Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that produces 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 to respond.
Routine Technical Data
Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, page request, and time. Aggregate review helps maintain the service and identify useful pages. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may use cookies or similar tools where applicable.
How Data Is Used
Limited data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and content improvements. We neither sell visitor lists nor assemble individual visitor 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 website data depend on the law that applies to you. The research did not verify a comprehensive Illinois deletion or universal opt-out statute, so no broader state right is promised here. Because we retain little, a request normally means checking contact messages and available logs. Use the Contact page. Public records held by Illinois or Cook County 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.
