Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log of the terms entered through those search controls.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, the message may be retained to prepare and document a response. It is kept within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive routine technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view dates, times, duration, and pages visited
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- Internet Protocol address
- A referring site, when one is supplied
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on a device. They and analytics services help aggregate traffic patterns, such as popular pages and common exit points. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although a feature may work differently after they are blocked.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a search request to the selected partner
- Maintain reliable and responsive pages
- Find and repair technical faults
- Measure which resources visitors use
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Oconto County guidance identifies official custodians such as the Sheriff's Office, Wisconsin Circuit Court, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, and Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not compiled into a consumer report or a third-party criminal-history file. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the search tools. Their own privacy terms control the information submitted to them, including retention and disclosure practices. We do not set those rules. Review the provider's policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to county departments, Wisconsin agencies, courts, legal resources, or outside search services. Once you leave this domain, the destination's policy applies. Read it before providing personal data.
Advertising companies may use their systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their tracking does not operate under this policy.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed to:
- Analytics providers that measure use and performance
- Search providers that process a query you submit
- Advertising networks serving content on these pages
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected information. No internet system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that an intrusion, loss, or unauthorized disclosure will never occur.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such information is identified, it will be removed.
Your Data Rights
Rights can differ by residence and governing law. Wisconsin Public Records Law, Wis. Stat. §§ 19.31-19.39, governs records held by public authorities, while Wis. Stat. §§ 165.83-165.84 address state criminal-identification records and their handling. Those laws do not turn this private site into an Oconto County record custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request deletion where the law permits it
- Ask what personal information is held about you
- Seek correction of inaccurate personal information
- Object to certain processing when an applicable law provides that choice
