Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third party providing those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. Aggregate review helps maintain the service and measure page use. Cookies or related tools may be used for basic analytics and, when applicable, advertising measurement.
How Technical Data Is Used
Technical data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell visitor lists nor create profiles of individual readers.
Privacy on Linked Services
Links lead to county and state portals, archives, library collections, and outside search services. Information submitted after leaving this site is controlled by the destination's policy. Sponsored results are also supplied by a third party.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support vendors process ordinary logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatic data described above. Information is otherwise disclosed only when valid legal process requires it.
Safeguards and Retention
Connections are encrypted, and logs are retained only as long as the stated purposes require. Since visitors do not create accounts, the site keeps no account password or member 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 Privacy Choices
Applicable law may give you rights to inspect, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Illinois's Personal Information Protection Act, 815 ILCS 530, addresses safeguards and breach duties for personal information. Because this service keeps little visitor data, a request normally involves checking contact messages and available logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by Illinois, Cook County, or Cicero offices remain under the control of those custodians.
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.
