Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered into a search tool is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the request and returns its response. Phelps County Court Docket does not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to this resource may be retained to answer the message or administer the service. It is not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, hosting and analytics systems can receive technical visit information such as:
- 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 that help measure aggregate use, including which pages receive traffic and where visitors leave. Browser settings may block cookies, although some site functions can then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating, securing, and improving site performance
- Routing a search request to its selected provider
- Understanding aggregate use of Phelps County court-reference pages
- Diagnosing errors and service problems
- Supporting advertising that may be interest-based
No Court-Record Data on File
This resource does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of Phelps County case files or personal court-record information. It identifies the official routes for records held by the Phelps County Court clerk magistrate, the Clerk of the District Court, and Nebraska court services. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes on this site. Information entered there is governed by each provider's privacy policy and its own retention and sharing practices. Review the provider's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Phelps County, Nebraska Judicial Branch, clerk, court, and third-party provider pages. A different site's policy controls once a visitor leaves this resource, so review it before disclosing personal information.
Some advertising partners can conduct cross-site activity measurement or interest-based advertising through their own systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Information can be disclosed 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
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information collected by the resource. No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security or the absence of an unauthorized access event.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact the site if a minor's information appears to have been submitted so it can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.
Your Data Rights
Requests concerning personal information held by this resource may be sent through the contact route. Nebraska's public court-record access rules are distinct from this policy: Neb. Rev. Stat. § 84-712 and Neb. Ct. R. §§ 1-804 and 1-805 govern public-record access subject to court-specific restrictions. At a minimum, a visitor may ask to:
- 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 updated as the service changes. The revised text will be posted here with a new effective date.
