Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form goes to the outside provider supplying the results. Our servers retain no copy of those searches. If you contact us, we use the message only to respond.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs can contain an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. We review combined traffic to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar tools.
How We Use Data
Data supports service operation, error repair, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors 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.
Safeguarding Information
Connections are encrypted, and logs are retained only while needed for the stated purposes. Since users create no accounts, the service stores 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 Data Rights
Privacy rights depend on applicable law. The official research found no enacted comprehensive Illinois consumer-data privacy act or universal deletion portal. Existing protections include 815 ILCS 505 and 815 ILCS 530. Because we retain little data, requests normally concern our contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page. Public records held by Illinois, county, or Village offices remain under the custodian's 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.
