Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. By continuing to use the website, you accept these privacy practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search tool is transmitted directly to the third-party company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its response. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

We retain an email message when needed to answer it. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our servers receive basic technical details when a page loads:

  • Page-view times and timestamps
  • Your device's assigned IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Operating system and device category
  • Visited pages and the time spent on them
  • A referring website, when one exists

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files that help show how visitors move through the website, including popular pages and exit points. Analytics providers combine that traffic information. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some features work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Routing a submitted search to the selected partner
  • Finding and correcting technical faults
  • Operating the website and maintaining page speed
  • Learning which content is useful or needs improvement
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not compile, maintain, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The content identifies how to request Garfield County records from the sheriff, the trial-court clerks, the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into third-party dossiers or consumer reports.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their own privacy policies control any information submitted through those tools, including retention and sharing choices. Review the applicable provider policy before running a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to courts, law-enforcement offices, Nebraska agencies, legal resources, or outside tools. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy terms apply. Check them before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed to:

  • Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
  • Search providers processing a query you submit
  • Advertising networks placing content on the pages
  • A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable, standard safeguards protect collected information. No internet service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Notice that a minor supplied data will be handled with a deletion request.

Your Data Rights

Rights can vary by residence. The Nebraska Public Records Act governs access to government records, while Neb. Rev. Stat. §29-3523 limits dissemination of specified criminal-history information. Those laws do not turn this private website into a government custodian. For data held directly by us, you may:

  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask what personal data is held about you
  • Seek deletion of your data
  • Object to certain forms of processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. A changed version becomes available here with its new effective date.

Effective date: July 31, 2026
