Information You Choose to Provide
Search Entries
When a visitor enters a name, location, or other search term into a partner search tool, that request is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we use the information in that message to review and respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when a page loads.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and browser version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support advertising or analytics functions. Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked or deleted, but some features may work differently after that setting is changed.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, responsive, and usable.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Fond du Lac County pages are being used.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and performance issues.
- To display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Other Websites and Public Portals
This site links to sheriff pages, jail roster resources, Wisconsin court and DOC portals, VINE, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites or deliver interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by the Fond du Lac County offices referenced here.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to the following parties when needed for the site to operate or when law requires it.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup requests.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and usage.
- Advertising networks that help display ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable, standard safeguards for a small public information site. No internet-connected service can be made completely secure, so we cannot promise that information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information to us, a parent or guardian may ask that it be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we maintain about you.
- Ask that incorrect information be corrected.
- Request deletion of information where deletion is legally available.
- Opt out of certain processing when applicable law gives that right.
Policy Updates
This notice may be revised from time to time. Updated terms will be posted on this page with the revised effective version reflected by the page content.
