Information You Submit
Partner Search Terms
A name, place, or other query entered into an outside search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy controls its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the supplied details as needed to respond and manage the request. We do not share the message outside the organization unless doing so is required by law or necessary to address the request.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics logs may collect technical details when a page loads.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages and may support advertising or site functions. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, although some features may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports a limited set of operating purposes.
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service
- Learning which guides readers use
- Finding errors and resolving security or performance issues
- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests
Links and Outside Services
The guide links to the Pottawatomie County Sheriff, Pottawatomie County Jail, Kansas courts, KASPER, federal locators, news pages, and outside search tools. Once a visitor follows one of those links, the destination’s privacy notice governs its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select ads. That tracking is performed under their policies, not as a government-record function of this site.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may reach parties that provide or lawfully oversee site services.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Limits
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information. No internet service, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be intercepted, lost, or accessed without permission.
Visitors Under 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the data actually held by this site, a user may ask for a copy of personal data, request correction of inaccurate details, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Cookie choices can also be managed in the browser. These rights do not require the Pottawatomie County Sheriff, Kansas courts, KDOC, or another linked office to alter its official records.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as the website or its service providers change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective information.
