Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered into a search box is sent to the provider operating that tool. We do not keep or log those search terms as a court-record database.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you contact us, we retain the message as needed to respond and manage the communication. We do not share it outside the organization except when required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, our systems may collect technical visit details, including an IP address, browser and device information, referring source, pages viewed, page-view timing, and performance information.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics tools may help measure site use and technical performance. Browser settings can limit cookies, though some site features may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and contact information may be used to operate and protect the site, route a search request to its provider, understand aggregate use, resolve errors, and support advertising that helps operate the resource.
No Court-Record Data on File
Otoe County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of Otoe County court dockets or personal case records. Nebraska court access is governed by Nebraska Court Rule §1-805 and related court rules, while the Nebraska Public Records Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§84-712 to 84-712.09, supplies a public-records framework subject to court-specific restrictions. Court records should be requested from the clerk or official court system that holds them.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search widgets are operated by outside providers. Information submitted to a provider is handled under that provider's policy and practices, which may differ from this policy. Review the provider's terms and privacy information before entering data.
Links to Other Websites
Links to the Nebraska Judicial Branch, Otoe County, clerk pages, Nebraska JUSTICE, and other resources open sites we do not control. Their privacy terms govern information shared after leaving this site. Advertising partners may also collect information through their own systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information can be processed by search providers for a submitted query, analytics services for performance measurement, advertising networks serving the site, or government bodies when a valid legal requirement applies.
How We Protect Your Data
We use reasonable operational and technical safeguards for the information we handle. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If information from a child is believed to have been provided, contact us so it can be addressed.
Your Data Rights
The Nebraska Public Records Act concerns access to public records; it does not make this private site a court-record custodian or override Nebraska Court Rule §1-805, sealing orders, or confidentiality statutes. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may ask about information directly provided to us, request correction of inaccurate contact information, or request deletion where retention is not required.
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy as site operations or applicable requirements change. The revised policy is effective when posted here.
Effective date: August 29, 2026
