Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that powers the tool. Waukesha County Inmate Population does not keep a separate local log of those search terms on its own servers.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or other message connected with this site, the submitted details may be kept long enough to review the request and reply. Those messages are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law, court order, subpoena, or another valid legal process.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when pages load. That information can include:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- Referring page or website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand site usage, support analytics, improve performance, and help advertising systems work. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although parts of the site or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, functional, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the proper partner service when a visitor chooses to use a search tool.
- To understand which Waukesha County custody and record pages are useful to readers.
- To identify broken pages, technical errors, abuse, or security issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general browsing activity or interests.
Public Records and Linked Sources
Wisconsin's public-records policy, including Wis. Stat. 19.31 and Wis. Stat. 19.35, governs access to many records held by Wisconsin public offices. Those statutes do not make this private site the custodian of Waukesha County jail, sheriff, court, DOC, federal, or immigration records.
Links on this site may lead to jail roster pages, sheriff and corrections websites, court portals, Wisconsin DOC, VINELink, BOP, ICE, public-record resources, advertisers, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control. Advertising partners may also collect information across websites for ad measurement or interest-based advertising on their own systems.

- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks and ad technology providers.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order or legal obligation requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by this site. No internet-connected service can be promised as fully secure, so this site cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, data loss, errors, or interruptions will never occur.
