Information You Choose to Provide
Search Terms
When you enter a name, county, or other lookup detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or other message about the site, we may keep the information needed to read, route, and answer it. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when pages load, including:
- Your IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, if your browser provides one.
- Date and time stamps for visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser settings, though some tools or preferences may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How the Data Is Used
- To keep pages available, responsive, and secure.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Ashland County jail, court, and locator pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and performance issues.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Other Websites
This site links to sheriff and corrections pages, Wisconsin court resources, WI DOC, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and show interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their services, not through a government Ashland County record system.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be shared with the following parties when needed for the site to operate or when required by law:
- Search partners that process lookup requests.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and usage.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, so no absolute security promise is made.

This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so the material can be reviewed for deletion.
