Information You Submit
A third-party provider receives any name, phone number, or address entered in a search box. Our servers do not retain those search terms. When you contact us, we use the details in your message only to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review combined traffic patterns to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or comparable tools.
How Information Is Used
Information supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic counts, and page improvements. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual user profiles.
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.
Safeguards and Retention
An encrypted connection protects traffic, and logs remain only as long as needed for the stated purposes. The site has no user accounts, passwords, or member profiles.
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
Privacy rights may depend on where you live and the kind of information involved. The research did not identify a general Illinois consumer-privacy statute for insertion here, so no broader statutory right is claimed. Because we retain very little, a request usually involves checking contact mail and available logs. Use the Contact page. Illinois Freedom of Information Act records and other public files held by government 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.
