Information You Submit
A third-party provider receives names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in a search form. Our servers do not retain those searches. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them only as needed to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We review totals to maintain the service and understand 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.
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 Choices
Rights to access, correct, or delete website data depend on the law where you live. Indiana does not provide a general consumer privacy statute in the project research comparable to some other states, so applicable federal and state rules control. We can check our contact mailbox and server logs for a request made through the Contact page. Public records held by Indiana, Lake County, or a municipality remain under the custodian's control; correction or removal requests must go to that office.
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.
