The Oak Park Public Library is committed to protecting the privacy of all who use its services in compliance with Illinois state laws and professional standards related to the personal information of library users (see the library’s Confidentiality of Circulation Records Policy and Institutional Data Policy).
Data privacy & third-party vendors
Oak Park Public Library uses third-party vendors to provide digital content, including ebooks, digital audiobooks, movies, music, online resources, and more. Some of these vendors may collect and share the personally identifiable information (PII) you choose to provide them in order to use their services.

The information that could be collected by third-party vendors may include:
- When you register with the third-party vendor, provide feedback and suggestions, request information, or create shared content
- Internet address (IP address), search history, location-based data, and device information
- Non-personally identifiable information, such as your ad views, analytics, browser information, cookie data, date/time of your request, demographic data, hardware/software type, interaction data, serving domains, page views, and the web page you visited immediately prior to visiting the site
- Other data as described in the vendor’s privacy policy and terms of use
The Oak Park Public Library’s Confidentiality of Circulation Records and Institutional Data policies do not apply to the third-party vendors we use. We suggest you review the privacy statements for individual third-party vendors to decide if you agree to their terms.
