Information You Submit
A third-party provider receives names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in a search form. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you send a message, we use its contents only as needed to answer.
Routine Technical Logs
The host records standard details such as an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and time stamps. Aggregate review helps diagnose faults and measure page use. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or similar tools.
How Information Is Used
Technical data supports site operation, repairs, traffic counts, and page improvements. We neither sell a visitor list nor create profiles about individual readers.
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 site-held personal data may depend on where you live. Illinois has sector-specific privacy rules, but the research did not identify a single general consumer deletion statute governing this reference. We can check the contact mailbox and ordinary logs for a request sent through the Contact page. Records held by the Village, DuPage County, or Illinois remain under the custodian's control and the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
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.
