Data You Give Us Directly
Information entered in a search form, such as a name, phone number, or address, is sent to the third-party provider that powers the results. Our own servers do not keep a copy of the query. If you contact us, the operators see the message and the details you choose to include, then use them to respond.
Data We Gather Automatically
Hosting systems may record routine logs such as an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and time stamps. Those logs are reviewed in aggregate for security, reliability, and readership patterns. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics or, where present, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
That information supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic counts, and page improvements. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual user profiles from ordinary visits.
Links to Other Websites
Pages link to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and sponsored search tools. Once a visitor leaves this reference, the destination's privacy policy governs the information submitted there. The third-party provider behind sponsored results controls its own collection and retention practices.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and technical service providers may process the routine logs described above. Analytics or advertising partners may receive automatic usage data where those services are enabled. Information is disclosed when a valid legal process requires it, and otherwise is kept within the ordinary operation of the reference.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the period needed for the purposes listed above. There are no visitor accounts, passwords, or user profiles maintained here for an intruder to access.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a minor may have sent information to the operators, contact us so the material can be reviewed and removed.
Your Data Rights
California's Consumer Privacy Act, including Civil Code sections 1798.105 and 1798.120, may provide access, correction, deletion, and sale-or-sharing opt-out rights, subject to its exceptions. Because this reference retains little personal data, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and relevant server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by California, Stanislaus County, or city offices remain outside our control; a removal request for one of those records must go to its custodian. California's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform may help with participating data brokers, but it does not erase a government source record.
Updates to This Policy
When this policy changes, the revised text will be posted here with its new effective date where appropriate. Continued use after publication indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
