Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, number, or other term entered into a sponsored search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the request under its own policy. Bourbon County Court Docket does not retain or log those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or contact message may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It is not voluntarily disclosed outside the organization unless required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics logs can record technical details when a page loads, including:
- The device's internet protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages opened and approximate visit duration
- A referring website, when supplied
- Date and time associated with a request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device to support operation and measure aggregate use, such as popular pages and navigation patterns. Analytics providers may assist with that work. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some features may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate, maintain, and improve page performance
- Route a sponsored query to its outside provider
- Measure which material visitors use
- Diagnose errors and security concerns
- Display and measure advertising
No Court-Record Data on File
Bourbon County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of dockets or personal case information. It publishes directions to Kansas CaseSearch, Melissa Trim's District Court office, and other custodians. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA, and visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or third-party case profile.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate sponsored search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the provider's privacy terms, retention choices, and disclosure practices rather than this policy. Review those terms before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Kansas courts, Bourbon County offices, legal resources, or commercial services. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination's policy controls its collection and use of data. Review it before sharing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or select ads. Those practices occur on systems they control.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be available to:
- A search provider receiving a query submitted to its tool
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- A government authority acting under valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for retained information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so absolute prevention of unauthorized access is not promised.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A verified request concerning a minor's submitted information will be reviewed for deletion.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights concerning personal data. The Kansas Open Records Act and Kansas Supreme Court Rules 21 through 24 govern official records held by public and court custodians; they do not turn this private resource into a government records office. A visitor may:
- Request access to retained personal information
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Ask for deletion where the law permits
- Object to or opt out of eligible processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A replacement will be posted here and identified by a new effective date.
Effective date: August 24, 2026
