Information You Send
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered into a search box are sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Imperial Beach Residents Directory does not keep a copy of those search entries on its own servers. A message sent to the contact address contains the information included in that message and may be used to answer it.
Routine Technical Logs
Hosting systems may record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and time stamps. Aggregate review helps with uptime, broken links, and page performance. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement when those services are enabled.
How Limited Data Is Used
Technical data supports site operation, fault checks, traffic counts, and content improvements. Contact information is used to respond. Visitor lists are not sold, and this reference does not build an individual profile from ordinary reading activity.
Links Beyond This Reference
Pages link to San Diego County portals, California agencies, libraries, archives, courts, and sponsored search tools. Once a reader leaves, the external provider’s privacy policy controls the submitted information. Availability, retention, and pricing are set by that provider.
Who Processes Technical Data
Hosting and support vendors can process server logs in order to run the pages. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the limited automatic information described above. Disclosure also may occur when valid legal process requires it. No other routine sharing is intended.
Security and Retention
The pages use an encrypted connection. Logs are retained only for the operating and security needs described here. There are no local accounts, passwords, or resident profiles for an attacker to access through this reference.
Visitors Under 18
The material is intended for adults and is not directed to children. If a minor sends personal information to the contact address, a parent or guardian may ask for it to be removed, and the request will be reviewed promptly.
California Privacy Choices
California’s Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives eligible consumers rights to know, correct, delete, and opt out of sale or sharing in circumstances covered by the law. The California Attorney General privacy guidance explains those rights. Because this reference keeps little direct information, a request usually means checking the contact mailbox and available technical logs.
California’s Delete Act and the state’s DROP program address registered data brokers. The official DROP information describes the state channel for eligible deletion requests. Those business-facing rights do not require San Diego County, a court, or an archive to erase a lawful public record that it must retain.
Use the Contact page for a privacy question about this reference. Requests concerning an assessor, court, voter, vital, deed, or city record must go to the custodian office.
