NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its purpose is to organize Rock County and Wisconsin public-record sources. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, independently operated and unaffiliated with government. We do not hold official records, retrieve files, perform official checks, or submit paperwork for a user.
We identify official sources for Rock County records, including the sheriff, Circuit Court clerk, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, and Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry, and may connect readers with outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the website, you agree not to:
- 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 obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone. Wisconsin places explicit conditions on use of Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry data, and misuse can be criminal. Registry publication supports community safety, never vigilantism or retaliation.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool 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
Any FCRA-regulated check must come from an authorized, compliant source rather than this website or its ordinary research links.
5. No Legal Advice
Nothing published here is legal advice. General Rock County record information cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law applies to one person. Consult a Wisconsin-licensed attorney for that analysis.
6. No Warranties
All content and functions are supplied "as is," without a promise 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, outcomes, access limits, and expungement status can change. Updates may lag, and nothing published here is an official statement by a sheriff, court, or public agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links point to public agencies, courts, legal resources, and outside search services that we do not operate. We are not responsible for a destination's content, availability, pricing, data practices, or terms. Review those conditions before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Rock County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative work from that material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim liability for losses arising from website use or reliance on information found here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Wisconsin law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Wisconsin.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A revision becomes effective when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or terminated at any time and without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue. The affected provision will be limited only as needed to make it enforceable.
