Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in an embedded search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies the result; we do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained long enough to answer it. We keep correspondence within our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page can cause our servers to receive technical information about the visit, including:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies stored on a visitor's device help measure aggregate traffic, popular pages, and navigation patterns. Analytics providers assist with that measurement. You may block cookies through browser settings, although doing so can change how parts of the site function.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of Lincoln County dockets or personal case data. This site explains how to reach the Lincoln County District Court, its Clerk of the District Court, and Kansas's public-access resources. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes used on this site. Their privacy policies—not this policy—govern information submitted to them, including retention and disclosure practices we cannot control. Review the applicable policy before searching.
Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to clerk of court pages, trial court portals, statewide case-search systems, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any personal details.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold, though information can be disclosed to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected data, but no internet-connected system is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If such collection is brought to our attention, the information will be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Your rights may depend on the law where you live. The Kansas Open Records Act, K.S.A. 45-215 et seq., and Kansas Supreme Court Rule 22 address access to government and court records; they are not presented here as a general consumer-privacy statute governing this private site's visitor data. Subject to applicable law, you can:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as our practices change. Any revision will be posted here and identified by a new effective date.
Effective date: August 25, 2026
