Information You Choose to Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies those results; our servers do not retain the query. When you send a message, we receive the details in that message and use them to respond.
Routine Technical Information
Standard hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregate review helps maintain the service and shows which material is useful. Basic analytics and, where used, 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 Privacy Choices
The Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act, IC 24-15, may provide eligible Indiana consumers rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain covered personal data and to opt out of certain processing, subject to its scope and exceptions. Because this site retains very little, a request generally means checking contact messages and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Indiana or Lake County agencies are outside our control, so correction or removal requests for those records must go to 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.
