Privacy policy

This site collects as little as a website can. Here is what that means in practice.

What this site collects

This site has no contact form, no accounts, no analytics and no advertising, and it loads nothing from other companies' servers while you read it. The site itself sets no cookies. The hosting service sets one security cookie, which expires after 30 minutes, to tell visitors apart from automated traffic.

What the hosting service sees

Like every website, this one is delivered by a hosting service. To deliver and protect the site, the hosting service processes technical information about each visit, such as your IP address and the browser you use.

When you call or email

If you call or email the office, the firm receives what you choose to share, such as your name, phone number, email address and a short description of your matter. The firm uses it to reply to you and, if you become a client, to represent you. Email to the office passes through the firm's email provider.

Please do not send confidential details by email before Rick has agreed to represent you.

The "Get directions" link opens a maps service run by another company, under that company's privacy policy. Nothing is sent to it unless you choose the link.

Questions and changes

For questions about this policy, call (815) 986-1569 or email [email protected]. If the site changes what it collects, this page changes first and shows a new date.
