Public policy

Privacy Policy

CourtScope minimizes personal information and separates public data from restricted evidence.

Public case pages never display defendant names. Correction reporter emails are private and scheduled for deletion 90 days after closure. Raw IP addresses are not retained; salted abuse-prevention hashes may be used. Restricted source artifacts remain private unless a lawful, ethical public release is approved.

What controls

Official source terms, applicable law, dataset-specific notices, and the current published CourtScope methodology control where they are more specific. Contact info@courtscope.org for questions.
