Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of the content. Accessing any part of the website signals acceptance of the terms below. Do not continue to use the site if you disagree with them.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with Iowa County, Wisconsin, or any government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). It is a records-reference resource, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not store official records, submit filings, retrieve case files, or perform official checks.

Its role is to identify the Iowa County sheriff, circuit court, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry, and other official custodians. Some pages also connect visitors with outside search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Users agree not to:

  • Interfere with the website or keep others from using it
  • Run automated scraping, bot, or extraction tools against the pages
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
  • Use the content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
  • Violate any applicable federal, Wisconsin, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No person may use the site or a linked tool to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate. Misuse may also violate the law. Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry information is provided for community safety, not retaliation, vigilantism, or discriminatory decisions.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce a credit report, background check, or consumer report. The site and its advertising partners do not offer tools designed to evaluate an applicant, renter, borrower, or insured person. Information from these pages or linked tools must not be used to:

  • Make any other decision governed by the FCRA
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Assess creditworthiness or insurance eligibility
  • Evaluate housing or rental eligibility
  • Make an employment decision

A check for a regulated purpose must come from an authorized, FCRA-compliant provider or the appropriate official Wisconsin process.

5. No Legal Advice

The content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Wisconsin attorney can advise how an Iowa County charge, warrant, conviction, or expungement rule affects a particular situation.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are provided "as is." No promise is made that:

  • An outside search result is complete or correct
  • The pages contain no error, defect, or security weakness
  • Access will always be uninterrupted
  • Every item is complete, accurate, and current

Charges, dispositions, restrictions, and official procedures can change. Gaps are possible, and no page should be treated as an official statement from the Iowa County sheriff, a court, or another government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to a sheriff, court, state agency, legal organization, or outside service. We do not control the destination's content, availability, data practices, or charges. Review its own terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Iowa County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or adapted without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage arising from use of the website, its content, or any linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from a claim, demand, or action caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

Wisconsin law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with use of the website must be brought in a court located in Wisconsin.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised, and an updated version becomes effective when posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as far as needed for enforcement.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions can be submitted through the Contact page.
