Privacy Policy

This policy describes the visitor data associated with Morrill County Criminal History, why it is used, and when an outside provider may receive it. By using the site, you accept the practices stated below.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its result. Morrill County Criminal History does not keep or log those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It is not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, the servers receive routine technical details about that visit:

  • The IP address assigned to your device
  • Which browser you are using and its version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
  • The site that sent you here, if any
  • Timestamps for each page view

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help measure traffic, popular pages, and points where visits end. Analytics providers combine that usage data. A browser can reject cookies, although some functions may then work differently.

What We Do With This Data

  • Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
  • Sending your search requests to the right partner service
  • Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
  • Tracking down and fixing technical issues
  • Showing ads that may line up with your interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

Morrill County Criminal History does not keep, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It provides general directions to records held by the Morrill County Sheriff, the county courts, Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports about other people.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by that provider’s privacy policy, retention rules, and sharing practices, not by this policy. Review those terms before running a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Morrill County offices, Nebraska courts, state agencies, or outside services. Once a visitor follows one, the destination’s privacy terms govern. Read them before providing personal details.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across sites 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:

  • Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
  • Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
  • Ad networks that place ads on our pages
  • Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security practices protect collected data. No internet system is immune from every failure, so absolute security or freedom from a breach cannot be promised.

Users Under 18

The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A verified report of such data will be handled with a deletion request.

Your Data Rights

Nebraska’s Public Records Statutes govern access to records held by public bodies, while Neb. Rev. Stat. §29-3523 limits dissemination of specified criminal history. Those laws do not turn this private site into a government custodian. Subject to applicable law and verification, a visitor may:

  • Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
  • Have us fix information that is wrong
  • Request that we erase your data
  • Opt out of certain kinds of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. A new version becomes available here with its updated effective date.

Effective date: July 31, 2026
