Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit to Holt County Criminal History, why it is used, and when another service may receive it. By continuing to use the website, you accept the practices stated here.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the input and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

We retain an email sent to us as needed to answer it. The message remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, the servers may record basic technical facts about that visit:

  • Page-view timestamps
  • Device type and operating system
  • Your assigned IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Visited pages and time spent on them
  • A referring website, when one supplied the visit

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and analytics services help aggregate traffic, such as popular pages and common exit points. Browser controls can block cookies, although disabling them may change how some site functions behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Routing a search request to the selected partner
  • Finding and repairing technical faults
  • Maintaining site operation and page speed
  • Understanding which pages visitors use
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site identifies how to reach the Holt County Sheriff's Department, Missouri courts, the Missouri State Highway Patrol CJIS repository, and the Missouri Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal profiles.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted through a box is governed by that provider's privacy policy. We do not control a partner's retention, processing, or sharing choices, so review its terms before entering a search.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to the Holt County government, Missouri Case.net, MSHP, other public agencies, legal-aid resources, or outside search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.

Advertising partners may use their systems to track activity across websites for targeted advertising. We do not operate that tracking.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:

  • Analytics services that measure traffic and performance
  • Search providers that process a query
  • Advertising networks that place site ads
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order

How We Protect Your Data

Standard security practices are used to protect collected data. No internet system can guarantee perfect security, however, and we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied data, we will delete it.

Your Data Rights

Rights may vary by residence. In Missouri, the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, Chapter 407 RSMo, supplies consumer-protection rules. The Missouri Sunshine Law, Chapter 610 RSMo, governs public government records, and §43.506 RSMo addresses criminal-history dissemination. Those public-record laws do not turn this private site into a government custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:

  • Request deletion of eligible data
  • Ask what personal data we hold about you
  • Seek correction of inaccurate information
  • Opt out of processing where applicable law supplies that right

Updates to This Policy

This privacy policy may be revised. A new version becomes available on this page with an updated effective date.

Effective date: July 30, 2026
