Information You Choose to Submit
Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. Avoid placing sensitive personal information in a query unless the provider requests it and you have reviewed its policy. VINELink notification details are registered with the official service, not with this site.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may receive technical details when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring page or site, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure site use and support some features. Browser controls can reject or delete them, although parts of the site may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports limited operational purposes:
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
- Send a search request to the selected partner service
- Measure which pages readers use
- Detect and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect likely interests
Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, public-record portals, VINELink, or outside search tools. Once a reader leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy governs its collection and use. Some advertising partners may measure activity across different sites for targeted advertising. That processing occurs on their systems under their rules.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may still be provided to:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic and use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to a public website. No internet-connected service, transmission method, or storage system is fully secure. We cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask that eligible information be erased
- Opt out of processing where that right applies
These choices cover data held by this site. Requests about a sheriff, court, KDOC, VINELink, or a search partner must go to that separate record holder or provider.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
