Data You Give Us Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party company providing those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that query. When you contact us, we receive the details included in your message and use them to respond.
Data We Gather Automatically
Standard hosting logs can record an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and time of access. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or comparable technology.
What We Do With This Data
The limited data supports site operation, error repair, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create profiles tied to individual readers.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Wisconsin and Milwaukee County portals, library collections, archives, or outside search services. Information submitted after leaving this site is governed by the destination's policy. The same is true for sponsored results delivered by a third-party 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
An encrypted connection protects data in transit, and logs are retained only as long as needed for the stated purposes. Since visitors create no account, this site has no user password or resident profile to store.
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 see, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. No broad Wisconsin consumer-privacy deletion law was confirmed in the official sources reviewed, though specific protections apply to certain voter, vital, motor-vehicle, court, and Safe at Home information. Because we retain very little, a request generally means checking contact messages and ordinary server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by Wisconsin, Milwaukee County, or City of Greenfield custodians remain outside our 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.
