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 keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message may be retained so our team can respond. It is not disclosed outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers automatically receive certain technical details about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device to help measure how visitors move through the website, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine this traffic information for reporting. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case information. The content identifies where Brown County records are held and how official material may be requested from the Clerk of the District Court, Brown County District Court, municipal courts, or Kansas CaseSearch. Public access to those official records is governed by Kansas Supreme Court Rule 22, Rule 106B, and the Kansas Open Records Act where applicable. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is never assembled into a consumer report or a third-party case profile.
Third-Party Search Partners
Independent companies power the search tools. Information submitted there is governed by the provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its own retention and disclosure practices, so review those terms before searching.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to clerk pages, Kansas court portals, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's privacy terms apply. Review them before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted ads. We do not operate that tracking infrastructure.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable standard safeguards are used for collected information. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If such information is identified, we will remove it upon notice.
Your Data Rights
Privacy and consumer-protection rights vary by residence. Kansas residents may also have protections under applicable Kansas consumer law. Regardless of location, a visitor may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version will appear here with a new effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
Effective date: August 24, 2026
