At Sedgwick County Court, accessible at https://sedgwickcountycourt.us, we are fully committed to ensuring that your data is handled by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The privacy and protection of our users’ data are of the utmost importance to us. This GDPR Compliance page is designed to clearly outline how we collect, store, process, and protect your data as it relates to European Union (EU) regulations, and to confirm that we do not provide any services, communities, commitments, tools, or platforms.

What is the GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a legal framework established by the European Union to ensure that personal data is handled with transparency, fairness, and accountability. It applies to any entity that collects or processes the personal data of individuals within the EU, regardless of the entity’s location.
Although Sedgwick County Court is based in the United States, and primarily serves users interested in Sedgwick County, Kansas-related legal information, we are committed to complying with GDPR principles for any EU-based visitors who access our website.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. These files help improve performance, track analytics, and remember preferences. Sedgwick County Court uses cookies only for analytical purposes to monitor traffic and optimize content for our visitors.

Lawful Basis for Processing Data
Under the GDPR, data must be processed based on lawful grounds. Sedgwick County Court processes limited data (such as IP and browser information) under the legitimate interest basis. Our aim is to maintain a secure, efficient, and informative online environment. Since we do not collect user-submitted data or provide services or tools, the scope of our data processing remains minimal.
User Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the European Union, you have several rights under the GDPR regarding your personal data:
- Right to Access: You can request access to the data we have collected about you (IP address, session data).
- Right to Rectification: If any information is inaccurate, you may request correction.
- Right to Erasure: You may ask for the deletion of your personal data if there is no legitimate reason for us to retain it.
- Right to Restriction: You may request that we limit the way we use your data.
- Right to Data Portability: You may request your data in a portable format.
- Right to Object: You may object to our processing if you believe your rights outweigh our legitimate interest.
Please contact info@sedgwickcountycourtus.us to make any such requests. Although we only process anonymous and non-identifiable browsing data, we will take your inquiry seriously and respond promptly.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption protocols and secure server connections. While we do not handle personal or sensitive information, we are committed to protecting even anonymous browsing data from unauthorized access or misuse.
Please note that Sedgwick County Court is not a platform, service, or digital tool provider. There is no user login or profile management on our site, which significantly limits the risk of data exposure.
No Services or Communities Provided
It is essential to highlight that Sedgwick County Court does not provide any services, tools, platforms, or communities of any kind. Our website does not offer legal consultations, appointment scheduling, document filing, or access to court case information beyond what is publicly accessible through state or county resources.
We are not responsible for providing commitments, case handling features, or any interactive tools that collect personal data. Any impression that this site offers services is incorrect. Our role is purely educational—to help users understand how they might navigate public legal systems like the Sedgwick County Court in general terms.

If you believe a minor has provided personal data through a means we are unaware of, please notify us at info@sedgwickcountycourtus.us, and we will take prompt action to address the situation.
