Information You Submit
Partner Search Queries
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not keep or log those query terms on our own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary server, security, and analytics systems may record technical details when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies help measure site use and support certain functions. Most browsers allow cookies to be limited or blocked. Disabling them may cause some tools or preferences to work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports normal operation and helps us understand broad patterns rather than build local arrest profiles.
- Operate, maintain, and improve site performance.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Measure which Barber County resource pages visitors find useful.
- Detect errors, abuse, and other technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
External Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to the Barber County Sheriff, Kansas courts, KDOC resources, federal locators, local news, or independent search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their systems and is governed by their policies.
When Information Is Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to these service providers or authorities for the stated purpose:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, commonly accepted safeguards for the information under our control. No website, network, or storage system can be guaranteed secure, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Adults Only
This service 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 Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, a person may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold about them.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete information where a right to erasure applies.
- Stop or opt out of certain processing where the law provides that choice.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as services or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
