Data You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the details included in your message and use them to answer.
Routine Technical Records
Our host creates standard logs containing an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity to maintain the site and understand which pages are useful. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and, when used, advertising measurement.
How We Use Data
We use limited data to operate the site, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create profiles of individual visitors.
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
Your location may give you rights concerning personal data that a website maintains. Illinois's Personal Information Protection Act, 815 ILCS 530, addresses security, breach notice, and disposal obligations; it is not a universal deletion right for public records. Because we retain very little, a request normally means checking our contact mailbox and available server logs, then removing responsive material when required. Use the Contact page to ask. Illinois state, county, and city records remain under their custodians' control, so correction or redaction requests for those records must go to the relevant office.
Updates to This Policy
Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use after a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
