Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a name, county, or location is typed into a search tool supplied by a third-party provider, the query is sent to that provider so it can process the search. This site does not store those search terms in its own record system.
Messages
If a visitor emails or sends a message about the site, the submitted contact details and message content may be kept long enough to review and respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information during a visit, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, remember technical preferences, support ads, and measure performance. A browser can block or delete cookies, but some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the website available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Monroe County jail, court, DOC, and locator pages are useful.
- To detect errors, abuse, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be related to a visitor's interests.
Outside Links and Services
The site links to sheriff and jail pages, WCCA, Wisconsin DOC, VINELink, federal locators, public-record resources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination website's privacy policy and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking is handled on the partner's systems, not as an official Monroe County record.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a mailing list or inmate-record product. It may be received by limited service providers or authorities in these situations:
- Search partners that process visitor-entered queries.
- Analytics services that measure site traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No website, server, email system, or internet-connected service can be promised as fully secure or immune from unauthorized access.
Visitors Under 18

Your Choices and Requests
- Ask for a copy of personal information this site holds, if any.
