Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool goes directly to the outside provider that operates it. That provider processes the request and supplies its result. We do not keep a site-side log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or contact submission as needed to respond. It stays within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive basic technical information when a page loads:
- 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 device files that help measure how visitors move through the site. Analytics services combine that activity to show traffic and page performance. A browser can block cookies, though some features 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
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Keith County material remains with the sheriff, County and District Courts, Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, and Nebraska Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or third-party criminal record, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and disclosure rules govern data submitted to them. Review a provider's policy before running a query because we do not control those practices.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Keith County offices, Nebraska agencies, court portals, legal resources, or outside search services. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before providing personal data.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to track activity across websites for targeted ads.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information can be available to:
- 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
We use standard safeguards for information we collect. No internet system is fully secure, so we cannot promise unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. We will delete such data when we learn it was submitted.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy law may provide additional rights. Nebraska Public Records Law, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§84-712 through 84-712.09, governs government-held records rather than private visitor data here. Criminal-history dissemination is separately limited by Neb. Rev. Stat. §29-3523. You 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
We may revise this policy. An updated version will appear here with a new effective date, and continued use will be governed by the posted policy.
Effective date: July 31, 2026
