NO FCRA USE. This is a privately run website with no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not offer a consumer report for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site only helps readers locate Ozaukee County and Wisconsin record resources. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation service.
1. What This Website Is
Ozaukee County Criminal History is an independent reference. It does not store official records, perform agency background checks, retrieve a file for a visitor, or submit paperwork.
Its content points to the Ozaukee County Clerk, Sheriff, municipal police departments, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, Wisconsin DOC, Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry, and selected outside tools. None of those offices or services operates this website.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, you agree not to:
- Violate federal, Wisconsin, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, harass, intimidate, or harm another person
- Use information for an FCRA-regulated decision
- Attempt unauthorized access to the website or its systems
- Deploy scrapers, bots, or automated collection tools
- Disrupt the service or interfere with another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information found here or through a linked resource must not be used to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Wisconsin sex-offender registry data demands special care. Wis. Stat. §§301.45 and 301.46 govern registration and notification, and misuse may carry legal consequences. Registry information supports public safety awareness, not vigilantism.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
This website does not create credit reports, background reports, or any other consumer report as the FCRA defines that term. Neither site content nor a linked partner result may be used to decide credit, employment, housing, insurance, licensing, benefits, or another FCRA-covered matter. A legally authorized official channel or an FCRA-compliant consumer reporting agency must handle such a purpose.
5. No Legal Advice
General explanations of Ozaukee County criminal-record procedures are informational only. They are not legal advice and do not form an attorney-client relationship. Consult a licensed Wisconsin attorney about the effect of a charge, conviction, warrant, sentence, or expungement rule.
6. No Warranties
All material is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranty that:
- Every statement is complete, accurate, or current
- The website will always be available or uninterrupted
- Its code or pages will remain free from errors or security defects
- An outside search result will be complete or matched correctly
Records can change through filing, amendment, dismissal, sealing, expungement, or correction. Only an originating office can provide an official answer.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to government portals, legal resources, and commercial search tools. We do not operate those destinations and are not responsible for their content, prices, availability, privacy practices, security, or terms. Visitors should examine the destination's policies before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Unless another owner is identified, site text, graphics, branding, and code belong to Ozaukee County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, modifying, redistributing, or creating derivative works without written permission is prohibited.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses arising from use of the website, inability to use it, reliance on its content, or reliance on any linked service or result.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, proceedings, costs, and reasonable legal fees that arise from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms.
11. Governing Law
Wisconsin law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any related dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Wisconsin. Government records remain governed by the Wisconsin Public Records Law, Wis. Stat. §§19.31 to 19.39, and state criminal-identification reporting is addressed by Wis. Stat. §165.83.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these conditions at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited, suspended, or ended at any time and without advance notice, including when use threatens the site, another person, or these terms.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force. The affected language will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
