NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, Wisconsin, or federal government body. The site and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or another purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its function is to identify Wood County, Wisconsin criminal-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, independent from every government office. It cannot retrieve or store official criminal records, conduct an official check, or file a request or court document for a visitor.
Its content points toward Wood County Sheriff Admin Records, the courts, the Wisconsin Department of Justice Crime Information Bureau, and the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is conditioned on the following limits:
- Do not interfere with site speed or another visitor's access
- Do not run a bot, scraper, or automated collection tool against these pages
- Do not attempt unauthorized entry into a system or account
- Do not use site content for a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
- Do not use information to threaten, stalk, or harass a person
- Do not violate federal, Wisconsin, or local law through use of the site
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, intimidate, harass, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. Wisconsin places special limits on misuse of Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry data. The registry serves public safety and community awareness, not vigilantism or retaliation against a listed person.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Wood County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It creates no credit report, consumer report, or official background check. The same is true of the services offered through its advertising relationships. Site data and linked tools may not be used to:
- Take any action that the FCRA regulates
- Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
- Determine access to a license, permit, or public program
- Evaluate an applicant for housing
- Make an employment decision
A lawful FCRA-regulated check must come from a compliant provider and follow all required notices, permissions, and procedures. An official Wisconsin repository response may be requested from the Wisconsin Department of Justice Crime Information Bureau when that is the authorized channel.
5. No Legal Advice
General explanations of Wood County criminal records are not legal advice. Only a licensed Wisconsin attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule affects a specific matter.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied "as is," without a promise that:
- An outside search result will be accurate or complete
- Every page will remain free of errors or security faults
- Service will continue without interruption
- Published information is complete, correct, or current at all times
Charges, dispositions, access limits, and expungement status can change after publication. Gaps and delays are unavoidable. Nothing here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, or Wisconsin agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
A link may lead to a sheriff, court, Wisconsin agency, legal resource, or outside search service. The destination controls its own content, data practices, availability, and fees. Those matters are outside this site's responsibility, and the destination's terms should be reviewed before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Wood County Criminal History or its content partners. Written permission is required before copying, distributing, adapting, or building on that material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site is not liable for damage arising from its use, including reliance on content or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to hold the site harmless from a claim, demand, or action caused by that visitor's use or breach of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.
11. Governing Law
Wisconsin law governs these terms. A legal dispute tied to site use must be brought in a court located in Wisconsin.
12. Changes to These Terms
Revised terms may be posted at any time and become effective when published on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one term is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in force. The affected provision will be adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.
