NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no connection to a local, Wisconsin, or federal government body. Neither the website nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for employment, credit, tenant, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). It is a reference for Waushara County, Wisconsin record sources, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site that operates independently from government. It does not host official criminal records, retrieve them for visitors, perform official checks, or submit documents.
Its role is to identify custodians and sources, including Waushara County Sheriff's Records, Wisconsin Circuit Court Access, the Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, and the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect visitors with outside search tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Use automated bots, crawlers, or scrapers against the website
- Violate a federal, Wisconsin, or local law
- Gain or attempt unauthorized access to any system
- Use information to stalk, intimidate, threaten, or harass a person
- Rely on site content for housing, employment, credit, or insurance decisions
- Interfere with performance or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
You may not use information from this website or a linked service to threaten, stalk, harass, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate the law. The restriction is especially important for Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry data maintained under Wis. Stat. § 301.45. Registry information supports public safety awareness. It does not authorize vigilantism, harassment, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or official background checks. Our advertising partners and this website do not offer services designed to evaluate applicants, renters, insurance risk, or credit. You may not use site or linked-tool data to:
- Evaluate eligibility for a license, permit, or public program
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Assess a renter or housing applicant
- Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
A check needed for one of those purposes must come through an authorized, FCRA-compliant process. Wisconsin DOJ's Crime Information Bureau also controls official Wisconsin criminal-history channels subject to applicable law.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. We cannot determine how a warrant, conviction, charge, or Wisconsin expungement rule applies to an individual case. Consult a Wisconsin-licensed attorney for legal guidance.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are provided "as is." We make no promise that:
- Partner search results are complete or correct
- Information remains accurate, current, and complete
- The website will operate without interruption
- Pages contain no error, defect, or security weakness
Criminal records change as charges are filed, amended, dismissed, or expunged. Gaps and delays can occur. Content here is never an official statement from the sheriff, a court, Wisconsin DOJ, or another government office.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to sheriff, court, Wisconsin agency, legal aid, and outside search websites. We do not control their content, data practices, charges, or availability and accept no responsibility for them. Review the destination's terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Waushara County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. You may not reproduce, distribute, alter, or make derivative works from that material without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the greatest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from use of the website, including reliance on information here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal proceedings caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.
11. Governing Law
Wisconsin law governs these terms. Any dispute related to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Wisconsin.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A revision becomes effective when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may suspend or end access at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
