Data You Give Us Directly
Search forms on this site send the terms you enter, such as a name, phone number, or address, to the third-party provider that returns sponsored results. We do not keep copies of those searches on our own servers. If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to send and use it to reply.
Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure records standard server logs, including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate to keep the site working and to understand which pages are useful. Cookies or similar technologies may be used for basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use the data described above to operate the site, repair problems, measure traffic, and improve pages. We do not sell visitor lists. We also do not build individual user profiles from site visits.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to government portals, Imperial County and California records offices, library collections, and third-party search tools. Each outside site has its own privacy policy, and data submitted there is governed by that site's rules, not ours. Sponsored search results are also provided by a third-party company.
Who Might See Your Data
Service providers that host and support this site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We will disclose data if valid legal process requires it. We do not otherwise share visitor data.
How Data Is Protected
The site is served over an encrypted connection. Server logs are retained only as long as needed for the purposes above. Because we do not run user accounts, this site does not hold visitor passwords or account 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 sent 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 the California Privacy Protection Agency, the Delete Act, DROP, and Civil Code ยง 1798.99.82. Because we hold almost nothing, 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 El Centro, Imperial 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 here. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
