Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in search boxes pass to the outside provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we use the contents of your message only to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Standard hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregated logs help maintain the service and show broad usage patterns. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics and applicable advertising measurement.
How Data Is Used
Technical data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic counts, and page improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual user profiles.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Privacy Choices
Your residence may give you rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Wisconsin has no all-purpose consumer privacy statute identified in the project research that creates a universal opt-out for public-record fields. Because we retain little information, a request generally involves checking contact messages and available logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by Wisconsin, Dane County, or Fitchburg offices remain under the custodian's control.
Updates to This Policy
Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
