Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is transmitted to the outside provider that operates that feature. The provider processes the request and supplies its result. Dundy County Criminal History does not keep a local log of the terms typed into those search boxes.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained long enough to review and answer it. Those messages remain within the organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
Normal server operations can record technical information when a page loads. That information may include:
- The device's internet protocol address
- Browser name, type, and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- A referring website, when available
- The date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that can help measure visits, popular pages, and points where users leave. Analytics providers may combine traffic measures so the website can be assessed as a whole. A browser can refuse cookies, though blocking them may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
Collected technical information supports routine operation and evaluation. It may be used for these purposes:
- Operating the website and improving load speed
- Routing a search request to the selected partner
- Understanding which pages visitors use
- Diagnosing errors and security problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Dundy County Criminal History does not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It provides general directions to records held by the Dundy County Sheriff, County and District Court clerks, the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a report about another person. The 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, retention periods, and sharing practices govern data submitted through those tools. Those policies are beyond our control, so visitors should review the applicable provider's terms before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Dundy County offices, Nebraska agencies, court systems, and outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link away from this domain, the destination's privacy policy controls the visit. Review that policy before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and choose ads. Any such tracking is performed on the advertising provider's systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be available to the parties needed to provide or maintain a feature:
- Search providers that process a submitted query
- Analytics companies that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place or assess advertisements
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, generally accepted safeguards are used for information within our control. No internet system can be guaranteed against every breach or misuse. Security measures reduce risk, but they cannot promise perfect protection.
Users Under 18
The website is directed to adults and does not knowingly seek personal data from anyone younger than 18. If information from a minor is identified, a deletion request may be made so it can be removed.
Your Data Rights
Rights can depend on a visitor's location and the law that applies. Nebraska's Public Records Act, including Neb. Rev. Stat. section 84-712, governs records held by public bodies, while section 29-3523 addresses dissemination of Nebraska criminal-history information. Those public-record rules do not turn visitor data held here into a government record. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Ask what personal data is held about them
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Seek deletion of information when available
- Object to or opt out of eligible processing
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A replacement version will appear here, and the effective date will be updated so visitors can identify the current terms.
Effective date: July 31, 2026
