Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or similar detail is typed into a sponsored search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Automatic Site Data
Basic technical information may be collected when pages load so the site can operate, measure use, and detect problems.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic patterns, remember basic settings, and support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some site features may not behave the same way after that.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available and responsive.
- To send search requests to the provider selected by the search box.
- To learn which Montgomery County record pages are useful to readers.
- To identify broken links, errors, or technical failures.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Kansas court and corrections resources, KORA-related public-record materials, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy notice and terms of the outside website control what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for measurement or interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through those partners, not through a Montgomery County government office.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a mailing list. It may be handled by the limited parties needed to run the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process sponsored or third-party search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable security measures are used to protect information handled through this site. No website, server, email system, or internet connection can be promised as fully secure, so no breach-proof guarantee is made.
