Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool is transmitted to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its response. This site does not retain or log those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be kept long enough to answer and manage the communication. It remains within the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, servers may automatically receive basic technical information about the visit:
- 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 are small device files used to understand traffic patterns and page use. Analytics providers may combine visits into aggregate reports. Browser controls can block cookies, although some functions may then behave differently.
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
No database of court dockets or personal case information is hosted, maintained, compiled, or sold here. The content identifies how Ness County records may be reached through Ness County District Court, Lindsey A. Weigle as Clerk of the District Court, and the Kansas District Court Public Access Portal. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the provider’s privacy policy, retention rules, and disclosure practices rather than this policy. Review those terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Ness County District Court, Kansas CaseSearch, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy terms apply. Review them before providing personal data.
Advertising providers may use their systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. That processing is controlled by those providers.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- 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 security practices are used for collected data, but no internet service can guarantee absolute protection or promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. A substantiated notice about a minor’s data will be addressed through deletion.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Kansas privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights concerning personal data. The Kansas Open Records Act and Kansas Supreme Court Rule 22 govern access to government and court records, not private visitor-data requests. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- 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. A new version will be posted here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
Effective date: August 25, 2026
