Data You Provide
The search forms on this site send the terms you enter, such as a name, phone number, or address, to the third-party search provider that powers those results. We do not retain a copy of those searches on our own servers. If you contact us, we receive the details you choose to send and use them only to respond.
Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting systems create standard server logs, including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate to keep the site stable and understand which pages are useful. Cookies or similar technologies may be used for basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How We Use Data
We use the information described above to run the site, troubleshoot errors, measure traffic, and improve page content. We do not sell visitor lists. We do not create profiles of individual visitors.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to government portals, Orange County and California records offices, library collections, and third-party search tools. Each outside site has its own privacy policy, and information you submit there is controlled by that site's rules, not ours. Sponsored search results on this site are provided by a third-party company.
Who May Receive Data
Service providers that host and support this site may process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We will disclose information when valid legal process requires it. We do not otherwise share visitor data.
How We Protect Data
The site is served over an encrypted connection. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for the purposes described above. Because this site does not offer visitor accounts, it does not hold account passwords or user profiles.
Users Under 18
This site is not directed to children and is intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted personal information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data a website holds about you. California also regulates data brokers through Civil Code §§ 1798.99.80-1798.99.89, which is separate from public-records access under the California Public Records Act, Government Code title 1, division 10, §§ 7920.000-7931.000. Because we hold very little, most requests are narrow: we can search our contact mailbox and server logs and remove what we find. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public records held by Aliso Viejo, Orange County, or California offices are outside our control; removal or correction requests for those records must go to the custodian office.
Updates to This Policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
