NO FCRA USE. Door County Criminal History is privately operated and has no affiliation with a government body. Neither the website nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site is a Wisconsin records reference, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government connection. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, performs official checks, or files documents for a visitor.
Its content points to Door County custodians and Wisconsin systems, including the Sheriff's Office, Circuit Court, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, and Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry. It may also connect visitors with outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is conditioned on an agreement not to:
- Run a scraper, bot, or other automated collection tool against the pages
- Interfere with site performance or another person's access
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any site system
- Use information to stalk, threaten, or harass a person
- Rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
- Violate any applicable local, state, or federal law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use information from the site or a linked tool to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against another person. This restriction is especially important for Wisconsin Public Sex Offender Registry data. Misuse against a listed person may carry criminal or civil consequences. Registry information supports lawful public safety awareness, not vigilantism or blacklisting.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Door County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It does not create credit reports, background checks, or consumer reports. Its advertising partners are not presented as services for applicant, rental, insurance, or credit decisions. Data from the site or a linked tool may not be used to:
- Determine creditworthiness or insurance premiums
- Screen a housing or rental applicant
- Make a hiring or firing decision
- Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government program
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
A legally permitted check for a regulated purpose must come from the Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau or an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
The website does not provide legal advice. General explanations of Door County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Wisconsin expungement rule applies to one situation. Consult a Wisconsin-licensed attorney for that analysis.
6. No Warranties
All site content is supplied "as is." There is no guarantee that:
- A partner's search result will be accurate or complete
- The pages contain no error, bug, or security weakness
- The website will remain continuously available
- Any information is complete, accurate, or current at a given time
Criminal records change as charges are filed or dismissed and records are restricted or expunged. Gaps and delays are possible. Site content is never an official statement from the Door County courts, Sheriff's Office, or any Wisconsin agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may open Door County offices, Wisconsin agencies, court systems, legal-aid resources, and outside searches. Those services are beyond our control. We bear no responsibility for their availability, content, fees, or data practices. Review the destination's terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, code, logos, and graphics belong to Door County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, altered, distributed, or used to create derivative work without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damage arising from use of the site, its content, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal actions arising from that user's conduct 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 site must be brought in a court located in Wisconsin. Wisconsin's consumer-protection framework includes Wis. Stat. § 100.18.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised at any time. A revision takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in force. The affected provision will be limited only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
