Information You Send
Search terms entered into a name, phone, or address widget are sent to the third-party provider that operates the results. The operators of Aliso Viejo Residents Directory do not keep a copy of those searches. A message sent through a contact channel contains whatever details the sender chooses to include and is used to answer that message.
Information Collected in the Background
Hosting systems may record a normal server log, such as an IP address, browser type, requested URL, and timestamp. Aggregate review helps identify broken pages and general use patterns. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics or, when present, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Contact details are used to respond, and technical logs are used to maintain, secure, and understand the service. The operators do not create a private resident file from searches. They do not sell a search history as a residents list.
Links to Other Services
Pages link to county, city, state, court, library, archive, and third-party resources. Once a reader leaves these pages, the linked provider's privacy policy and data practices control. Review the destination's terms before entering personal information.
Who May Receive Information
Hosting vendors, analytics providers, advertising partners where enabled, and a records-search provider may process limited technical or submitted data to provide their services. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect security, or to address abuse. No government record is stored here for distribution.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used for the small amount of information handled here. No internet transmission or storage system is guaranteed secure. Avoid entering sensitive identifiers into a search widget unless the official destination clearly requires them.
Children Under 18
This reference is not directed to children under 13, and the operators do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If a parent or guardian believes a child submitted information, use the Contact page to request review.
Your California Privacy Choices
California's Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, appears in Civil Code section 1798.100 and following. Depending on coverage and exceptions, a consumer may have rights to know, correct, delete, opt out of sale or sharing, and limit certain sensitive-information uses. The Delete Act, Senate Bill 362, adds data-broker registration and a centralized deletion mechanism under Civil Code section 1798.99.80 and following.
Because this reference keeps little information, a request normally means checking the contact mailbox and available server records. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Aliso Viejo, Orange County, or California offices are outside the operators' control; correction or deletion requests for those records belong with the custodian. The California Public Records Act, Government Code section 7920.000 and following, governs access to public-business writings, not removal from this private reference.
