Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited data Dane County Residents Directory receives, how it is handled, and the choices available to you. No account is required. The site points to public rolls and historical collections in Dane County, Wisconsin, and does not host a personal record database.

Information You Submit

A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of that query. If you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to answer.


Automatic Technical Data

Our hosting keeps ordinary server logs: IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We look at this in aggregate to keep the site healthy and to see which pages readers use. Cookies or similar technologies may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.


How That Data Is Used

Technical data helps operate the service, diagnose errors, measure aggregate traffic, and improve pages. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual user profiles.


Privacy on Linked Services

Links may lead to Dane County or Wisconsin portals, libraries, archives, and outside search providers. Information entered after leaving this site is governed by that service's privacy terms. Sponsored results are also supplied by a third party under its own policy.


Who Processes Visitor Data

Hosting and support vendors process ordinary server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the technical information described above. We disclose information when valid legal process compels it, but not otherwise.


Safeguarding Limited Data

Connections are encrypted, and logs are retained only while needed for the purposes stated here. Because readers create no accounts, this site holds no user password or account profile.


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 Privacy Choices

Your location may grant rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Wisconsin relies on sector-specific privacy and public-records rules rather than one comprehensive consumer privacy statute. Because we keep very little, a request usually involves checking the contact mailbox and server logs, then removing responsive data where appropriate. Use the Contact page. Wisconsin state, Dane County, and municipal records remain under the control of their official custodians.


Changes to This Policy

Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
