Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its response. Perkins County Criminal History does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. Messages remain within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page can cause the servers to receive ordinary technical and usage details:
- Page-view dates and times
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Internet Protocol address
- Visited pages and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and analytics services help combine traffic information, such as popular pages and typical exit points. Browser controls can block cookies, although disabling them may change how some functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing faults and other technical problems
- Measuring which pages are useful or need revision
- Operating, securing, and improving website performance
- Routing a submitted search to the selected outside provider
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Perkins County Criminal History does not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Its content identifies official custodians, including Perkins County Sheriff, the county and district courts, NSP CID, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not turned into a consumer report or a file about another person, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure rules govern information entered in those tools. This policy does not control a partner's processing, so review the provider's terms before submitting data.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, sheriff pages, Nebraska agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their tracking is outside this site's control.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:
- Analytics vendors measuring use and performance
- Advertising networks serving content on the pages
- Search partners processing a query sent through their tool
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, however, and this website cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If information from a minor is identified, a request may be made for its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy or consumer-protection law may provide additional rights. The Nebraska Public Records Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§84-712 through 84-712.09, concerns records held by public bodies, while §29-3523 limits public dissemination of specified criminal-history events. Those government-record rules do not convert this private website into an official custodian. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request access to personal information held about the visitor
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Seek deletion where the law permits it
- Opt out of processing when an applicable law provides that choice
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 an updated effective date.
Effective date: July 31, 2026
