Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is transmitted to the outside company that operates that 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
An email sent to us may be retained so we can answer it. We keep the message within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a visitor loads a page, servers may automatically receive these technical details:
- Page-view dates, times, and duration
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- Device type and operating system
- IP address assigned to the device
- Browser name and version
- Pages viewed during the visit
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and analytics services help combine traffic information, such as popular pages and common exit points. Browser controls can block cookies, although disabling them may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Sending a query to the partner tool selected by the visitor
- Maintaining reliable, responsive site operation
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Measuring which resources visitors use
- 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 reach Webster County Sheriff, the county courts, the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not compiled into consumer reports or third-party criminal histories, and this operation is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted through one of those tools falls under that provider's privacy policy. The provider, not us, establishes its retention and sharing rules. Review those terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Webster County offices, Nebraska agencies, courts, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy rules apply. Review them before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and tailor ads. We do not operate that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed to these categories of recipients:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Advertising networks that serve page ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal requirement
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet-connected system can guarantee absolute security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary by residence and applicable law. Nebraska's Public Records Law, §84-712 governs requests to public offices, while §29-3523 limits public dissemination of specified criminal-history information. Those laws do not make this private site a government custodian. Subject to the law that applies to a particular request, you can:
- Request deletion of qualifying personal data
- Ask to see qualifying information held about you
- Correct inaccurate qualifying data
- Opt out of certain processing when the law provides that choice
