Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to answer.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may include an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregate use helps maintain the site and identify useful pages. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may use cookies or similar tools where applicable.
How We Use Limited Data
We use limited data to operate the service, repair errors, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual user profiles.
Privacy on Linked Services
County portals, Illinois systems, libraries, archives, and outside search providers set their own privacy terms. Their policies govern information submitted after you follow a link. Sponsored results are also supplied by a third party.
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 personal data may depend on where you live. Illinois's Personal Information Protection Act, 815 ILCS 530, addresses covered personal information and reasonable safeguards but is not a general deletion right for public records. Because we retain very little, a request usually involves checking contact mail and available server logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by Illinois, Tazewell County, or East Peoria are outside our control and must be addressed with the custodian.
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.
