Information You Submit
A name, location, or other detail entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. A message is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement compels disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Normal web systems may record technical and usage details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring page or site, when available; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the pages. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though some features may work differently afterward.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports routine site and service functions. It may be used to:
- operate the site and improve page speed;
- send a search request to the chosen partner;
- understand which resources visitors find useful;
- diagnose errors, abuse, and technical faults; and
- display advertising that may relate to a visitor’s interests.
Links to Other Services
Pages may link to Sheriff resources, court systems, corrections pages, public-record portals, custody locators, and outside search tools. After a visitor follows a link, that organization’s privacy notice controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising companies may measure activity across different sites to select ads. That tracking takes place through their systems and technologies, not as a Monona County government function.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold by this site. Limited information may be provided to:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver or assess ads; and
- law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order.
Data Security
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, however, and this site cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, a parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a person may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal information held by the site;
- correct inaccurate personal information;
- delete personal information; or
- opt out of certain processing where that right applies.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
