Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar detail into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own database of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we may keep the information needed to read, route, and answer it. Those messages are not shared outside the organization except when a valid legal requirement applies.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when a page loads or a visitor moves between pages.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed along.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to measure site use and support basic site functions. You can block cookies in your browser, but some features, analytics, or ad settings may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How Data Is Used
- To keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Trempealeau County jail and inmate pages are useful.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To display ads that may be more relevant to visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to public resources such as the Trempealeau County inmate locator, Sheriff's Office pages, Wisconsin Circuit Court Access, Wisconsin DOC Locator, VINE, BOP, ICE, and third-party research tools. Wisconsin public-record access is shaped in part by Wis. Stat. 19.31 and 19.35, but once you click through, the privacy policy of that outside site controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. That tracking occurs on partner systems, not in a county jail record database controlled by this site.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be received by the following parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics services that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Data Security
Reasonable security practices are used for this site. No internet-connected website, email system, analytics service, or third-party search tool can be guaranteed to be breach proof.
