Information You Send Directly
Search-form entries, such as a name, telephone number, or address, are sent to the third-party service that produces the result. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains the information included in that message and is used to answer the inquiry.
Data Collected by Normal Operation
Like most hosted services, the site may create ordinary server logs containing an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We use aggregated information to maintain the service and understand general usage. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement where used.
How Limited Data Is Used
Limited data helps operate the service, diagnose faults, measure general traffic, and improve the reference material. We do not sell lists of visitors or build individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
Links may lead to Platte County and Nebraska portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search services. Information submitted after leaving this service is governed by the outside organization’s policy. The same is true for sponsored search results supplied by another company.
Who Can Process Data
Hosting and support providers may process server-log data on our behalf. Analytics or advertising providers can receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information when required by valid legal process and otherwise do not share it beyond these operational uses.
Safeguards
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. There are no visitor accounts, passwords, or member profiles maintained by Columbus Residents Directory.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has provided information, and we will delete it.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data a service keeps. Because this reference retains very little, a request generally involves checking the contact mailbox and available server logs, then removing applicable information. Use the Contact page to ask. Nebraska, Platte County, and Columbus public records are controlled by their custodians, not by this service; correction or removal questions for those records belong with the office that holds them.
Policy Updates
Changes to this policy will appear here. Continued use after an update means acceptance of the revised policy.
