Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not retain or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be kept long enough to review it and respond. Messages remain within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive limited technical information whenever a visitor loads a page:
- Page-view timestamps
- The referring website, when one is reported
- Device category and operating system
- Visited pages and approximate time spent on them
- Browser name and version
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help measure traffic, popular pages, and points where visits end. Analytics providers combine this usage information for reporting. A browser can reject cookies, although disabling them may change how some features operate.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a search request to the selected partner service
- Finding and correcting performance or technical problems
- Understanding which resources visitors use and where improvements are needed
- Operating the website and maintaining reasonable load times
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
No court-docket or personal-case database is hosted or sold here. The content provides general directions to Pottawatomie County record custodians, Kansas District Court, municipal courts, and Kansas District Courts CaseSearch. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not compiled into reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the embedded search tools. Information submitted there is governed by the provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider decides how it retains and shares data. Review those terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to court clerks, trial-court portals, statewide case systems, legal-aid resources, or third-party search providers. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's policy controls its collection and use of data. Review that policy before supplying personal information.
Some advertising providers may use activity across websites to select targeted advertisements. That collection occurs through the provider's systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed to:
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Search providers processing a query submitted through their tool
- Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under a valid legal order
- Advertising networks serving content on the pages
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used security measures protect information in our possession. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach or unauthorized access cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from a person under 18. If information from a minor is identified, we will take steps to delete it.
Your Data Rights
The Kansas Open Records Act, K.S.A. 45-215 et seq., governs access to Kansas public records but does not make this private website a court-record custodian. Subject to the privacy and consumer laws that apply, a visitor may be able to:
- Object to certain forms of processing
- Request deletion of personal information
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request access to personal information held about that visitor
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices change. Any revision will be posted here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review the page periodically.
Effective date: August 25, 2026
