Information You Send Directly
Text entered into a name, phone, or address search is sent to the third-party provider that supplies those results. Our own servers do not keep a copy of the search. If you contact us, we receive the information included in your message and use it to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Our hosting service may record ordinary server-log details such as an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the reference and understand which pages are useful. Basic cookies or similar tools may also support analytics or, when applicable, advertising measurement.
How We Use That Information
We use limited information to operate the pages, resolve technical faults, measure traffic, and improve the reference. We do not sell a visitor list or create an individual profile from ordinary use.
External Websites and Search Providers
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search services. Once you leave this reference, the destination’s privacy policy controls what you submit there. That includes the sponsored search results supplied by another company.
Who May Process Information
Hosting and technical service providers may process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Information may also be disclosed when valid legal process requires it; otherwise, we do not disclose it as a routine practice.
Security Measures
The reference is delivered over an encrypted connection, and logs are kept only as long as the operating purposes require. There are no user accounts here, so we do not hold a site password or profile that could be exposed.
People 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 you believe a minor sent information to us, contact us and we will remove what we can identify.
Your California Privacy Rights
California’s Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, provides rights that can include knowing what personal information a business collects, correcting or deleting eligible information, opting out of sale or sharing, limiting certain sensitive-information uses, and receiving equal treatment. The California Attorney General’s CCPA guidance explains the current framework. Because this reference keeps very little, a request usually means checking the contact mailbox and relevant server logs.
Use the Contact Us page to ask about information held by this reference. Public records maintained by California state, Contra Costa County, or Martinez offices are outside our control and are not removed from the source by a request to us. Contact the custodian office for a public-record correction or access question.
Changes to This Policy
When the privacy practices or legal requirements change, an updated version will be posted here. Continued use after publication of a revision means that you accept the revised policy.
