NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no local, Wisconsin, or federal government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The material points to Chippewa County and Wisconsin criminal-record resources. We are neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve a person's file, perform an official background check, or submit forms on a visitor's behalf.
Its function is to identify record custodians, such as the Chippewa County Sheriff, circuit court, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, and WI STAYS SAFE, and to provide access to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the site is conditioned on the following restrictions. You may not:
- Use automated bots or scrapers against these pages
- Interfere with performance or another visitor's access
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
- Harass, stalk, or threaten a person with information found here
- Rely on site content for employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Violate a federal, Wisconsin, or local law through site use
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use information from these pages or a linked tool to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Misuse may also be criminal. Wisconsin rules restrict use of WI STAYS SAFE registry information, and a listed person may not be targeted. Registry access supports lawful safety awareness, not vigilantism, workplace blacklisting, or housing discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create a background check, credit report, or other consumer report. Our advertising partners also do not provide site services designed for applicant, renter, insurance, or credit screening. Information from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Evaluate creditworthiness or set an insurance premium
- Screen a rental or other housing application
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Determine eligibility for a permit, license, or government benefit
- Support any other purpose regulated by the FCRA
A person needing a check for a regulated purpose must use the Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA and the law governing that use.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is not legal advice. General information about Chippewa County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law applies to one person's facts. Ask a Wisconsin-licensed attorney for that advice.
6. No Warranties
All material and services are supplied "as is." No guarantee is made that:
- An outside search provider's result will be complete or correct
- The pages contain no error, bug, or security weakness
- Access will remain continuous and uninterrupted
- Published information is always accurate, complete, and current
Charges may be filed, changed, dismissed, expunged, or restricted after publication. Gaps and delays are possible. Nothing here constitutes an official statement by a court, sheriff, or government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to sheriff, court, state agency, legal resource, and outside search websites. We do not control a destination's content, availability, prices, or data practices and accept no responsibility for them. Review that site's terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, code, graphics, and logos belong to Chippewa County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or adapted without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we have no liability for damages arising from site use, including reliance on information found here or through an outside service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.
11. Governing Law
Wisconsin law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the site must be brought in a court located in Wisconsin.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may restrict or terminate access at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is found invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be modified only as far as needed to make it enforceable.
15. Questions
Questions about these terms may be submitted through the Contact page.
