Privacy & Security
The District of Columbia Courts ("D.C.
Courts") are committed to protecting the privacy of all
visitors to our website.
Collection and Use of Online Information
Our web server automatically collects your Internet
Protocol (IP) address when you visit our site. Your IP address
is your computer's unique address that lets other computers
attached to the Internet know where to send data, but rarely
can be used to identify you individually. We use your IP address
solely to help diagnose problems with our server and to compile
statistics about site usage. We will not make your IP address
available to anyone outside the D.C. Courts technology staff,
unless required to do so by law.
To help us provide better service and a more effective website,
sections of this site may use "cookies" as part
of its interaction with your browser. A cookie is a small
text file that we place on your hard drive to allow our server
to identify your computer. Our cookies will not attempt to
read any additional information on your hard drive, and we
do not combine information collected through cookies with
other personal information to determine your identity or your
email address.
Secure Transmissions
Please be assured that this site is equipped with
security measures to protect the information you provide us.
Protection of Personal Information
Your personal information will not be shared, sold,
or transferred to any third party without your prior consent,
or unless it is required by law. It is available to D.C. Courts
web development employees and contractors only for the purpose
of maintaining the DCCourts.Gov web portal and improving the
site visitor experience.
Other Sites
The D.C. Court's privacy policy extends to the District
of Columbia Courts' website only.
