Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered into a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates it. That provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log or copy of the search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained so our team can answer it. We do not disclose the message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive basic technical and activity details when a page loads:
- Page-view dates and times
- Visited pages and the time spent on them
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The referring website, when one is available
- The IP address used by the device
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and our analytics services help combine traffic data so we can see popular pages and common exit points. A browser can block cookies, though doing so may change how some website functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a query to the selected search provider
- Finding and repairing site errors
- Maintaining reliable and quick page delivery
- Assessing which content is useful or needs revision
- Displaying ads that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal-record information. Cherry County record guidance points to the sheriff, the trial-court clerks, the Nebraska State Patrol criminal-history repository, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not turned into consumer reports or dossiers about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure rules apply to data submitted through those tools. We do not control those practices, so review the provider's policy before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Cherry County government, Nebraska courts, state agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows one, the destination's privacy policy controls that visit. Read it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may track activity across websites to select ads. That activity occurs on the provider's systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be available to:
- Analytics vendors that measure site use and performance
- Search providers that process a submitted query
- Advertising networks that serve page ads
- Government or law enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Standard safeguards are used for data in our control. No internet system can be guaranteed fully secure, however, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. If we learn that a minor supplied personal data, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Nebraska privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights in addition to the choices listed here. The Nebraska Public Records Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§84-712 through 84-712.09, controls access to records held by Nebraska public bodies, while Neb. Rev. Stat. §29-3523 limits public dissemination of specified criminal-history entries. Those public-record laws do not make this private website a government custodian. At a minimum, you may:
- Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that choice
- Request deletion of personal data we hold
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Request a copy of personal data maintained about you
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A revised version will appear here with its new effective date, so visitors should return from time to time to review current practices.
Effective date: July 31, 2026
