Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or related detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own inmate-record database.
Messages and Emails
If you email or submit a contact message, the information you send may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical details when pages load.
- IP address used for the visit.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when a browser sends that information.
- Date and time stamps for visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic preferences, and measure how visitors move through the pages. You can block cookies in your browser, but some features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Jackson County record pages are useful.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, performance issues, and abuse.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Other Websites
This site links to county jail pages, sheriff records resources, Wisconsin court and DOC portals, federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits or show interest-based ads across multiple websites. That activity is handled on their systems, not as a Jackson County public-records function.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a public-records product. It may be disclosed to the following parties when needed.
- Search partners that process visitor-entered queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that support site operation.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure under Wisconsin law, including public-records and legal-process rules such as Wis. Stat. 19.35.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No website, email system, analytics platform, or partner search tool can be promised as completely secure or breach-proof.
