Privacy Policy

This policy describes information handled during a visit, the reasons it may be used, and the limited circumstances in which it may reach another service. Continued use of the website signals acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and returns its result. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email may be retained long enough to answer and manage the exchange. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Normal server operation can capture technical facts when a page loads, including:

  • Page-view dates and times
  • Browser name and version
  • Device and operating-system type
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent
  • A referring website, when supplied
  • The device's assigned IP address

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files that support traffic measurement, such as which pages draw visits and where sessions end. Analytics services aggregate that activity. A browser can block cookies, though some functions may then behave differently.

What We Do With This Data

  • Diagnosing errors and performance problems
  • Operating and delivering pages efficiently
  • Routing a search to the selected partner
  • Measuring which material visitors use
  • Supporting advertising that may reflect interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not maintain, compile, or sell a personal criminal-record database. Furnas County guidance points to the Sheriff, County Court, District Court, Nebraska State Patrol Central Repository, and Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not assembled into a third-party criminal record or a consumer report, and this resource is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies power the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention rules, and sharing practices apply to information submitted in those tools. Review the provider's policy before running a search because we do not control those choices.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Furnas County offices, Nebraska courts and agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls. Check it before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:

  • Analytics vendors that measure traffic and performance
  • Search providers that process a submitted query
  • Advertising networks that deliver page ads
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under valid legal process

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security practices are used for information in our control. No internet service can guarantee complete security, so an unauthorized access event cannot be ruled out.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be removed when a valid request is received.

Your Data Rights

Nebraska privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights or remedies depending on the facts. You may also:

  • Request deletion of personal data we control
  • Ask what personal information we retain
  • Request correction of an inaccurate item
  • Object to certain processing where applicable

Updates to This Policy

Revisions will be posted here and identified by a new effective date. Review the current version when privacy practices matter to a visit.

Effective date: July 31, 2026
