Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited information Bloomington Residents Directory may receive, how it is handled, and the choices available to visitors. The site is a private guide to public rolls and historical collections in Bloomington, Illinois. It requires no user account and does not host personal public records.

Information You Submit

A third-party provider receives the name, phone number, or address entered in a search form. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you send us a message, we receive its contents and use them to respond.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the site and understand page use. Basic analytics and, when present, advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar tools.


How the Information Is Used

We use this limited information to run the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual visitor profiles.


Privacy on Linked Services

Links may lead to Bloomington, McLean County, Illinois, library, archive, or outside search services. Each destination applies its own privacy terms to information submitted there. Sponsored results are also supplied by an outside company.


Service Providers and Disclosure

Providers that host or support the site process ordinary logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising providers may receive the automatic information described above. We otherwise disclose information only when valid legal process requires it.


Security and Retention

An encrypted connection protects traffic to the site, and logs are retained only as long as needed for the stated purposes. Because visitors do not create accounts, the site holds no user password or account profile.


Visitors Under 18

This service is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly collect a minor's personal information. Contact us if you believe a minor sent information so it can be deleted.


Your Privacy Choices

Your place of residence may give you rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information held by a website. The research did not identify a broad Illinois data-broker opt-out statute applicable here, so no such right is implied. Since we retain very little, a request usually means checking contact messages and available logs, then removing responsive information. Send a request through the Contact page. Records held by Illinois, McLean County, or Bloomington offices remain under each custodian's control, and any correction or restriction request must go there.


Policy Changes

Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use of the site after publication indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
