Information You Submit
A third-party provider receives names, telephone numbers, or addresses entered in sponsored search forms. Our servers do not retain those queries. If you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them only to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and time stamps. We review grouped traffic to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or similar tools.
What We Do With This Data
We use limited data to operate the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual browsing 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 Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to inspect, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Wisconsin does not have a broad consumer-privacy statute identified in the project research comparable to the comprehensive laws of some states. Because our retention is limited, we review the contact mailbox and available server logs when handling a request. Use the Contact page. Public records held by Wisconsin, Dane County, or Madison offices remain under the control of those custodians.
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.
