Data You Give Us Directly
What you type into the search forms (a name, a phone number, or an address) goes to the third-party provider that powers the results; our own servers keep no copy of your searches. If you write to us, we see only what your message contains and use it to reply.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, page request, and timestamp. Aggregate use helps diagnose problems and show which material is useful. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or similar tools.
How We Use Limited Data
Automatic data helps operate the site, diagnose faults, measure overall traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor assemble personal profiles of readers.
Privacy on Linked Services
Dane County portals, Wisconsin agencies, archives, libraries, and third-party search tools apply their own privacy rules. Information entered after following a link is governed by that destination, including sponsored results supplied by an outside company.
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 vary by jurisdiction, and the research located no general Wisconsin consumer-privacy statute to cite for this site. Because little data is retained, a request normally involves checking contact messages and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Government records held by Wisconsin, Dane County, or Middleton remain under the control of the relevant custodian.
Policy Changes
Changes take effect when a new policy is posted here. Continued use after that posting means the revised policy applies.
