Information You Provide
Search Queries
Names, locations, or other search terms typed into a search box are sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the message and contact details may be kept long enough to review and reply. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical data may be collected when a page loads. This helps keep the site functional, find broken pages, and understand which public-record topics are useful.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used for analytics, ads, and basic site operation. Browser settings can block cookies, though some search or advertising features may behave differently after blocking them.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available and loading properly.
- To route search requests to a partner search service.
- To understand which Oconto County records pages visitors use.
- To detect technical problems and fix them.
- To show ads that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
Links may point to sheriff pages, jail resources, court portals, Wisconsin DOC tools, federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search services. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's own privacy policy controls its data practices.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits or show interest-based ads across websites. Those systems are controlled by the partner, not by this site.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone customer list. It may be processed by limited service providers when needed for the site to work.
- Search partners that receive submitted search terms.
- Analytics services that measure traffic.
- Ad networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used for site operation, but no internet-connected service can be promised breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive information that is not needed for a simple question.
