Information You Submit
A third-party provider receives names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in a search box. Our servers do not save those searches. When you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them only to answer.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs can record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and time of access. We review combined traffic to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or similar tools.
How Information Is Used
Limited data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic counts, and page improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual user profiles.
Privacy on Linked Services
County and state portals, archives, library collections, and outside search providers set their own privacy rules. Review those policies before submitting data. Sponsored results are supplied by a separate company and are governed by that company's terms.
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
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data kept by a website. Illinois' Personal Information Protection Act, 815 ILCS 530, governs security and breach notice but is not a broad deletion right for public records. Because we retain little, a request usually means checking contact mail and server logs and deleting what can be removed. Use the Contact page. Records held by Illinois, Rock Island County, or city 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.
