Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other query entered in a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own system. The provider's policy governs its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we keep the details needed to review and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, or advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads, including:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure site use and support site functions. You may block or remove them through browser controls, though some features may work differently afterward.
How Information Supports the Site
- Operate pages and maintain performance.
- Send a search request to the selected partner tool.
- Measure which resources visitors find useful.
- Detect errors and resolve technical faults.
- Display advertising that may reflect user interests.
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to Wilson County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, Kansas government portals, or third-party tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy terms apply. The Kansas Open Records Act governs requests to Kansas public agencies, not the handling of data by an independent search partner.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to observe activity across websites and select targeted ads. That cross-site processing occurs on their services, not in a record database hosted here.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by:
- Search partners processing a submitted query.
- Analytics vendors measuring site use.
- Advertising networks delivering ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Has Practical Limits
We use standard safeguards suited to an online reference service. No internet system is fully secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be intercepted, lost, or accessed without permission.
Use by People Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contact Us page to request its deletion.
Choices About Your Information
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Ask us to erase eligible data.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as services or practices change. An updated version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
