Information You Enter
A name, telephone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Our own servers do not retain a copy of those search terms. If a reader contacts us, the mailbox receives the information included in that message and uses it to respond.
Routine Technical Logs
Hosting systems ordinarily record an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We use those logs in aggregate to maintain Benicia Residents Directory and understand which references are useful. Basic analytics, cookies, or comparable tools may also support measurement or advertising where they are enabled.
How Information Is Used
The limited information is used to operate the reference, fix technical problems, measure traffic, and improve the text. Visitor lists are not sold, and individual user profiles are not built from the information described here.
Links to Outside Portals
Benicia Residents Directory links to Solano court services, the Official Records search, California record portals, library databases, archives, and third-party search tools. Information entered on those services is governed by their own privacy terms. That includes sponsored results supplied by an outside provider.
Who Processes the Data
Hosting and support providers may process server logs for the purposes above. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described in this policy. Data is disclosed when valid legal process requires it and otherwise is not shared beyond the service relationships needed to run the reference.
Security and Retention
The connection is encrypted, and logs are retained only for the period needed for the purposes stated here. There are no user accounts on Benicia Residents Directory, so the reference does not hold a visitor password or personal profile that could be exposed.
Visitors Under 18
The reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor is believed to have sent information, contact us so the material can be located and deleted.
California Privacy Choices
Where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act, Civil Code section 1798.100 and following, provides rights to know or access, delete, correct, limit certain sensitive-information uses, and opt out of sale or sharing. Because Benicia Residents Directory keeps very little, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and relevant server logs, then removing what is found. Use the Contact page for that request.
The California Public Records Act, Government Code sections 7920.000-7931.000, governs identifiable records held by public agencies, not data controlled by this reference. A deed, court file, voter record, or certificate held by a state, county, or city custodian must be addressed to that office. Commercial data-broker choices, including California's DROP process, do not rewrite a source record retained by law.
Policy Changes
When this policy changes, the revised text will be posted here. Continued use of Benicia Residents Directory after a revision indicates acceptance of the updated terms.
