Information You Send
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, county, state, or related term into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own permanent log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and reply. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, court order, subpoena, or a similar legal process.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical details when a page loads or when a visitor moves through the site.

- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic, remember site behavior, and measure which pages are useful. Visitors can block cookies in their browser settings, but some features may load or behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used

Other Websites
This site links to the Crawford County Sheriff's Office CRIMEWATCH portal, the CRSO inmate roster, Kansas court resources, KDOC KASPER, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and other outside websites. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's own privacy policy controls how that site handles information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ad views, clicks, and activity across websites. That tracking happens under their policies and is not controlled by this site.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a standalone list. It may be handled by limited outside parties when needed for site operation, search features, advertising, or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information handled through this site. No website, email system, analytics service, or search partner can be guaranteed breach-proof, so absolute security is not promised.
