Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
We retain email and contact-form messages as needed to respond and maintain the exchange. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Automatic Technical Information
Our systems and service providers may record routine technical information when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device class and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring page or site, when supplied; and
- request dates and timestamps.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure site use and support site features. Browser controls can reject or delete cookies, though some functions may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the operation of the service. We use it to:
- keep pages available and responsive;
- send search requests to the selected partner;
- learn which content readers use;
- diagnose errors and security issues; and
- display advertising that may reflect user interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to sheriff and court pages, Kansas VINE, KASPER, federal locators, records portals, news sources, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy policy controls its data practices.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the partner’s technology and policy.
Parties Receiving Information
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that serve ads; and
- law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to the information and services involved. No website, network, transmission, or storage system can be promised as fully secure or immune from a breach.
Adults Only
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use Contact Us to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of data we hold, a person may:
- ask for a copy of their personal data;
- request correction of inaccurate data;
- seek deletion of personal data; and
- object to or opt out of certain processing.
These rights concern information held by this private site. Requests about a Lincoln County or Kansas government record must go to its public custodian under the Kansas Open Records Act or other applicable process.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as practices or legal duties change. The updated version will be posted here with a new effective date.
