Information You Submit
A third-party provider receives the name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. When you send a message, we receive the details you chose to include and use them to answer you.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We review combined usage data to maintain the site and understand which guides are useful. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may use cookies or similar tools where applicable.
How Information Is Used
Information supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual user profiles.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Your place of residence may give you rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held by a website. The research reviewed for this build did not identify a generally applicable Kansas consumer-privacy statute to cite. Because this site keeps little information, we normally check the contact mailbox and server logs when handling a request. Use the Contact page to ask. Kansas agencies, Ellis County, and the City of Hays control their own public records, so requests concerning those records must go to the relevant custodian.
Policy Changes
Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use of the site after publication of a change indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
