Data You Give Us Directly
When a visitor enters a name, phone number, or address in a search form, the request is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the result. Our own servers do not retain a copy of those search terms. A message sent to us exposes the information it contains, which is used to answer the inquiry.
Data We Gather Automatically
Hosting systems may record an IP address, browser or device details, pages opened, and timestamps. We review combined statistics to maintain the service and understand which pages receive attention. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, when enabled, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
Collected information helps operate the reference pages, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or build profiles of individual users.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and independent search services. Once information is submitted on another domain, that provider's privacy policy applies. Sponsored search results are supplied by a separate company and follow its own data practices.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and technical-support providers may process server logs for operational purposes. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed when valid legal process or another legal duty requires it, and otherwise is not shared outside the purposes described here.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for as long as the operational purposes above require. There are no user accounts here, so this service does not hold a password or personal profile for you.
Users Under 18
These pages are intended for adults and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor may have sent information, contact us and request its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Covered California consumers may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, Civil Code §§1798.100 et seq. Those rights can include knowing about or accessing data, deleting it, correcting it, limiting the use of sensitive personal information, and opting out of sale or sharing, subject to coverage and exemptions.
Because this service retains very little, a request normally means searching the contact mailbox and available server logs, then removing what is found. Use the Contact page to ask. The California Public Records Act, Government Code Division 10, §§7920.000-7931.000, governs qualifying requests to public agencies rather than deletion from this private service. Under Government Code §7922.535, an agency generally makes a disclosure determination within ten days and may give written notice of up to 14 additional days for unusual circumstances. Public records held by Union City, Alameda County, or California state offices remain under the custodian's control; correction or removal requests for those records must go to that office.
Updates to This Policy
Revisions will be posted on this page. Continued use after an update is posted indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
