Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains what Hamilton County Inmate Population may collect when visitors use the site, submit a message, click an outside link, or use a sponsored search tool. By using the site, visitors accept these practices.

Information Visitors Provide

Search Terms

Names, locations, or other details typed into a sponsored search box are sent to the outside provider that operates that search tool. This site does not run the partner database and does not keep a local copy of those search terms.

Messages

If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the submitted name, address, message text, and reply details may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.


Automatic Site Data

Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when a page loads.

  • IP address and general network information.
  • Browser name, browser version, and device type.
  • Operating system and screen or device signals.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
  • Referring website or search engine, if one is passed.
  • Date and time stamps for visits and requests.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic, improve page performance, remember basic preferences, and support ads. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some site features may respond differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

  • To keep pages working, secure, and reasonably fast.
  • To send search requests to the correct partner tool.
  • To learn which jail, court, and custody pages visitors use most.
  • To find technical errors and improve navigation.
  • To support advertising that may be based on general interests.

Outside Websites

Links may point to sheriff pages, jail resources, Kansas court pages, KDOC tools, federal locators, ICE resources, and third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the other website's privacy notice and terms control that visit.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites. Their tracking, opt-out tools, and data rules are managed by those partners, not by Hamilton County Inmate Population.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold as a contact list. It may be shared with limited service providers or disclosed when required.

  • Search partners that process sponsored search queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security

Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, error-free, or immune from unauthorized access.


Users Under 18

This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may request deletion.


Privacy Choices

  • Request a copy of personal data held by the site.
  • Ask to correct inaccurate contact information.
  • Ask for deletion of eligible personal information.
  • Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that right.

Policy Updates

This notice may change as the site, search partners, or legal requirements change. Updates are posted on this page with the revised text.
