Peters for Illinois is committed to protecting users’ privacy and addressing potential privacy concerns. The following information has been posted to help you, the consumer, understand what private information we collect and how your information is used.

Personally Identifiable Information

PII is any information that is “linked” or is “linkable” to a particular individual.  “Linked” means we can identify the individual from the information itself (e.g., their name).  “Linkable” means the information could be linked to a particular individual only if it is combined with other information derived from another source (e.g., a full [as opposed to partial] Internet Protocol address is generally linkable to a computer owned by an account holder who subscribes to a particular internet service provider).  PII may include, but is not limited to, an individual’s name, Social Security number, physical address, email address, Internet Protocol address, phone number, or birth date.

We do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to your request. The only personal information that we collect is what you decide to give us by subscribing to our email services. 

We may collect the following personal information from our users: Name, Mailing address, Phone number, Email address, Birthdate, Sex, Age, Payment/Billing, Information, Billing address.

You can always choose to provide less information. However, omitting some of this personal information may limit your ability to access all of the benefits of our website and services.
