Pathfinder Central Privacy Policy

Pathfinder Central Privacy Policy

It is the policy of the Central Kansas Library System that the privacy of all users will be respected in compliance with federal and state laws as well as professional standards.

Pathfinder Central member libraries will not reveal personally identifiable information of individual users or reveal what information sources or services they consult under most circumstances. Reasons for disclosure include being required by search warrant or subpoena or if there is a substantiated reason to believe that violations of law or of Pathfinder Central policies have taken place; or when failure to act might result in significant bodily harm or significant property loss. This policy applies to all resources regardless of their format or means of delivery as well as to all services offered by the System.

All records and other information relating to an individual's use of the online public access catalog (OPAC) and its resources are considered confidential. These records include, but are not limited to, circulation records of library materials, address and other registration information. This information, however, may be consulted and used by library staff in the course of carrying out library business.
