Data You Provide
Search terms: If you enter a name, location, or other search detail into a search box, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Franklin County Inmate Population does not operate those partner databases and does not keep a separate site-side log of those search terms.
Messages: If you email us or use a contact method connected to this site, we may keep your name, email address, and message so we can respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Automatic Data
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical details when a page loads. These details help operate the site, understand traffic, and diagnose problems.
- IP address and approximate network location.
- Browser type, browser version, and language settings.
- Device type, screen size, and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring site or search engine, when available.
- Date and time stamps for visits and requests.
Cookies: Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure site use, remember basic preferences, support advertising, and improve performance. Most browsers let users block or delete cookies. Some site functions or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are blocked.
How Data Is Used
- Keep pages available, fast, and readable across common devices.
- Route search requests to the search partner selected by the tool.
- Understand which Franklin County jail, court, and locator pages visitors use most.
- Find broken links, page errors, abuse attempts, or technical failures.
- Support ads that may be based on general interests or browsing context.
Outside Links
This site links to Franklin County offices, Kansas court and corrections resources, federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the other website's privacy notice and terms control its data collection and use.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies, pixels, or account data to measure ads or show interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems, not in a jail or court record database operated by this site.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal contact messages. Limited data may be handled by service providers or disclosed when required by law.
- Search partners that process a query submitted through a search tool.
- Analytics providers that measure page traffic and technical performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process requires it.
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect data handled through this site. No website, email system, analytics tool, or internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof, so security cannot be guaranteed in absolute terms.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal information, contact us so the information can be reviewed and removed when appropriate.
Your Data Rights
Your rights may vary based on where you live and which law applies. We will respond to reasonable privacy requests as required by applicable law.
- Ask for a copy of personal data we maintain about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Request deletion when retention is not required.
- Opt out of certain processing, including some advertising uses where the law provides that choice.
Policy Updates
This privacy notice may be revised when site practices, partner tools, or legal requirements change. Updated terms are posted on this page with the new effective version reflected by the published text.
