Information collected
Information may be received when a visitor submits a search query through a third-party search widget, sends a contact message, or voluntarily provides details in another form. The site and its service providers can also receive ordinary technical information, including browser type, device characteristics, referring page, approximate location derived from an IP address, date and time, and pages viewed.
Cookies, similar identifiers, and server logs may be used to remember preferences, measure traffic, protect the service, limit abuse, and support advertising or analytics. A visitor can adjust browser settings to manage cookies, though some features may not operate as intended after a block.
How information is used
Collected information may be used to operate and improve the site, respond to messages, maintain security, understand aggregate use, enforce rules, and measure the performance of links or advertisements. Search queries entered into the widget pass to the provider that supplies the search service; that provider’s own terms and privacy notice control its processing.
The site does not promise that a submitted query produces an official record or a complete result. Visitors should avoid sending highly sensitive details through a general contact channel.
Outside recipients
Information can be processed by search partners, analytics vendors, advertising networks, hosting providers, and other vendors that help run the service. It may also be disclosed if required by a valid legal request, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a business transfer. These recipients may operate under their own notices and practices.
External links, including official Cass County, court, corrections, and third-party resource links, lead to sites not controlled by this operator. Review each destination’s policy before submitting information there.
Security and retention
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information, but no internet transmission, device, or storage method is guaranteed secure. Information is retained only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, to resolve issues, or to meet legal obligations, then may be deleted, aggregated, or de-identified where practical.
Children and user choices
The site is not directed to children under 18, and it does not knowingly seek to collect their personal information. A parent or guardian who believes a child provided information may request review or deletion through Get in Touch.
Depending on applicable law and the information held, a visitor may request access, correction, deletion, or a description of processing. Requests will be considered in accordance with applicable law and may require identity verification. Browser and device controls can also manage cookies and interest-based advertising choices.
Policy updates
This notice may change as the site, providers, or legal requirements change. The current version applies when posted. Continuing to use the site after an update indicates acceptance of the revised notice to the extent permitted by law.
