Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or related detail into a search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Brown County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email or submit a message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical information may be recorded when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when a browser provides it.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Brown County custody, court, and facility pages are useful.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, or performance problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Other Websites and Public Portals
This site links to Brown County jail pages, sheriff records resources, Wisconsin Circuit Court Access, Wisconsin DOC tools, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of that outside site control how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for ad selection or measurement. That tracking happens under the partner's technology and policy, not under a Brown County government system.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be available to limited parties that help operate or legally protect the site.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no website connected to the internet can be guaranteed breach-proof. Transmission, storage, and partner systems always carry some risk.
