Search Terms
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Wisconsin Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If a visitor sends a message, the information in it is kept so we can review and reply. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Data and Cookies
When a page loads, standard server or analytics tools may collect technical details such as:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages opened and time spent on each page.
- The referring website, when one is present.
- Page-load timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block or clear cookies through its settings, though some functions may behave differently after they are disabled.
How We Use Information
- Keep pages working and responsive.
- Send search requests to the provider that runs the selected tool.
- Understand which pages visitors use.
- Find and repair technical problems.
- Display ads that may reflect visitor interests.
Links and Outside Services
Links may lead to county jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, county information sites, news outlets, or third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy notice governs its handling of data.
Some advertising partners may track activity across more than one website for targeted ads. That activity takes place on the partner’s systems, not through a record database hosted here.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by the following services or authorities:
- Search partners that process a query.
- Analytics services that measure page use.
- Ad networks that place or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Measures
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information. No internet-connected system is fully secure, so this site cannot promise that data will never be accessed or exposed without authorization.

Choices About Your Data
