Information You Submit
A name, location, or other query entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Ford County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy controls its handling of the query.
An email or contact message may include a name, address, and any details the sender chooses to provide. Messages are retained as needed to answer and are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Automatic Technical Details
Ordinary page requests may produce technical records used to operate and protect the service:
- IP address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring page or site, when supplied; and
- request dates and timestamps.
Cookies help measure how pages are used. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
- Keep pages available, secure, and responsive.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understand which Ford County guides readers use.
- Diagnose errors and repair technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be based on interests.
Other Websites and Advertising
Links lead to Ford County records offices, Kansas courts and corrections pages, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy terms apply. Advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based advertising; that tracking is controlled by those providers.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be handled by search partners processing a query, analytics vendors measuring traffic, advertising networks serving ads, and law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to reduce risk. No internet-connected service is completely secure, however, so transmission and storage cannot be promised to be breach-proof.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. These requests concern data controlled by this private site. Ford County, Kansas, and third-party systems have their own processes and legal retention duties.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A new version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective information.
