Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that query. When you contact us, we use the contents of your message only to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. We review totals to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or comparable tools can support basic analytics and advertising measurement when applicable.
How We Use Information
Limited data helps us operate the site, diagnose faults, measure visits, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual visitor profiles.
Privacy on Linked Services
Links lead to DuPage County and Illinois portals, libraries, archives, and outside search providers. Information submitted after leaving this site is governed by that service's privacy policy. Sponsored search 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
Some laws may allow access to, correction of, or deletion of data held by a website. The Illinois Personal Information Protection Act, 815 ILCS 530, governs protection and breach duties for covered personal information, but the official research found no general Illinois right to delete a private person's data from every source. We can check our contact mailbox and available logs for information tied to a request. Use the Contact page to ask. Illinois, DuPage County, and West Chicago public records remain under their custodians' control; correction, confidentiality, or removal requests must go to the office that maintains the record.
