Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information connected with use of this private Winnebago County records reference, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, visitors accept these practices and should also review the privacy notices of outside services they choose to use.

Information You Submit

A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The site does not keep a separate log of those search terms. If you send an email or contact message, the information supplied may be retained to respond and manage the inquiry. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most websites, the service and its vendors may receive technical information as pages load.

  • Internet protocol address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • Referring page or service, when available.
  • Dates and times of visits.

Cookies and similar tools may help measure site use. Browser settings can limit cookies, although certain functions may then behave differently.


Why Data Is Used

Technical and submitted information may be used to operate and improve the reference, respond to messages, and keep the search connection functioning.

  • Maintain and secure the service.

  • Understand which pages people use.

Personal data is not sold as a standalone product. It can be disclosed to service providers when needed for the purposes above or when a valid legal requirement applies.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers.
  • Advertising networks.
  • Government or law-enforcement authorities responding to a valid legal order.

Security Measures

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, however, and transmission or storage is not guaranteed to be breach proof.
