Information You Provide
Search Queries
When a name or location is entered in a search feature, the query is transmitted to the third-party provider operating that feature. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. That provider’s privacy terms apply to information it receives through its tool.
Messages and Requests
If you send us an email or a message through a contact feature, we may retain the information needed to respond. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to protect rights, safety, or the site.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical information as a page is requested. This helps us understand whether the site is working and how it is being used.
- The internet protocol address used to reach the site.
- Browser type, version, and language settings.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the approximate time spent on them.
- The referring page or site, if one was supplied.
- Request dates and times.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to measure traffic, remember basic preferences, and understand site use. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some site features may then work differently.
How We Use Information
We use available information to operate and improve this Dawes County reference site and to make its search features available.
- Maintain, secure, and improve site performance.
- Send a submitted query to the relevant partner service.
- Understand which pages visitors find useful.

Other Sites and Advertising
The site may link to official sheriff, court, corrections, and public-record pages, as well as partner tools. Once you follow an external link, the receiving site’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Those practices are governed by the partner’s terms and controls, not by this notice.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may nevertheless be processed or disclosed in the limited situations below.
- Search partners that process a query entered in their tool.
- Analytics providers that help measure site operation.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Law enforcement or another government body when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, so we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, changed, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, use Get in Touch so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
