Information You Enter
A name, phone number, or address typed into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the sponsored results. San Dimas Residents Directory does not keep a copy of those searches on its own servers. If you send a message through the contact route, the operators see the contents of that message and use them to respond.
Routine Technical Logs
Hosting systems may record an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. Those ordinary logs are reviewed in aggregate for security, uptime, and page improvement. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.
How the Information Is Used
Technical and message data are used to operate the reference, diagnose faults, measure general traffic, improve content, and answer correspondence. The operators do not sell visitor lists or build an individual profile from the public-record searches described on the pages.
Outside Portals and Providers
County and state record portals, libraries, archives, and sponsored search providers have their own privacy terms. What a reader submits after following one of those links is governed by the receiving service’s policy, not this one. Availability, fees, and data practices belong to that provider.
Who Can Process Technical Data
Hosting and support providers can process the server logs needed to keep the pages available. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the limited automatic data described above. Information may be disclosed when valid legal process requires it, and otherwise is not shared as a visitor list.
Security and Retention
The site is served over an encrypted connection. Logs are retained only for the operational and security purposes that require them. There are no site accounts, so this service does not maintain a reader password or profile that could be exposed.
Readers Under 18
The reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. The operators do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information to the contact mailbox, use the Contact page so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
California Privacy Rights
California’s Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, appears in Civil Code section 1798.100 and following. Depending on the circumstances, a California resident may have rights to access, correct, delete, limit certain sensitive-data uses, and opt out of sale or sharing by a covered business. The California Attorney General privacy information explains the statutory framework.
California’s DROP program at privacy.ca.gov/drop provides a separate deletion request for registered data brokers. That request does not erase lawful deeds, court files, or other public records and does not control a government custodian’s retention duty. Requests about data held by this reference can be sent through the Contact page; public records held by San Dimas, Los Angeles County, or California offices must be addressed to their custodians.
Changes to This Policy
If the handling described here changes, a revised version will be posted on this page. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
Requests concerning a city record should follow the California Public Records Act, Government Code Division 10, sections 7920.000 and following, and go to the agency that holds the record.
