Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query under its own policy. We do not keep a separate site log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained as needed to prepare and track a reply. It is not shared beyond the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Routine server logs can collect technical details when a page loads:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and analytics services help measure page traffic and broad use patterns. Browser controls can block cookies, although disabling them may change how some functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
No database of personal criminal records is hosted, assembled, or sold here. The content identifies official Calumet County and Wisconsin custodians, including the sheriff, Circuit Court, Crime Information Bureau, and Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not used to create third-party dossiers or consumer reports. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes and apply their own privacy, retention, and sharing rules to submitted data. Those rules are beyond our control. Review the provider's policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to public agencies, court systems, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Check it before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs under the advertiser's practices.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable safeguards protect collected data, but no internet service can promise perfect security. A breach, loss, or unauthorized access remains possible despite those measures.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults, and personal information is not knowingly collected from anyone under 18. A verified request concerning a minor's submitted data will be handled promptly.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary by residence and the law that applies. Wisconsin Public Records Law, Wis. Stat. §§ 19.31-19.39, governs access to Wisconsin government records, while Wis. Stat. § 165.83 governs the state's criminal-identification system. Those laws do not turn this private site into a public custodian. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A new effective date will appear with any posted update.
