Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Search terms entered into a search box are sent to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider handles the query and returns its results. Kansas Court Docket does not store or log the terms entered in those partner search boxes.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to the site is retained so the team can respond. Messages remain within the organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the server receives technical information related to that visit, including:
- The time and date of the page view
- The website that referred you, when one is present
- The browser and its version
- The pages opened and the time spent on them
- The device category and operating system
- The IP address assigned to the device
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on your device. The site uses them to understand broad usage patterns, such as which pages receive visits and where people leave. Analytics services help combine those traffic signals. Browser settings can block cookies, although some site functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Improving page performance and site reliability
- Sending a search query to the provider that operates the search box
- Finding and resolving technical problems
- Measuring which pages visitors use
- Displaying advertisements that may reflect browsing interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Kansas Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of case files or personal court-record details. The site provides general information about Kansas CaseSearch, the state court system, and the Clerk of the District Court in each of Kansas's 105 counties. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information collected through this site is not assembled into consumer reports or records about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes found on some pages. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and sharing practices govern anything entered there. Kansas Court Docket does not control those providers. Read a provider's policy before sending it a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Kansas county clerk pages, court portals, Kansas CaseSearch, legal-aid resources, or an outside search provider. Once you leave, the other organization’s privacy terms apply. Review them before providing personal information.
Some advertising partners may use their own systems to track activity across websites for targeted ads. That activity is controlled by those partners.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Information may be received by:
- Advertising networks that place ads on the site
- Analytics providers measuring page traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a query sent through their tool
- Law enforcement or government agencies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect the information collected through the site. Internet-connected systems cannot be made risk-free, however, so the site cannot promise that a security incident will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information, contact the site so it can be removed.
Your Data Rights
The Kansas Open Records Act (KORA), K.S.A. 45-215 et seq., concerns public records held by covered government custodians. It does not create a general privacy statute for visitor data held by a private website. Kansas Supreme Court Rule 22 governs electronic access to public District Court and appellate case records. For personal information this site holds about your use, you can ask to:
- Opt out of certain types of data processing
- Request deletion of information we hold
- Ask for a copy of data associated with you
- Request correction of information that is inaccurate
For a court file or public agency record, contact the official custodian instead; Kansas's court-access and public-record rules do not make this private site the keeper of a case docket.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A new version and effective date will be posted here when changes are made. Review the current text to see how the site's data practices are described.
