Privacy Notice

This notice describes information received through the site, how it may be used, and the limited circumstances in which it may reach another party. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Submit

Queries Sent to Search Providers

A name or location entered into an embedded search tool is transmitted to the third-party company operating that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you send an email or other contact message, we retain its contents and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share a message outside the organization unless law requires it.


Technical Information Collected Automatically

A page request may generate ordinary operational data, including:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent on them;
  • the referring page or site, when available; and
  • request timestamps.

Cookies

Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although some functions may then behave differently.


How Information Supports the Site

  • Operate and improve page performance;
  • send a requested search to the selected partner;
  • understand which guides are useful;
  • diagnose errors and security problems; and
  • display advertising that may reflect general interests.

Websites Operated by Others

Our links lead to Chautauqua County records resources, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls. Advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may be processed by search partners handling a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, and law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order.


Reasonable Security, Not a Guarantee

We use customary safeguards appropriate for a public website, but no internet transmission or connected system can be promised to be breach-proof.


Adults Only

The site is intended for people 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. A parent or guardian may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion of information a minor submitted.


Your Data Choices

Subject to applicable law, a person may ask what personal information we hold, request correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. Kansas public records held by an agency are governed by the Kansas Open Records Act, K.S.A. 45-215 et seq.; this private site does not control those government records.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as services or practices change. The updated version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
