Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected when someone uses Johnson County Criminal History, the purposes for which it is used, and the limited situations in which others may receive it. By continuing to browse or use a feature on this website, you agree to the practices stated below.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

When you email us, we retain the message as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our servers receive basic technical information when a page loads, including:

  • Page-view dates and times
  • Your device's assigned IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Operating system and device category
  • Pages viewed and the time spent on them
  • A referring website, when one is supplied

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files saved on a device. We use them with analytics services to understand traffic in aggregate, such as which pages are visited most and where visits tend to end. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although blocking them may change how some website features work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Finding and correcting performance or technical problems
  • Operating the website and improving load speed
  • Routing a search request to the selected partner
  • Measuring which resources are useful and which need revision
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect user interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Our content identifies how Johnson County records may be requested from the sheriff, the County and District Courts, the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is not compiled into a consumer report or a criminal record about another person.

Third-Party Search Partners

Independent companies operate the search tools shown on this website. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and sharing rules govern information submitted to them. We do not control those practices, so review the provider's policy before running a search.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Johnson County offices, Nebraska courts and agencies, legal-aid resources, or outside search providers. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal details.

Advertising companies may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising. We do not operate that cross-site tracking.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed to:

  • Analytics vendors that measure traffic and site performance
  • Search providers processing a query you choose to submit
  • Advertising networks that place ads on these pages
  • A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order

How We Protect Your Data

We use standard safeguards for information in our control. No internet system can be guaranteed secure, however, and we cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

This website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor submitted such data, we will delete it.

Your Data Rights

Rights may differ by residence and applicable law. Nebraska's Public Records Statutes, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§84-712 through 84-712.09, govern access to government records, while Neb. Rev. Stat. §29-3523 limits public dissemination of specified criminal-history information. Those laws do not turn this private website into a government records custodian. Subject to the law that applies to a request, you may:

  • Request access to personal data we hold about you
  • Ask that inaccurate personal data be corrected
  • Seek deletion of personal data where required
  • Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that choice

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. A revised version will appear here with an updated effective date, so review this page for current practices.

Effective date: July 31, 2026
