Information You Submit

Search Entries

A name or location entered into a search feature is sent to the third-party provider that operates that feature. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages

We retain an email or contact-form message only as needed to respond. It is not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data and Cookies

Like most websites, the site may receive limited technical information when a page loads, including:

  • Your IP address.
  • Your browser and version.
  • Your device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
  • A referring site, when one is supplied.
  • Visit dates and times.

Cookies

Cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. You can block cookies through browser settings, although some features may function differently when cookies are disabled.


How Technical Data Is Used

We use the information described above for ordinary site operations, including the following purposes:

  • Operating and improving site performance.
  • Sending a search request to the relevant partner service.
  • Understanding which resources visitors find useful.
  • Finding and addressing technical problems.
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect interests.

External Sites and Public Records

The site links to official Sheriff, jail, court, corrections, and government resources, as well as third-party search tools. Wisconsin's public-records framework, including Wis. Stat. ยง 19.35, applies to inspection and copying of government records subject to its limits; it does not determine the privacy practices of this private site or any linked service. Once you leave this site, the other operator's privacy policy controls.

Some advertising partners may track activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems, not on ours.


Limited Sharing

We do not sell personal data. Information may be disclosed to the following parties when needed for the stated purpose:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query.
  • Analytics providers.
  • Advertising networks.
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
