Information You Submit
A third-party provider receives names, phone numbers, or addresses entered into a search form. Our servers do not retain those queries. If you send us a message, we receive its contents and use them only to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, requested page, and time of access. Aggregate review helps maintain the service and measure page use. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or comparable technology.
How Information Is Used
Technical data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic counts, and page improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to Cook County and Illinois portals, libraries, archives, and outside search services. Each destination applies its own privacy policy to information submitted there. Sponsored results are likewise supplied by a separate company.
When Data Is Shared
Hosting and support vendors process ordinary logs, while analytics or advertising providers may receive the technical data described above. Information may also be disclosed when valid legal process requires it.
Security and Retention
An encrypted connection protects data in transit. Logs remain only as long as needed for the stated purposes. Because visitors create no accounts, the site stores no visitor password or account profile.
Users Under 18
This service is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor sent information so it can be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Rights to access, correct, or delete personal data depend on the law where you live. Illinois does not have a general consumer privacy statute identified in the project research, though specialized state privacy laws may apply to particular data. A request to us normally concerns only a contact mailbox or server log; use the Contact page. Illinois, Cook County, and Dolton public records remain under the control of their custodians, so correction or removal requests must go to the relevant office.
Updates to This Policy
A revised policy will appear here. Continued use after publication of a change indicates acceptance of the new version.
