Information You Submit
Queries in Search Tools
A name or location entered in a search box is transmitted to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep a separate log of those search terms. The provider's own terms and privacy practices apply to its processing.
Messages Sent to Us
An email or contact message may be retained long enough to answer and maintain a record of the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Information
Ordinary server, analytics, and advertising systems may receive:
- the visitor's IP address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring page, when supplied; and
- the time and date of a request.
Cookie Use
Cookies help measure use and remember technical preferences. A browser can reject or delete them, although a search, analytics, or advertising feature may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports a limited set of operating needs:
- delivering pages reliably and quickly;
- passing a search to the selected partner;
- understanding which content visitors use;
- finding security or performance faults; and
- displaying advertising that may reflect interests.
Other Sites and Advertising
Links lead to sheriff rosters, Kansas court and corrections services, federal locators, news outlets, and private search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy notice governs its collection and use.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs through their systems, not a Kiowa County government system.
Limited Data Sharing
Personal information is not sold. It may be made available to:
- search partners that must process a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver or measure ads; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used. No internet service, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so this notice makes no breach-proof promise.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from a minor. A parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to request deletion of information a minor submitted.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held by this site, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing.
Changes to This Notice
This policy may be revised as services or legal duties change. A new version will be posted here with its updated effective date.
