Data You Send Directly
Information entered in a search form, such as a name, phone number, or address, is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the result. Pacifica Residents Directory does not keep a copy of those search terms on its own servers. If you email or otherwise contact us, we receive the information included in your message and use it to respond.
Data Collected Automatically
Hosting systems may record ordinary server-log information, including IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We use aggregate information to maintain the service and understand which reference pages are useful. Basic cookies or similar tools may also support analytics or, when present, advertising measurement.
How We Use It
We use available information to operate the pages, diagnose faults, measure general traffic, and improve the reference. We do not sell visitor lists or build an individual profile from ordinary visits.
External Links and Search Services
Pages link to county and state portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search tools. Once a reader leaves Pacifica Residents Directory, the linked provider's privacy policy controls what is submitted and retained. The same applies to sponsored result boxes supplied by another company.
Who May Process Data
Hosting and technical service providers may process server logs for site operation. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Information may also be disclosed when valid legal process requires it; otherwise, we do not provide visitor data as a routine practice.
Security Measures
The service is delivered over an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purpose that requires them. There are no user accounts here, so Pacifica Residents Directory does not hold a password or personal profile for a visitor.
People Under 18
The reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from someone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor sent us information, use the Contact page so the material can be reviewed and deleted when appropriate.
Your California Privacy Choices
California's Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, is codified at Civil Code section 1798.100 and following. Depending on the applicable rule and your status, rights can include knowing, correcting, deleting subject to exceptions, opting out of sale or sharing, using Global Privacy Control, limiting certain sensitive-information uses, and receiving equal service. These rights generally address qualifying businesses and do not erase public records held by a government custodian.
Because Pacifica Residents Directory keeps very little, a request usually means checking the contact mailbox and relevant server logs for the information described above. Use the Contact page to ask. The California Public Records Act, Government Code division 10, sections 7920.000-7931.000, governs requests to state and local custodians, not data held by this private reference.
Policy Changes
If this policy changes, the revised text will be posted here with its effective date when appropriate. Continuing to use the reference after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
