Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, case number, or other term entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Linn County Court Docket does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message may be retained long enough to review it and provide a response. Messages remain within the operating team unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, servers may receive routine technical and usage details, including:
- The device's Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- A referring website, when one is supplied
- The date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Small files known as cookies may be stored on a visitor's device. Analytics providers use them to combine traffic information, such as which Linn County pages receive visits and where sessions end. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies. Disabling them may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
Collected technical and usage information may support the following purposes:
- Operating the website and improving page speed
- Routing a requested search to the correct partner service
- Measuring which information visitors use
- Finding and correcting security or technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Linn County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of case dockets or personal court records. It publishes directions to official sources, including Kansas Case Search, Linn County District Court in the Sixth Judicial District, its District Court Clerk, and municipal court custodians. Under Kansas Rule 21, an events index or register of actions is part of the court-maintained case record. That official information remains with the relevant court. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report, and Linn County Court Docket is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the search tools displayed on this website. A query submitted through one of those tools is governed by that provider's privacy policy, retention rules, and disclosure practices. Linn County Court Docket does not set or control those terms. Review the provider's policy before entering personal information.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Kansas Case Search, Kansas Judicial Branch pages, the Linn County District Court Clerk, municipal courts, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy applies. Its terms should be read before any personal details are supplied.
Advertising services may also use their own technology to measure activity across websites and choose targeted advertisements. That processing takes place through their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed to:
- A search provider processing a query submitted to it
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks placing advertisements
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under the site's control. No online storage or transmission method can be guaranteed secure. These measures reduce risk but cannot promise that unauthorized access, loss, or a security incident will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal details from anyone younger than 18. If information from a minor is identified, a request may be made for its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Kansas consumer-protection law and other laws where a visitor resides may provide rights concerning personal information. The Kansas Open Records Act and Kansas Rules 21, 22, and 24 govern access to official Kansas court records, not access to this site's visitor analytics. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request a copy of personal information held by the site
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request deletion of personal information
- Opt out of certain processing when that right applies
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may be revised as practices, technology, or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted here with its new effective date. Visitors should review the current text when they want to know how information is handled.
Effective date: August 25, 2026
