Information You Send
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the result. Our own servers do not keep a copy of those searches. If you email us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Routine Technical Logs
Hosting systems may record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Those records are reviewed in aggregate to maintain the service and understand which references are useful. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement when those services are present.
How the Data Is Used
The limited information supports site operation, fault repair, traffic counts, and editorial improvement. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual user profiles.
External Portals and Tools
Pages link to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Each outside service has its own privacy policy, which controls what happens to information submitted there. Sponsored results are also supplied by a separate provider.
Who May Process It
Hosting and technical vendors may process the server-log data needed to run the pages. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Disclosure occurs when valid legal process requires it, and not for unrelated purposes.
Security and Retention
The pages use an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described above. There are no user accounts here, so this service does not hold a password or personal profile for you.
Visitors 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 a minor may have sent information, contact us so it can be reviewed and deleted.
Your California Privacy Choices
Where the law applies, the California Consumer Privacy Act, Civil Code ยง1798.100 et seq., may provide rights to know, correct, delete, limit certain sensitive-data uses, and opt out of sale or sharing. California's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, known as DROP, began offering a single data-broker request route in January 2026; use current state instructions for eligibility and process. Because this reference keeps little data, a request normally means searching the contact mailbox and applicable logs, then deleting what can be found. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by California, San Diego County, or Lemon Grove offices are outside our control; requests about those records must go to the custodian.
Policy Changes
When this policy changes, the revised text will be posted here. Continued use after the update indicates acceptance of the new version.
