Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, or location into a search box powered by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep a separate log of those search terms on its own server.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical details when a page loads. Those details help measure performance, diagnose errors, and understand how visitors move through Douglas County custody and record pages.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is passed by the browser.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site usage, support analytics, and help advertising or search partners operate their services. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the correct partner search service.
- To learn which Douglas County pages and record topics are useful to visitors.
- To identify broken links, technical errors, and security issues.
- To display advertising that may be more relevant to a visitor's interests.
Outside Websites and Public Records
This site links to Douglas County jail resources, sheriff pages, Nebraska Department of Correctional Services tools, NEVCAP, federal locators, court resources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination website control.
Some linked government records may be available under Nebraska public-records law, including Neb. Rev. Stat. 84-712 and 84-712.01, while criminal-history records and mugshot access may have limits under Neb. Rev. Stat. 29-3520, 29-3521, and 29-3523. Those laws govern agency records, not this site's analytics or advertising data.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to recognize activity across different websites. That tracking occurs through the partner's systems, not through a custody record held by this site.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a mailing list or standalone data product. It may be handled by the following parties when needed for the site to operate.
- Search partners that process queries entered into their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or other legal process requires a response.
Security
Reasonable technical and administrative practices are used to protect information handled by this site. No internet-connected service can be made completely secure, so this Privacy Notice does not promise that a breach or unauthorized access can never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a request may be made to delete it.
Your Data Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information held by this site.
- Request correction of information that is inaccurate.
- Ask that personal information be erased, when deletion is legally and technically available.
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that right.
Policy Updates
This Privacy Notice may be revised from time to time. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date when changes are made.
