Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that query. If you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them only to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs can contain 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 use cookies or comparable technologies where applicable.
How Information Is Used
We use limited visitor data to operate the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. Visitor lists are not sold, and individual user profiles are not built.
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
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information kept by a website. Because little data is retained, a request normally involves checking contact mail and available server logs, then removing responsive material when appropriate. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Illinois, county, or city custodians remain outside our control; requests about them must go to the office that holds the record.
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.
