NO FCRA USE. Grant County Criminal History is private and has no government affiliation. It is neither a private-investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency. The site and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or any other decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its function is limited to directing readers toward Grant County and Wisconsin record resources.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site operates independently of government. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve them, perform official checks, or submit filings for a visitor.
Its content identifies custodians such as the Grant County Sheriff, circuit clerk, Wisconsin Department of Justice Crime Information Bureau, and Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry. Some links also lead to independently operated search tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the site is conditioned on these prohibitions:
- 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
No information found here or through a linked tool may be used to stalk, threaten, intimidate, harass, or discriminate against a person. Misuse may be criminal. Wisconsin registry data exists for public safety, and state law bars threats, injury, vandalism, harassment, and vigilantism directed at a registrant.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Grant County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and creates no credit report, background check, or consumer report. The site and its advertising partners do not offer tools for the regulated decisions listed below. Users agree not to use site or linked data 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 legally regulated check must come from the Wisconsin Department of Justice Crime Information Bureau or a provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Wisconsin attorney can advise how a Grant County charge, warrant, conviction, or expungement rule affects a specific situation.
6. No Warranties
All content and functions are supplied "as is," without a guarantee 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 agency procedures change. Errors or gaps may therefore remain. No page is an official statement by a sheriff, court, or government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
External links include government portals, legal resources, and outside search services. Their operators control availability, content, prices, privacy, and terms. Grant County Criminal History is not responsible for those services, so review their rules before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Grant County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, distribution, modification, or derivative use requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the greatest extent allowed by law, the site is not liable for harm arising from its use or from reliance on content returned by any linked service.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to indemnify and hold the site harmless from claims, demands, proceedings, legal fees, and related costs caused by that user's conduct or breach of these terms.
11. Governing Law
Wisconsin law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use must be brought in a court located in Wisconsin. Relevant public-record and criminal-history rules include Wis. Stat. §§ 19.31-19.39 and Wis. Stat. § 165.83.
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 restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
