Information You Provide
Partner Search Entries
A name, place, or other term entered in a site search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's privacy terms apply to the query and any account or purchase it offers.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send a message through a site contact method, we keep the information you provide so that we can respond or address the request. We do not share message contents outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
When a browser loads a page, normal web operations may record limited technical information. This helps us maintain the site and understand general use patterns.
- The IP address used to make the request.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of the visit.
Cookie Choices
Cookies may be used to understand visitor activity and support site functions. Your browser can block or delete cookies, although some features may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
We use the limited information described above to operate and improve the service, not to maintain an official Adams County jail or court record.
- Operate the site and improve page performance.
- Send a search request to the appropriate partner service.
- Understand which reference material readers use.
- Diagnose and repair technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be based on interests.
Links Beyond This Site
The site links to official resources such as the Adams County iSOMS roster, the Sheriff's records office, the Wisconsin court search, the Wisconsin DOC locator, and federal or ICE custody services, along with partner tools. Once you follow a link, that other service's privacy policy governs its collection and use of your information.
Advertising partners may also collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their practices are not controlled by this site. The Wisconsin DOJ's Public Records Law overview explains government access rules, which are separate from this private site's privacy practices.
Limited Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to the following parties only when needed for the stated purpose or when a valid legal requirement applies.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable measures intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, so we cannot guarantee that data will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal information through a site contact method, notify us so that we can review and delete it when appropriate.
