Privacy Policy

This policy describes the visitor information collected by Sarpy County Criminal History, why that information is used, and the limited circumstances in which another service may receive it. Accessing or using the website signifies acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log or store those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It is kept within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Loading a page can automatically provide the server with basic technical and usage details:

  • The IP address assigned to your device
  • Which browser you are using and its version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The time attached to each page view
  • The referring website, when one is supplied
  • Pages viewed and the length of each visit

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help measure such patterns as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics vendors may combine that traffic information for reporting. A browser can reject cookies, although disabling them may change how some features behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Routing a search request to the selected partner service
  • Maintaining site availability and page speed
  • Finding and correcting technical faults
  • Measuring which content is useful or needs improvement
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not build, retain, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The content identifies official Sarpy County and Nebraska sources, including the Sheriff, court clerks, Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not combined into a consumer report or a third-party dossier, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their own privacy terms govern information submitted there, including retention and sharing decisions beyond our control. Review the applicable provider policy before entering a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to a sheriff, court, Nebraska agency, legal resource, or outside search service. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy rules apply. Check those rules before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted advertisements.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:

  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
  • Search partners processing a query
  • Advertising networks serving content on the pages
  • A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected information. No internet service can promise absolute security, so these measures cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If a minor's information is identified, a deletion request may be submitted.

Your Data Rights

Your location may provide additional privacy or consumer rights. Nebraska government criminal records are separately governed by the Nebraska Public Records Law and the dissemination limits in Neb. Rev. Stat. §29-3523; those laws do not turn this private site into a government records custodian. At a minimum, a visitor may:

  • Request a copy of personal information held about them
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
  • Seek deletion of personal information
  • Decline certain forms of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. A replacement takes effect when it is posted here with an updated date, so visitors should review it from time to time.

Effective date: July 31, 2026
