Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited data handled by Milwaukee County Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. No account is required, and the site does not host personal records. It points readers to public rolls and historical collections maintained by Milwaukee and Wisconsin custodians.

Information You Submit

A third-party provider receives names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in the search forms. Our servers do not retain those searches. When you contact us, we use the information in your message only to respond.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, timestamp, and pages requested. We review combined traffic data to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.


How Information Is Used

Limited data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual visitor profiles.


Links to Other Websites

Milwaukee County portals, Wisconsin agencies, libraries, archives, and third-party search services set their own privacy terms. Their policies apply once you follow a link or submit data to them, including through sponsored search results.


When Information Is Shared

Hosting and support providers process ordinary logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising vendors may receive the automatic data described above. Information may also be disclosed when valid legal process requires it.


How We Protect Your Data

Encrypted connections protect data in transit, and logs are retained only while needed for the purposes stated above. Because visitors create no accounts, this site stores no account password or user 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 Data Rights

Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide rights to access, correct, or delete personal data kept by a website. Wisconsin had no comprehensive consumer privacy statute identified in the project research, so any rights depend on the law that applies to the visitor and data. Requests here are narrow because we keep little information: use the Contact page to ask us to check contact messages and available server logs. Public records held by Wisconsin, Milwaukee County, or municipal offices remain under the control of those custodians.


Updates to This Policy

Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use after a posted update indicates acceptance of the new policy.
