Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information long enough to review it and respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a legal requirement, such as a subpoena or court order, requires disclosure.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical data when a page loads. That data helps maintain the site and understand how visitors move through pages about LCDC, NDCS, VINELink, and related records resources.
- Your IP address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps for visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to measure site use and support ordinary website functions. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, responsive, and usable.
- To pass search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Lancaster County jail, court, and locator pages are most useful.
- To identify and repair errors, broken pages, and performance issues.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Outside Links and Portals
This site links to jail rosters, Lancaster County pages, sheriff records resources, Nebraska court and corrections portals, VINELink, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the destination site's own privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking is handled on their platforms, not through records hosted here.

- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and performance.

- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires a response, including requests handled under applicable Nebraska law such as Neb. Rev. Stat. ยงยง84-712, 84-712.01, and 84-712.03.
Security Practices
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed against every risk. We cannot promise that any transmission, server, partner tool, or stored message is breach-proof.
