Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, that query is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. Wood County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy policy and terms control its handling of a query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to review and reply to it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive ordinary technical details when a page is requested. This information helps operate the service, measure performance, and diagnose problems.
- Your internet protocol address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is provided.
- Request dates and times.
Cookie Settings
Cookies and similar tools help us understand site use. You may block or remove cookies through your browser settings, though some site functions may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
We use the information described above to operate and improve the site, not to create official arrest, booking, or court records.
- Maintain a functioning, responsive site.
- Route a search request to the applicable partner service.
- Understand which material readers find useful.
- Detect and correct technical faults or misuse.
- Deliver advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Linked Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to official Sheriff, Jail, court, corrections, and public-records resources, as well as third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, that destination's privacy policy governs its collection and use of information. We do not control its content, uptime, or data practices.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across sites and to deliver interest-based advertising. That activity occurs under those partners' systems and policies, not under this site's direct control.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be available to the following recipients when needed for the functions described in this policy.
- Search partners that process a query submitted through their tool.
- Analytics providers that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertisements.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard measures intended to protect information under our control. No internet-connected system can promise complete security, however, and no method of transmission or storage is guaranteed to be breach-proof.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and is not designed for people under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a minor. If you believe a minor sent us information, contact us so that we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Information Choices
You may ask about information that we hold from a direct message or other interaction with us.
- Request a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate direct-contact information.
- Request deletion of information, subject to lawful retention needs.
- Ask to opt out of certain processing where that option is available.
This private policy does not change procedures for records held by public offices. Requests to a Wisconsin authority are governed by the Wisconsin Public Records Law, Wis. Stat. ยงยง 19.31-19.39, including the custodian's disclosure and redaction decisions.
Policy Revisions
We may revise this Privacy Policy as our practices or legal obligations change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to the revised policy.
