Information You Submit
Names and Search Terms
A name, place, or other query entered into an embedded search tool is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact submission, we retain the message and supplied contact details as needed to answer. We do not disclose that correspondence outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may record details associated with a page request, including:
- The internet protocol address used for the visit.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may help measure how visitors move through the site and support site or advertising functions. Browser controls can reject or delete cookies, although blocking them may cause some features to work differently.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable speed and reliability.
- Send an entered query to the selected search partner.
- Understand which Rooks County guides visitors find useful.
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and other technical problems.
- Deliver advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links lead to the Rooks County jail roster, sheriff and court pages, Kansas corrections systems, government portals, news sources, and independent search services. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across multiple sites and select interest-based ads. That cross-site processing occurs under the partner's controls, not as a booking-record function of this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may nevertheless be processed or disclosed to:
- Search providers that receive queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics vendors that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or evaluate ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies acting under a valid subpoena, court order, or comparable legal demand.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards suited to a public website. No internet transmission, connected server, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor supplied information may use the Contact & Corrections page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a person may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about that person.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask that qualifying personal data be erased.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where that right applies.
These rights concern data controlled by this private site. Kansas government records remain with their custodians under the Kansas Open Records Act, K.S.A. 45-215 et seq., and requests about those records must go to the responsible agency.
Policy Revisions
We may revise this policy as site practices or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here with its updated effective date.
