Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool is sent directly to the third-party provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, servers may collect these technical details:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on a device. They and analytics services help produce aggregate measures such as popular pages and exit points. A browser can block cookies, although doing so may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
No database of court dockets or personal case records is hosted, maintained, compiled, or sold here. The content identifies official routes to Shawano County records, including the Clerk of Circuit Court and Wisconsin Circuit Court Access. Public access to Wisconsin government records is addressed by Wis. Stat. section 19.35, subject to court confidentiality and sealing rules. This private website is not a consumer reporting agency, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case files.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies govern submitted queries, retention, and sharing. Those practices are beyond our control, so review the provider's policy before running a search.
Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to clerk of court pages, trial court portals, statewide case-search systems, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any personal details.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable standard security practices are used to protect collected data. No internet system is completely secure, however, and a breach-free service cannot be guaranteed.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has shared data with us, reach out and we'll delete it right away.
Your Data Rights
Privacy and consumer-protection law applicable where you live may provide additional rights. Subject to legal and operational limits, you may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
