NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The service only helps readers locate Ashland County and Wisconsin record resources. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no ties to a public office. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, performs government checks, or submits filings for a visitor.
Its role is to identify the Ashland County Sheriff, Wisconsin Circuit Court, Wisconsin Department of Justice Crime Information Bureau, Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry, and outside research tools that may hold or help locate relevant information.
2. Rules for Using This Site
As a condition of use, you must not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information found here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate. Misuse can violate the law. Wisconsin registry information requires special care under Wis. Stat. §§ 301.45 and 301.46. It exists for public-safety awareness and does not authorize vigilantism, blacklisting, or discriminatory action.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit, background, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners are not presented as sources for regulated screening. Data from this service or a linked tool may not be used to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
A regulated use requires a legally appropriate official or FCRA-compliant provider, not this service or its general search widget.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how an Ashland County charge, conviction, warrant, or Wisconsin expungement rule applies to an individual matter. Seek advice from a licensed Wisconsin attorney.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied “as is.” We make no warranty that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Charges, dispositions, restrictions, and expungement status can change. Gaps and delays are therefore possible. No page should be treated as an official statement from the sheriff, court, Wisconsin DOJ, or another public agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may point to sheriff, court, Wisconsin agency, legal-aid, or private search services that we do not operate. We are not responsible for their content, availability, prices, or data practices. Review each destination's own terms.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Ashland County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create a derivative work without written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of the site, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or actions caused by your use of the service or violation of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Wisconsin law governs these terms, and a dispute related to site use must be filed in a court located in Wisconsin. For context, Wis. Stat. §§ 19.31–19.39 govern public access to Wisconsin government records, while Wis. Stat. § 165.83 governs state criminal-history reporting.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A new version takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may restrict or end access at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in effect. The affected language will be changed only as much as needed for enforcement.
