Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of the query. When you send a message, we receive its contents and use them to answer.
Automatic Technical Data
Normal hosting logs can record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregate review helps diagnose faults and measure general page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar tools where applicable.
How the Data Is Used
Data supports site operation, error repair, traffic counts, and page improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create profiles about individual readers.
Privacy Beyond This Website
County portals, state systems, archives, library collections, and outside search services set their own privacy rules. Their policies govern information submitted after following a link, including information entered for sponsored results.
Parties That Process Data
Hosting and support vendors process logs for site operations. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatic information described above. Data may also be disclosed when valid legal process requires it.
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-held personal data can depend on where a visitor lives. Illinois Personal Information Protection Act, 815 ILCS 530, governs breach notice and protection duties, but the research found no general Illinois universal deletion right. Because little data is kept, a request generally requires checking the contact mailbox and available logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by an Illinois, Madison County, or municipal office remain under that custodian's control.
Changes to This Policy
A revised policy will appear here. Continued use after publication signals acceptance of the updated terms.
