Data You Give Us Directly
Search boxes on this site send the name, phone number, or address you enter to the third-party provider that powers sponsored results. We do not store those searches on our own servers. If you contact us, we receive the details you choose to send and use them to respond.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our hosting systems collect routine server logs, such as IP address, browser type, page requests, referring pages, and timestamps. We use that information in aggregate to keep the site available, diagnose problems, and understand which pages are useful. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics and, when applicable, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use the data described in this policy to operate the site, respond to messages, fix technical issues, measure traffic, and improve the content. We do not sell a visitor list. We do not build individual user profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Contra Costa County People Search links to government portals, county and state offices, library and archive collections, court pages, and sponsored search tools. Those websites follow their own privacy policies. Information you submit to the Contra Costa Clerk-Recorder, Superior Court, California Secretary of State, CDPH, a library database, or a sponsored search provider is governed by that outside site's rules.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and technical service providers may process logs or messages for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive automatic usage data as described above. We may disclose data if valid legal process requires it. Outside those situations, we do not share visitor data.
How We Protect Your Data
The site is served over an encrypted connection. Server logs are retained only as long as needed for operation, security, analytics, and troubleshooting. Because the site does not run user accounts, it does not maintain passwords or account profiles for visitors.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal information to us, contact us and we will delete it from our own systems where we can.
Your Data Rights
California privacy law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, may give California consumers rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, and limit certain sensitive-data uses by covered businesses. Because we keep very little, most requests involve checking our contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public records held by Contra Costa County, Contra Costa County departments, courts, or California agencies are outside our control; requests to restrict or correct those records must go to the custodian.
Updates to This Policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
