Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that query. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Routine Technical Logs
The hosting service records standard details such as IP address, browser type, requested pages, and time. Aggregated logs help maintain the site and measure page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar tools.
How Limited Data Is Used
Technical data supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic counts, and page improvement. We neither sell visitor lists nor assemble profiles about individual readers.
Privacy on Linked Services
County and state portals, library collections, archives, and outside search services apply their own privacy policies. Their rules govern information submitted after leaving this site, including data entered for sponsored results.
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 Data Rights
Illinois has sector-specific privacy laws, including the Biometric Information Privacy Act, 740 ILCS 14, and the Personal Information Protection Act, 815 ILCS 530, rather than one broad consumer deletion statute covering every website interaction. Because this site keeps little data, a request normally involves checking contact mail and server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by Illinois, DuPage County, or Lisle 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.
