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. Mountain House Residents Directory does not keep a copy of those search entries on its own servers. A message sent to the contact address is used only to read and answer that message.
Routine Technical Logs
Hosting systems may record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. These details are reviewed in aggregate for reliability and traffic measurement. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may use cookies or similar tools where they are enabled.
Why Limited Data Is Used
Technical data helps operate the pages, find faults, understand general traffic, and improve the reference. Visitor lists are not sold, and individual reader profiles are not built from ordinary site use.
External Portals and Tools
Pages link to California and San Joaquin records offices, libraries, archives, and sponsored search tools. Once a link is followed, the destination’s privacy policy controls the information submitted there. Availability, retention, and data practices belong to that outside provider.
Who Can Process It
Hosting and technical service providers may process the routine logs described above. Analytics or advertising partners may receive those automatic signals when their tools are active. Information is disclosed when valid legal process requires it, not as a routine sale of visitor data.
Security and Retention
The site uses an encrypted connection, and ordinary logs are retained only while they serve the purposes listed above. There are no visitor accounts, passwords, or resident profiles stored here for a breach to expose.
Visitors Under 18
The reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. Personal information from someone under 18 is not knowingly collected; contact the reference desk if a minor has submitted information so it can be removed.
California Privacy Choices
California’s Consumer Privacy Act, Civil Code section 1798.100 and following provisions, can provide rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain sensitive-information uses, and receive equal service for covered business data. Because this reference keeps very little, a request usually concerns the contact mailbox or technical logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Government records held by California, San Joaquin County, or Mountain House are controlled by their custodians, not by this reference.
The California DELETE Act created the DROP process for one encrypted deletion request to registered data brokers. Removing a broker profile does not erase a lawful deed, court index, license, or other government record. Requests for those records belong with the office that holds them.
Policy Changes
When this policy changes, the revised text will be posted here. Continued use after the revision takes effect indicates acceptance of the updated terms.
