Information You Enter
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results; our servers do not retain a copy of that search. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to answer you.
Information Collected by the Site
Our host records routine server-log details such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We review those details in aggregate to maintain the site and understand page use. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Site Data Is Used
We use site data to operate the pages, troubleshoot defects, measure traffic, and improve the reference material. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual user profiles.
External Websites and Search Providers
Garden Grove pages link to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The privacy policy of each outside service governs what you submit there, including the sponsored search results supplied by a third party.
Who May Receive Site Data
Hosting and support providers process server logs for the site. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information when valid legal process requires disclosure, and otherwise do not disclose it.
Security and Retention
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are kept only for as long as the purposes above require. Because the site has no accounts, it does not create a password or user profile that could be exposed here.
People 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 you believe a minor sent information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
Your California Privacy Choices
Subject to coverage and exemptions, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, can provide rights to know or access, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain sensitive-personal-information uses, and receive equal service. The California Privacy Protection Agency and California law explain the current scope. Because this site keeps little data, a request usually means checking the contact mailbox and server logs, then removing what is found. Use the Contact page to ask.
The California Public Records Act, Government Code ยงยง7920.000 et seq., applies to identifiable records held by California public agencies, not to records controlled by this site. Garden Grove, Orange County, and state custodians decide whether their own records can be disclosed, corrected, or withheld. Requests about those records must go to the office that holds them.
Policy Changes
When this policy changes, the revised text will appear on this page. Continued use after publication indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
