NO FCRA USE. Burnett County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not provide a service for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or another decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource points readers toward public-record channels in Burnett County and Wisconsin. It is neither a private investigation business nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference website with no connection to a public office. It cannot retrieve an official record, conduct an authorized background check, file documents, or maintain a government criminal-record database.
Its function is limited to identifying sources such as the Burnett County Sheriff, Circuit Court, Wisconsin DOJ Crime Information Bureau, and Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry, along with optional outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Every user agrees not to:
- Use bots, scrapers, or another automated collection method on the pages
- Stalk, intimidate, harass, or threaten someone with information found here
- Interfere with performance or prevent another visitor from using the website
- Make an FCRA-regulated credit, employment, insurance, or housing decision from site content
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
- Violate federal, Wisconsin, or local law through the service
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use information from these pages or a linked tool to threaten, stalk, harass, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Misuse may also be criminal. Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry information has a public-safety and notification purpose. It does not authorize confrontation, vigilantism, employment blacklisting, housing discrimination, trespass, or interference with lawful conduct.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Burnett County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and creates no credit, background, or consumer report. Its advertising partners do not turn this website into a service for applicant screening, insurance rating, housing review, or credit decisions. Information here or in a linked tool must not be used to:
- Set insurance prices or assess creditworthiness
- Choose whether someone is hired or dismissed
- Make another decision governed by the FCRA
- Evaluate a housing or rental application
- Determine eligibility for a permit, license, or public program
A regulated check must come from an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider or the official Wisconsin DOJ channel authorized for the specific purpose.
5. No Legal Advice
Content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot decide how a Burnett County charge, warrant, conviction, or expungement rule affects an individual matter. Consult a Wisconsin-licensed attorney for advice.
6. No Warranties
All content is supplied "as is." No promise is made that:
- An outside search provider will return complete or correct results
- Every page is free from a bug, error, or security weakness
- Information will always be accurate, current, and complete
- The website will remain available without interruption
Charges, dismissals, restrictions, and expungement can change a record. Delays and gaps are unavoidable. Treat no site content as an official statement by the Burnett County Sheriff, Circuit Court, Wisconsin DOJ, or another government office.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to government offices, court portals, legal resources, and outside search services that we do not control. Their operators determine content, privacy practices, pricing, and availability. Read the destination's terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Burnett County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, code, logos, and graphics. Written permission is required before copying, changing, distributing, or creating a derivative work from that material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses or damages arising from website use, linked services, or reliance on information found through them.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by that user's conduct or breach of these terms, including related legal expenses.
11. Governing Law
Wisconsin law governs these terms. Wisconsin Public Records Law, Wis. Stat. §§ 19.31-19.39, governs access to records held by public authorities, not records on this private website. A dispute connected to website use must be brought in a Wisconsin court.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised at any time. A revision becomes effective when the changed text is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, without advance notice and for any reason.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue. The affected language will be narrowed only as necessary to make it enforceable.
