Information You Provide
Search Queries
When you enter a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool, the query is sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you email us or send a message, we keep the information needed to read, route, and answer it. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical information when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website or link, when available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site use, support analytics, and help advertising systems work. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may behave differently.
How Information Is Used
- Keep the site available, readable, and responsive.
- Send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- Understand which Sheboygan County pages and lookup topics are useful.
- Find broken links, errors, or technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be matched to visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department, Wisconsin DOC, Wisconsin courts, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy and data practices control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Sheboygan County government office.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by these categories of recipients.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics providers used to measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or similar legal process requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards for information handled through the site, but no internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof or always secure.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so it can be reviewed for deletion.
Your Choices and Rights
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold, if any.
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate.
- Request deletion of information where applicable.
- Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that right.
Public records held by Wisconsin agencies are controlled by those agencies and by laws such as Wis. Stat. 19.31 and 19.35. Requests to inspect, copy, correct, or challenge official jail, sheriff, court, or DOC records must go to the record custodian.
Policy Updates
This policy may be revised from time to time. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date when needed.
