Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, case number, or other query entered in a search tool is transmitted directly to the outside company operating that feature. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. This site does not retain or record those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Email messages are kept as needed to prepare and send a response. They remain within the operating team unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Every time a page on this site loads, our servers pick up some technical details about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies on this site. These are small files stored on your device that let us see how visitors use the site - which pages get the most traffic and where people tend to drop off. Analytics services help us aggregate that traffic data. Your browser settings let you block cookies whenever you want. Some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
This site does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case information. It provides general directions to Manitowoc County record custodians, the Wisconsin Circuit Court, and Wisconsin Circuit Court Access. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or profiles about other people, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes on this site are powered by outside companies. Anything you enter into those tools is processed under the partner's own privacy policy, not this one. Those partners set their own data-retention and sharing practices, and we do not control them. Review the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to clerk of court pages, trial court portals, statewide case-search systems, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any personal details.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security, so a breach-free result cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor may be submitted for deletion.
Your Data Rights
Wisconsin law, including the public access framework in Wis. Stat. § 19.35 and protected-identifier rules in Wis. Stat. § 801.19, governs official records held by courts and public offices. Those laws do not turn this private site into a court-record custodian. For information held by this site, you can:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any replacement will be posted here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review this page periodically for changes.
Effective date: September 7, 2026
