Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the outside provider that powers the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own inmate-record database.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the message and contact details may be kept long enough to respond and maintain normal business records. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads, 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 supplied.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and keep features working. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some pages, ads, or search-related features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To pass search requests to the correct search partner when a partner tool is used.
- To understand which Gove County jail, court, and locator pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose broken links, display issues, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing context.
Links Away From This Site
Pages may link to sheriff websites, jail rosters, KDOC KASPER, Kansas court resources, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the outside website controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ad activity or show interest-based ads across websites. Those systems are operated by the advertising partner, not by this site.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to the following parties when needed for normal site operation or legal compliance:
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process requires it.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled through the site. No internet-connected website, email account, analytics tool, or advertising system can be guaranteed breach-proof.
