Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in a search box pass to the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain those searches. When you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them only to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Standard hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. Aggregate review helps maintain the service and measure page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar tools.
What We Do With This Data
Operating the site, fixing problems, counting traffic, improving pages. We do not sell visitor lists and we do not build profiles of individual users.
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.
Safeguarding Limited Data
Connections are encrypted, and logs are retained only as long as operational needs require. Because visitors create no account, the service keeps no user password or personal profile.
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
Your residence may give you rights to access, correct, or delete data a website maintains. Illinois's Personal Information Protection Act, 815 ILCS 530, chiefly addresses breach notice and protected personal information; it is not a broad right to erase public records. Because we retain very little, a request generally involves checking contact mail and server logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by Illinois, Champaign County, or municipal offices remain under the custodian's control.
Policy Changes
Revisions will appear here. Continued use after a revised policy is posted indicates acceptance of the new terms.
