Information You Provide
Search Queries
Names, locations, or other terms typed into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. This site does not keep a separate local log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply details may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal order requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard technical data may be collected when pages load.
- IP address

Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site traffic and feature use. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available and working properly.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Sedgwick County custody topics are useful.
- To diagnose errors, speed problems, or security issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to Sedgwick County, Kansas courts, Kansas corrections, federal locator pages, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that website's own privacy policy controls how data is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ad views or tailor ads across websites. That tracking is controlled by the advertising partner, not by the county or any government office.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a customer list. It may be handled by limited service providers or disclosed when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers used to measure traffic.
- Advertising networks used to show ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies under a valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected service can promise perfect protection. Users should avoid sending sensitive personal data unless it is necessary for the request.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Data Rights
