Information You Enter
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies those results. Our own servers do not retain a copy of the search terms. If you contact us, the mailbox receives the details in your message and uses them to answer.
Information Collected Automatically
Hosting systems may record ordinary server data such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time stamps. We review that information in aggregate to maintain the service and understand broad page use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or, where present, advertising measurement.
How the Data Is Used
The purposes are ordinary site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvement. Dana Point Residents Directory does not sell visitor lists or create individual user profiles.
External Links
Links lead to county and state portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search tools. Once you leave Dana Point Residents Directory, the destination's privacy policy controls what it receives. Sponsored search results are supplied by a separate provider and follow that provider's practices.
Who May Receive Information
Hosting and technical service providers may process server logs while supporting the service. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Disclosure can also occur when valid legal process requires it; otherwise, the site does not share contact information for unrelated use.
Security and Retention
The connection is encrypted, and logs are retained only for as long as the purposes above require. Because there are no accounts, Dana Point Residents Directory does not hold a site password or user profile that could be exposed.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information, contact us so it can be reviewed and deleted when appropriate.
Your California Privacy Rights
California's Consumer Privacy Act, Civil Code sections 1798.100 and following, may provide rights to know, access, correct, delete, opt out of sale or sharing, limit sensitive-personal-information use, and receive equal treatment. Because the site stores very little, a request usually means checking the contact mailbox and available logs, then removing information that is actually held. Use the Contact page to ask. The California Public Records Act, Government Code Division 10, sections 7920.000 through 7931.000, governs records held by public agencies, not by this private reference. Requests about a deed, court file, voter record, or city record must go to its custodian.
Policy Changes
Revisions will appear on this page with the updated wording. Continued use after a revision indicates acceptance of the changed policy.
