Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name, place, or other term into a search tool on this site, that input may go to the third-party provider that runs the search. That provider processes the query and returns results under its own privacy terms. We do not act as the Doniphan County District Court, the Clerk of District Court, the Sheriff's Office, or the Kansas Judicial Branch.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send a message connected to this private site, we may keep that message so we can respond or maintain site records. Your message is not an official Kansas Open Records Act request to Doniphan County, the 22nd Judicial District, or any Kansas agency. Official records requests should go to the government office that holds the record.

Cookies
We use cookies on this site. These are small files stored on your device that help show how visitors use the Doniphan County pages, which records topics get traffic, and where technical problems may occur. Your browser settings let you block cookies. Some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.

Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to Kansas CaseSearch, Doniphan County offices, the 22nd Judicial District, the Doniphan County Sheriff's Office, Kansas vital-record resources, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off this site. At that point, the destination site's privacy policy governs your visit.
K.S.A. 45-216 states Kansas public policy favoring open public records, and K.S.A. 45-218 addresses inspection, responses, fees, and refusals for public records. Those laws apply to public agencies, not to the privacy practices of this private reference site or its advertising partners.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries run through search tools on this site
- Analytics services used to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure. We work to protect information connected to this site, but we cannot promise that a breach, outage, or unauthorized access event will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. Court, juvenile, adoption, and protected-person records may involve minors, but those official records are governed by Kansas law and court rules, not by this site.

- Request that we erase personal data where applicable
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing where available
Updates to This Policy
