Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered into a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that feature. 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 sent to us so that our team can respond. It is not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems receive routine technical details when a page loads, including:
- Page-view dates and times
- Pages viewed and the length of each visit
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- Your device's IP address
- A referring website, when one supplied the visit
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help measure traffic, popular pages, and where visits end. Analytics providers combine those use patterns for us. You may block cookies through browser controls, although doing so can change how parts of the site work.
What We Do With This Data
- Sending a query to the selected search partner
- Operating and improving site speed and availability
- Finding and repairing technical faults
- Measuring which pages are useful or need improvement
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site explains how to find Box Butte County material held by the sheriff, the courts, 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. Visitor data is not compiled into consumer reports or third-party criminal-history files. Nebraska's criminal-history dissemination statute governs what defined non-conviction data appears in the public State Patrol product, not a database hosted here.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their own privacy terms govern any information entered there. Each company sets its retention and sharing rules, which are beyond our control. Read the applicable policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Box Butte County offices, Nebraska courts and agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Once you follow an outbound link, the other site's privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.
Some advertising companies may track activity across websites for targeted ads. That process occurs through their services rather than ours.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Information may be available to:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search partners that process a query
- Advertising networks serving ads on the pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Standard safeguards are used for information we collect. No internet service can promise perfect security, however, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary by location and applicable law. Nebraska's Public Records Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §84-712, concerns access to government records and does not turn this private site into a public records custodian. Subject to the law that applies, you may:
- Request deletion of eligible personal data
- Ask what personal data we hold about you
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Opt out of eligible forms of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any new version will appear here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
Effective date: July 31, 2026
