Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside provider that operates the tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain a message sent by email so it can be answered. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers may automatically receive basic technical details about the visit:
- Page-view timestamps
- Your device's assigned IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
Cookies and Analytics
This website uses cookies, which are small files saved on a device. They help show traffic patterns, such as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics services combine visit data for that purpose. You can block cookies through browser settings, although doing so may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a submitted query to the appropriate search partner
- Operating the website and maintaining page performance
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Understanding which resources visitors use most
- 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. Stanton County record information remains with custodians such as the sheriff, County Court, District Court, Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. The site publishes general directions for reaching those sources. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information entered there is governed by the provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its retention, processing, and disclosure practices. Review those terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Stanton County Sheriff, Nebraska courts, state agencies, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use activity across websites to select targeted ads. Their systems, not ours, conduct that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed to a limited set of recipients:
- Analytics services that measure traffic and performance
- Search providers that process a query you submit
- Advertising networks that place ads on pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when valid legal process requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security measures are used to protect collected information. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, however. We take reasonable safeguards but cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary with the law that applies where you live. Nebraska's Public Records Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§84-712 through 84-712.09, governs records held by public bodies, while criminal-history dissemination is separately addressed by Neb. Rev. Stat. §29-3523. Those government-record laws do not turn this private website into a public custodian. You may still ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete personal data where applicable law permits
- Honor an available opt-out from certain processing
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may be revised. Any new version will appear here with an updated effective date, so visitors can review changes in how information is handled.
Effective date: July 31, 2026
