Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party results provider; our servers do not retain that query. If you contact us, we receive the content you choose to send and use it to answer.
Automatically Collected Information
Standard hosting logs may include an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar tools.
How Information Is Used
Limited data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvement. 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.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
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
Rights to access, correct, or delete site-held data depend on applicable law. Illinois has no broad enacted data-broker deletion law as of the research cutoff; the Personal Information Protection Act, 815 ILCS 530, mainly governs breach notice and secure disposal rather than a general profile opt-out. Because we retain little, a request normally requires checking only contact messages and available server logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by Illinois or DuPage County custodians remain outside our control and must be addressed with the source office.
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.
