Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider supplying those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. When you contact us, we receive the details included in your message and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and time stamps. Aggregate use helps maintain the service and shows which resources are useful. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may use cookies or similar tools where applicable.
How We Use Information
Information supports site operation, error repair, traffic measurement, and page improvement. We neither sell visitor lists nor create profiles about individual readers.
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
Your location may provide rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Wisconsin's DATCP privacy overview describes protections by sector and does not identify one comprehensive state law granting a universal deletion right. Because we retain little, a request usually means checking contact messages and available logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by Wisconsin, Washington County, or the Village of Germantown remain under the control of their 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.
