Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other query entered in an embedded search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not retain or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or submit a contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Automatic Technical Records
Basic technical data may be recorded when a page loads. That information helps operate the site and understand general use.
- Your internet protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookie Controls
Cookies may help measure site use and remember limited browser activity. You may block cookies through your browser settings, although some features may then work differently.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected data supports a limited set of operating needs.
- Maintain site speed and availability
- Send search requests to the selected provider
- Measure which pages visitors use
- Diagnose and repair technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Websites Outside Our Control
Links may lead to the Thomas County jail roster, sheriff incident pages, Kansas courts, KDOC, federal locators, or outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy rules and data practices apply.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those companies, not by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be provided to these recipients when needed:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Services that provide site analytics
- Advertising networks serving site ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards appropriate for an internet publication. No online service, storage system, or data transmission method can be promised as fully secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal data, a parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
- Request correction of inaccurate personal data
- Ask that eligible data be deleted
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this privacy policy as the site or applicable practices change. An updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
