Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is transmitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to respond. It is not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or necessary to address the message.
Technical Data and Cookies

- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.

Cookie choices
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the service. A browser can block or delete cookies, though doing so may change how some functions operate.
Why We Use Data
The limited information described above may be used for ordinary operation and improvement of the service.
- To keep pages available and functioning.
- To send a search request to the selected partner service.
- To learn which reference material visitors find useful.
- To diagnose and correct technical problems.
- To support advertising that may be interest-based.
Outside Services and Links
The site links to jail portals, court and corrections resources, sheriff pages, and third-party search tools. Once you follow a link, the destination's privacy terms control its collection and use of information. Wisconsin public-record requests, including those made under Wis. Stat. § 19.35, are handled by the responsible public custodian rather than this service.
Advertising providers can use their own systems to measure activity across websites and to select advertising. Those providers do not operate on behalf of this site.
Recipients of Information
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach the parties below when needed for the stated purpose.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers used to understand site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet-connected service can promise complete security. We cannot guarantee that every transmission or stored item will remain free from unauthorized access.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has sent personal information so that the issue can be reviewed and addressed.
