Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Text entered in a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. That provider processes the query and supplies its results. Morton County Court Docket does not keep a local log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, we retain the message long enough to respond and manage the correspondence. It is not shared beyond our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
Normal server logs may record technical information when a page loads:
- Your device IP address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device type
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when available
- Time and date of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics help measure traffic, popular pages, and site performance. You can restrict cookies through your browser, although some functions may then behave differently. Analytics providers process their own data under their policies.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate and improve page speed and reliability
- Send a submitted query to the selected search provider
- Understand which public-reference pages are useful
- Find and correct technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Morton County Court Docket does not maintain, compile, sell, or host a database of dockets or personal case records. It publishes reference material about the Morton County District Court, the Clerk of the District Court, municipal custodians, Kansas CaseSearch, and official request channels. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention rules, pricing, and sharing practices govern information submitted to them. Review the provider’s policy before entering any query because this policy does not control its systems.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Morton County offices, Kansas courts, legal services, or outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination’s policy applies. Review it before providing personal details.
Advertising companies may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Search providers that handle submitted queries
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical practices are used to protect collected information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so an absolute promise against unauthorized access cannot be made.
Users Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor supplied such data so it can be reviewed and deleted.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Kansas consumer-protection law, including the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, K.S.A. 50-623 et seq., may affect your rights. The Kansas Open Records Act, K.S.A. 45-215 et seq., governs requests to public agencies and courts, not private visitor data held here. You may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information we hold
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete eligible information
- Opt out of eligible processing
Updates to This Policy
Revisions will be posted here and identified by a new effective date. Review the policy periodically if you want to track changes in these practices.
Effective date: August 25, 2026
