Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar lookup detail into a third-party search tool on this site, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement requires disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical details when a page loads.
- Your IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help us understand site use and keep pages working as intended. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may behave differently if you do.
How We Use Information
- To keep the Rawlins County pages available and responsive.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which jail, court, and locator pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to Rawlins County resources, sheriff and court pages, Kansas correctional resources, federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and serve targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by the Rawlins County pages themselves.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to these limited recipients when needed for site operation or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, KORA-related process, or other lawful demand applies.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a small public-information website, but no internet-connected service can be promised breach-proof. You use the site with that limitation in mind.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Ask that personal information be deleted.
- Opt out of certain processing where the law gives that right.
Policy Changes
We may update this notice from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with the updated text taking effect when published.
