Information You Choose to Send
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, or other detail into a search tool on this site, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not keep a separate site-side log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information you provide to read, route, and answer that message. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical details when a page loads or a browser requests a file.
- Your IP address.
- The browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when your browser sends one.
- Date and time stamps tied to site activity.
Cookies
Cookies and similar browser storage may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics tools. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the website available, readable, and responsive.
- To send search requests to the correct outside search partner when you use those tools.
- To understand which Marathon County jail, court, and facility pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose broken pages, slow loading, spam, or technical errors.
- To display advertising that may be related to a visitor's interests.
Other Websites
This site links to official jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, public-records forms, state and federal locators, and private search services. After you leave this site, the other website's own privacy policy and terms control what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize visits across different websites and show interest-based ads. That tracking happens through the partner's technology, not through an official Marathon County system.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by these limited categories of recipients when needed for site operation or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public information website, but no internet-connected service can be promised to be completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, outages, or data loss will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we maintain about you.
- Request correction of information you believe is wrong.
- Ask us to delete information when retention is not required.
- Opt out of certain processing where an opt-out is available.
