Privacy Policy

This policy describes information collected during a visit, the reasons it may be used, and the limited situations in which it may reach another service. Continued use of Holt County Criminal History indicates acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

Names or locations entered in a search tool are sent to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its result. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

A message sent by email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. It is not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.

Data We Gather Automatically

Ordinary server and analytics logs may collect technical information when a page loads:

  • Device IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Operating system and device category
  • Pages viewed and approximate visit length
  • Referring website, when available
  • Date and time of each request

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files that help measure traffic and site use. Analytics may combine visits into reports showing popular pages or common exit points. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some functions behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Operate, secure, and improve page performance
  • Pass a submitted query to its selected search provider
  • Measure which material is useful to visitors
  • Find and repair technical problems
  • Support advertising that may reflect general interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not build, keep, or sell a database of personal Holt County criminal records. The resource describes how to approach the Holt County Sheriff, County Court, District Court, Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report, and this resource is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the embedded search tools. Their privacy statements, retention schedules, prices, and sharing rules apply to information submitted through those tools. Review the provider’s current policy before sending a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Holt County offices, Nebraska court portals, state agencies, legal resources, or outside search providers. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s policy governs the visit and any submitted information.

Some advertising services may measure activity across multiple websites to select advertisements. That processing occurs on their systems.

Who Might See Your Data

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

  • The search provider chosen for a submitted query
  • Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
  • Advertising networks delivering page advertisements
  • Government or law-enforcement authorities responding to valid legal process

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security practices are used for information under our control. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so protection against every loss, breach, or misuse cannot be promised.

Users Under 18

This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Information known to have been provided by a minor will be removed when identified.

Your Data Rights

Nebraska Public Records Statutes, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§84-712 through 84-712.09, govern access to government records and do not turn this private resource into a county custodian. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:

  • Request access to personal information held directly by us
  • Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected
  • Request deletion of information that need not be retained
  • Use available controls to limit certain processing

Updates to This Policy

Revisions take effect when the updated policy and its new effective date are posted here. Visitors should review the current version when privacy practices matter to them.
