Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, state, or other term into a search box supplied by a partner tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the search. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Automatic Site Data
Basic technical data may be collected when pages load, mainly to keep the site stable, measure use, and troubleshoot errors.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring site, when one is passed to us.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies

How Data Is Used

- Send search requests to the partner service that powers a tool.
- Understand which Wichita County record pages are useful.
- Find bugs, broken links, and performance problems.

Outside Websites
The site links to Wichita County pages, Kansas courts, Kansas Department of Corrections resources, Kansas VINE, federal locators, and outside search providers. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of that other service control.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar tools to measure ads and tailor ads across websites. That tracking occurs on their systems, not as an official Wichita County or Kansas government function.

- Analytics services used to measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security Limits
