Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Brookfield Residents Directory. By continuing, you agree to follow them; otherwise, discontinue use of the site.

1. Nature of This Website

Brookfield Residents Directory operates as an independent reference. It identifies public rolls, indexes, and historical collections related to Brookfield, Wisconsin, and links readers to their custodians. No government records are hosted here, and the service has no affiliation with a city, county, state, court, or records office.


2. Acceptable Use Rules

Use the site only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or anything found through it, to:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
  • Locate someone protected by a restraining or protective order
  • Commit identity theft or fraud
  • Make FCRA-regulated decisions (credit, employment, tenant, insurance)
  • Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.). Nothing here, and nothing any linked search tool returns, is a consumer report, and none of it may be used to judge eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-covered purpose.


4. Links to Outside Sites

Outside government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, apply their own policies and terms. Their content, uptime, prices, and data practices remain outside our control.


5. Information Without Warranty

The service is offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We make no promise that site information is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will remain available or produce a correct result.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, we are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this site or any linked resource, including decisions made from records found through it.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operators of this site from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, design, logo, and layout of this site are protected by copyright. Linking to any page and quoting brief excerpts with attribution is welcome; republishing full pages or systematically copying content is not.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms by posting a new version here. Continued use after a change means acceptance.


10. Cutting Off Access

We may block or restrict any user who violates these terms or abuses the site, at our discretion and without notice.


11. Wisconsin Governing Law

Wisconsin law governs these terms, without applying conflict-of-law principles. Public-record access discussed here is generally framed by Wisconsin Public Records Law, Wis. Stat. §§19.31 through 19.39, particularly §19.35. Privacy limits may also arise under targeted laws such as Wis. Stat. §6.36 for voter records. None of those statutes makes this private service a records custodian.


12. Severability

If any part of these terms proves unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
