Information You Enter
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies that result. Seal Beach Residents Directory does not keep a copy of those searches on its own servers. If you send a message, the operators receive the details in that message and use them to respond.
Routine Technical Logs
Hosting systems may record an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time stamps. Those routine logs help maintain the service and measure page use in aggregate. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics or, where relevant, advertising measurement.
Why Information Is Used
The purposes are limited to operating the pages, diagnosing faults, understanding general traffic, and improving the reference. Visitor lists are not sold, and individual user profiles are not built here.
External Portals and Links
Pages point to county and state record systems, library collections, archives, and sponsored search tools. Once a link is followed, the destination’s privacy policy controls the information submitted there. The third-party search provider, in particular, has its own data practices.
Possible Recipients
Hosting and site-support providers may handle ordinary server logs. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Information may also be disclosed when valid legal process requires it.
Security and Retention
The connection is encrypted, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described above. Because this site has no user accounts, it does not hold a password or account profile for you.
Children
The reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact the operators if a minor has sent information so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your California Privacy Choices
California’s Consumer Privacy Act, Civil Code sections 1798.100 and following, may give a consumer rights to know, delete, correct, limit certain sensitive-information uses, and opt out of sale or sharing, subject to statutory exceptions. Global Privacy Control may serve as an opt-out signal for covered businesses. Because this site keeps little information, a request usually concerns a message or technical log. Use the Contact page to ask. Government records held by California, Orange County, or Seal Beach custodians remain under the control of those offices and are not removed through this policy.
Policy Changes
An amended version will be posted here with the revised text. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the new policy.
