Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. When you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We review combined traffic data to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may use cookies or similar technology where applicable.
How the Data Is Used
The limited data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual visitor profiles.
Privacy on Linked Services
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 Data Rights
Privacy rights can vary by residence and may include access, correction, or deletion rights for data a website controls. The research did not identify a general Wisconsin consumer-privacy statute that changes this process. Because little data is retained, a request normally means checking the contact mailbox and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by Wisconsin, Milwaukee County, or Franklin offices remain under each custodian's control, so correction or suppression requests for those records must go there.
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.
