Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A search submitted through a third-party search widget is handled under that provider’s process and privacy terms. Avoid entering sensitive information that is not necessary for a lawful search.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor contacts the site, the information supplied in that communication may be retained to respond, maintain the request, or protect the service. Do not send sealed material, private case documents, Social Security numbers, driver-license numbers, financial account numbers, or full dates of birth.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most online services, the site and its service providers may log basic technical information such as browser type, device information, approximate location derived from an IP address, referring pages, pages viewed, timestamps, and diagnostic information. That information is used to operate, secure, measure, and improve the service.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies or similar technologies may remember settings, measure traffic, limit abuse, or support advertising and analytics. Browser controls may limit some cookies, although a choice can affect site features.
What We Do With This Data
Information may be used to provide and maintain the site, understand usage, prevent fraud or abuse, respond to lawful requests, enforce terms, and improve content. McKinley County Court Docket does not use the site to create a court-record dossier or to publish private case information.
Official McKinley County files remain subject to the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act, Rule 1-079 NMRA, court orders, and the New Mexico Courts online access policy. Those sources, not this policy, decide whether an official court record may be inspected or copied.
No Court-Record Data on File
McKinley County Court Docket does not host official court dockets, court files, hearing calendars, or document images. A public case summary found through an official court system is not stored here as an official record. Requests for a court-held file should go to the court clerk or the judicial IPRA process.
Third-Party Search Partners
Some pages contain a search box or link supplied by an outside provider. That provider’s privacy policy, billing practices, data collection, and result handling apply when its service is used. The provider is separate from McKinley County Court Docket and from New Mexico courts.
Links to Other Websites
Links to New Mexico Courts, City of Gallup, court vendors, or other external resources leave this service. External sites control their own content, availability, and privacy practices. Review their policies before submitting information.
Who Might See Your Data
Information may be shared with vendors that host, secure, analyze, or support the service, when they need it to perform work for us. It can also be disclosed when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transfer. We do not sell official court records because this site does not maintain them.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. Do not submit private court documents or protected identifiers through this site.
Users Under 18
The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If a parent or guardian believes a child supplied personal information, contact the site so the issue can be reviewed.
Your Data Rights
Depending on applicable law, a visitor may ask about access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information held by this site. A request concerning a New Mexico court record must be directed to the responsible court. The New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act and Rule 1-079 NMRA have separate procedures and limits for court-held material.
To make a privacy request concerning this site, use the contact route listed on the Contact page and provide enough information to identify the request without sending sensitive case data.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as the service, law, or provider relationships change. The revised policy takes effect when posted here. The date of use should be checked when a privacy issue matters.
