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. It also explains the separate role of outside search and advertising providers. By continuing to browse Boone County Criminal History or using a feature on it, you accept the practices stated here.

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 that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not retain or record those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

When you email us, we retain the message long enough to respond and manage the exchange. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our servers receive routine technical information when a page loads:

  • Your device's Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Operating system and device category
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring site, when supplied
  • Date and time information for page views

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files stored on a device. We use them with analytics services to understand traffic, popular pages, and where visits end. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some features work.

What We Do With This Data

Information is used only for ordinary site and service functions:

  • Operating the website and improving load performance
  • Passing a search request to the selected provider
  • Measuring which content visitors use
  • Finding and repairing technical faults
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not keep, assemble, or sell a personal criminal-record database. Boone County material published here explains how to reach the sheriff, Nebraska courts, the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not converted into a third-party criminal profile or consumer report. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by that provider's privacy policy, retention rules, and sharing practices. We do not control those policies. Review the provider's terms before running a search or supplying personal details.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Boone County offices, Nebraska courts, state agencies, registry services, legal resources, or commercial search providers. Once you leave this resource, the destination's privacy terms apply. Read them before providing personal information.

Some advertising companies may also measure activity across sites for interest-based ads. That processing takes place on their platforms rather than ours.

Who Might See Your Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data can be available to:

  • Search providers that process a query you submit
  • Analytics vendors used to measure traffic and performance
  • Advertising networks that place or measure ads
  • Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under a valid legal demand

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect information in our care. No online system can guarantee perfect security, however. We work to reduce risk but cannot promise that an unauthorized access event will never occur.

Users Under 18

This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If information from a minor is identified, it will be removed upon a verified request.

Your Data Rights

Nebraska's Public Records Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§84-712 through 84-712.09, governs access to government records, while §29-3523 limits dissemination of certain criminal-history entries. Those laws do not turn this private site into a government custodian. Other law that applies where you reside may permit you to:

  • Request a copy of personal data held about you
  • Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected
  • Seek deletion of eligible personal data
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A new version becomes available on this page and carries its current effective date.

Effective date: July 31, 2026
