Your Rights and Choices
At Miami Dade County Court, we respect your privacy and believe you should have control over your personal information. This section explains the rights you have regarding your data and how you can exercise those rights, based on the laws that apply to you. Whether you are an EU resident protected by GDPR or a California resident covered by CCPA, we aim to provide transparent and simple ways for you to manage your information.
Under GDPR (for EU Users)
If you live in the European Union, you have specific rights regarding your personal data. You can ask us to provide a copy of the information we hold about you. This is known as the right to access your data.
You also have the right to correct any incorrect or incomplete information. If you believe that some details we hold are wrong, please let us know, and we will update them promptly.
Additionally, you can request the deletion of your personal data. This means we will remove your information from our records, except where we need to keep it for legal or legitimate business reasons.
Another important right is data portability. You may ask for your data to be shared with you in a common, readable format. This makes it easier for you to transfer your information to another service if you choose.
Under CCPA (for California Users)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect about you. This includes details about how we collect, use, and share your data.
You also have the option to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. While our site does not sell personal data, if that changes, you will have a clear way to say no to such sales.
Cookie Control and Opt-Out Options
Your privacy matters, and managing how cookies interact with your device is an important part of that. Cookies help improve your experience by remembering your preferences and showing relevant content. However, you have the choice to control or limit their use at any time. This section explains how you can manage cookies and opt out of personalized advertising to maintain your comfort and privacy while browsing our site.
Manage Cookies in Your Browser
You have control over how cookies work on your device. Most web browsers let you delete cookies or block them altogether. This helps protect your privacy and gives you a smoother online experience. If you want to adjust your settings, check your browser’s preferences or settings menu. There, you can clear existing cookies or choose whether to accept new ones.
Opt-Out Links for Ad Personalization
Some companies use cookies to show ads that match your interests. If you prefer not to see personalized ads, many organizations provide opt-out pages. These pages let you stop receiving targeted advertisements without affecting your overall browsing. For example, you can visit websites like the Network Advertising Initiative or Digital Advertising Alliance to opt out from various ad networks.
How to Disable Cookies
Disabling cookies is simple and takes just a few steps. In your browser settings, find the privacy or security section. From there, you can block cookies or set preferences for certain websites. Keep in mind that blocking cookies may limit some features or services on this site and others you visit. If you want help adjusting these settings, your browser’s support page offers clear instructions.
