Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, location, or other search detail into a partner-powered search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own jail-record database.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain ordinary business records. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Automatic Technical Data
Basic technical information may be collected when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and page use. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, although some site features or advertising functions may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search activity to the proper partner service.
- To understand which Stevens County jail, court, and locator pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose errors, security events, and technical problems.
- To support advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
External Links and Services
This site links to sheriff and jail pages, Kansas court resources, KASPER, federal and immigration locators, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity or show targeted ads across websites. Those tracking choices are controlled by the advertising provider, not by the Stevens County Sheriff's Office or any government agency.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone mailing list. It may be available to limited service providers or authorities in these situations:
- Search partners that process a query submitted through their tool.
- Analytics services that measure visits and performance.
- Advertising networks that provide or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used, but no internet-connected site can be promised breach-proof. Information sent online is submitted at that ordinary risk.
