Data You Give Us Directly
Information entered into a name, phone, or address search is sent to the third-party provider that powers the result. Encinitas Residents Directory does not keep a copy of those search terms on its own servers. If you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to respond.
Data We Gather Automatically
Hosting systems may record ordinary server data such as an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We use aggregate information to maintain the pages and understand general traffic. Basic analytics, cookies, or advertising measurement may also operate where the applicable service uses them.
What We Do With This Data
We use available information to operate the reference, troubleshoot faults, measure broad use, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or build an individual profile of a reader.
Links to Other Websites
Pages link to city, county, state, court, library, archive, and third-party search resources. The linked service controls what happens after you leave these pages, under its own privacy notice and terms. Sponsored results are supplied by a third party and are covered by that provider's practices.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers may process ordinary server logs. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Information may be disclosed when a valid legal process requires it, and otherwise is limited to the operations described here.
How We Protect Your Data
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purpose that requires them. There are no user accounts, passwords, or personal profiles stored here for an attacker to access.
Users Under 18
The reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If you believe a minor sent information to us, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Your Data Rights
California's Consumer Privacy Act, Civil Code ยงยง1798.100 et seq., can provide qualifying consumers rights to know or access, correct, delete, and limit the sale or sharing of covered personal information, subject to its exceptions. California's DROP platform also provides a verified route for a resident to request deletion from registered data brokers. Because this reference keeps little information, a request generally means checking the contact mailbox and applicable server logs. Use the Contact page to ask.
Public records held by Encinitas, San Diego County, California, or a court are outside this site's control. A request to change or remove an official record must go to the responsible custodian, and a broker deletion request does not amend that underlying government record.
Updates to This Policy
