Information You 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 a copy of that search. When you send a message, we receive its contents and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Routine hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. Aggregated logs help maintain the site and show which resources are useful. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may use cookies or comparable technology.
How Information Is Used
Information supports site operations, repairs, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors nor assemble profiles about individual readers.
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 Rights
The Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act, IC 24-15, may give a covered consumer rights concerning access, correction, deletion, and defined opt-outs. State agencies and political subdivisions are exempt from that act. Because this site retains little data, a request usually involves checking contact mail and available logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Government records held by Indiana, St. Joseph County, or Mishawaka remain under the control of their custodians.
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.
