Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered in a search box pass to the outside provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of the query. When you contact us, we receive the details included in that message and use them to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, requested page, and timestamp. Aggregate review helps diagnose faults and shows which resources are useful. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or comparable technology.
How the Data Is Used
The limited data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvement. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to McHenry County and Illinois record portals, Woodstock library collections, archives, and outside search tools. Information submitted there is governed by that operator's privacy policy. The same rule applies to sponsored results supplied by a third party.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support vendors process technical logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatic data described above. Information is otherwise disclosed only when valid legal process requires it.
Safeguarding Limited Data
Connections are encrypted, and logs are retained only while needed for the purposes listed above. Because the site has no visitor accounts, it holds no account password or resident profile.
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
Applicable law may provide rights to inspect, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Illinois does not currently provide one broad consumer privacy act equivalent to those enacted in several other states, though sector-specific state and federal protections still apply. A request usually involves checking the contact mailbox and technical logs because very little is retained. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by Illinois, McHenry County, or Woodstock offices remain under the custodian's control, so correction or removal requests must go there.
Updates to This Policy
Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use after publication of a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
