CaseLink Trust Center
Data Sources
CaseLink organizes public-source records, approved integrations, documents, news context, and submitted information so people can understand where case information may come from.
Effective: July 25, 2026
1. Public-source foundation
CaseLink may organize information from public records, public agency pages, official notices, public databases, court records, public PDFs, archived pages, public news reports, and other sources that are lawfully available to the public.
2. Approved integrations
CaseLink may use approved integrations or import workflows for sources such as FBI public data, CourtListener public court data, public government agencies, geocoding services, weather or geographic context, news sources, and other documented data services.
3. Agency information
Agency pages may include public names, jurisdictions, addresses, phone numbers, website links, case references, and related metadata. Agency information is provided for context and should be verified with the agency before reliance.
4. News context
Public news articles may be used to support discovery, timelines, source review, geography, entity context, and search results. A news mention is not proof of a case connection, identification, accusation, or official finding.
5. User and family submissions
CaseLink may receive leads, corrections, documents, source links, family submissions, and public tips. Submissions are not automatically verified and may be reviewed, restricted, rejected, archived, or removed.
6. Document preservation
Documents may be preserved with metadata such as filename, source URL, upload context, extracted text, page information, timestamps, review status, and case relationships when supported by the platform.
7. Source priority
Primary official sources usually carry more weight than reposts, summaries, or unsupported submissions. CaseLink may still preserve lower-confidence records when they help document where a claim came from.
8. Corrections
Public sources can be incomplete, outdated, duplicated, or wrong. Corrections should include the best available source, the affected record, and the reason the existing information should change.
