Information You Submit
Text entered in a search form, such as a name, phone number, or address, goes to the outside provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a separate copy of those searches. When you send us a message, we receive the details you choose to provide and use them to answer you.
Information Collected Automatically
Our hosting systems create ordinary logs that may contain an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. Aggregated log data helps us maintain the site and see which material visitors use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where applicable.
How We Use Information
We use this limited data to run the service, diagnose faults, measure visits, and improve the content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual user profiles.
Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to government portals, Monterey County and California offices, libraries, or outside search services. Information submitted after leaving this site is controlled by the destination's privacy terms. The same rule applies to sponsored results supplied by a third party.
Parties That May Process Data
Hosting and support vendors process logs for us, while analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatic information described above. We may disclose data when valid legal process requires it. Visitor data is not otherwise shared.
Steps Used to Protect Data
An encrypted connection serves the site, and logs are kept only for as long as their stated purposes require. Since visitors do not create accounts, this service stores no user password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect a minor's personal information. Contact us if a person under 18 submitted such information so we can remove it.
California Privacy Rights
The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, may give California consumers rights to know, correct, delete, or opt out with respect to covered businesses. Our limited holdings generally consist of contact messages and server logs, which we can search when a request applies. Use the Contact page to submit a request. Official records controlled by Monterey County or California agencies are outside our control, so correction or removal requests for those records must go to the responsible custodian.
Changes to This Policy
Any revised policy will appear here. By continuing to use the site after an update, you accept the revised version.
