At Cumberland County Court Records, located at hcumberlandcountycourts.org, we value transparency and data protection. This page explains how our website aligns with the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our goal is to inform visitors about how limited data is collected, stored, and managed.
Our website is informational in nature. We do not provide legal services, handle case files, or process record requests. Still, because some visitors may come from the European Union, it is important to explain how we address GDPR requirements and clarify how data may be handled when using this website.
What Is GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a legal framework created by the European Union to protect personal data and give individuals more control over how their information is collected and used. While Cumberland County Court Records operates as an independent informational resource in the United States, we respect the importance of these principles for all visitors.

Our website does not actively collect personal data from visitors unless they choose to contact us. Data collection is minimal and limited to technical information such as browsing activity, cookies, and email details when voluntarily provided. These practices fall under the scope of GDPR, and we want visitors to be aware of their rights.
