courtinnovations.com) you are not anonymous to us. Only the minimum set of required information for online review of your case using the Service is requested and stored. This information is necessary for use of the Service, including access to electronic court records. It will be used only for such purpose and will not be shared by third parties for their marketing purposes. No individually identifiable information will be used in usage pattern reporting.
We may also use “cookies” in providing the Service. A cookie is a small amount of data which often includes an anonymous unique identifier which is sent to your browser from a website's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. The data stored in these cookies is read by the Court website or the Court Innovations website for the purposes stated above. You can set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. The Service may be impaired if you decline to accept cookies.
Confidentiality and Data Security
We want our site visitors and users of our websites and the Court website to feel confident about using the Service and, therefore, are committed to protecting the information we collect. Unless required by law or the Court, Court Innovations will not transfer, sell, or otherwise make available to third parties personal information or provided by users of the Service, including email and mailing addresses. We limit access to personal information about our users to those Court administrators, attorneys and police agencies for whom we believe such access to be appropriate in light of the functions and responsibilities of their jobs.
We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information that is stored in our systems from unauthorized access. Our systems are configured with full 128-bit SSL-based data encryption or scrambling technologies and with firewalls to help protect confidential information, such as names, addresses, and passwords.
Protection of Passwords and Online Case Review Information
The Service is provided to facilitate online case review of your case before the Court. It is crucial that, as a user of the Service, you protect against unauthorized access to your password or online case review information and to your computer and that you always sign off when finished using a shared computer. Further, you should be aware that no system is impenetrable. Thus, it is your responsibility diligently to monitor your credit card statements, bank statements and similar personal information so as to discover and address as quickly as possible any misuse of your personal information. Neither Court Innovations, the Court, nor any other governmental agency, entity or body nor any vendor or service provider associated with any of our online efforts will be liable for any loss or damage relating to unauthorized access to your personal information on our system.
GDPR Compliance
The Service complies with GDPR.
If you are a data subject and wish to request to "be forgotten" by the Service, please contact gdpr@courtinnovations.com. Court Innovations will review your request and respond to you.
Email and Text Messaging
A useful feature of the Service is to notify you of the status of your case and online case review through email to your designated email account or text messaging. By use of the Service and providing an email or telephone number, you consent to the use of email and text messaging on activity regarding your case.
If you provide your email address, we may use it to email you case status updates and notifications. If you provide your cell phone number, we may use it to text you case status updates and notifications. In each case these may include updates on matters such as when court personnel have taken action on your case or when a new case linked to you has been found in your system. You are solely responsible for all charges, including but not limited to, data charges and text messaging charges associated with emails or texts that we may send to you.
Information Voluntarily Provided
In using the Service, we may request that you participate in surveys, focus groups, interviews or other activities. Your participation in these activities is completely voluntary and you may opt out of participation at any time by sending us an email to info@courtinnovations.com.
