Privacy Policy

This policy describes what Costa Mesa People Search collects, how that data is used, and what choices visitors have. The site is a private reference for public records and directories in Costa Mesa, California. It does not require an account, and it does not maintain a public-record file about you.

Data You Give Us Directly

The search forms pass the name, phone number, or address you enter to the third-party provider that powers the sponsored results. We do not store a copy of those searches on our own servers. If you contact us, we receive the details you choose to send and use them to respond.


Data We Gather Automatically

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure records standard server logs: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We use this data in aggregate to keep the site working and to understand which pages help visitors. We may use cookies or similar technologies for basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.


What We Do With This Data

We use the data described above to operate the site, fix problems, measure traffic, and improve pages. We do not sell a list of our visitors. We do not build profiles of individual users.


Links to Other Websites

This site links to government portals, county and state records offices, library collections, and third-party search tools. Each of those sites has its own privacy policy, and data you submit there is governed by their rules, not ours. This is especially true of the sponsored search results on this site, which are provided by a third-party company.


Who Might See Your Data

Service providers that host and support this site process server logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We will disclose data if a valid legal process requires it. We do not otherwise share visitor data.


How We Protect Your Data

The site is served over an encrypted connection. We retain server logs only as long as needed for the purposes above. Because we do not run accounts, there is no password or profile of yours to breach on this site.


Users Under 18

This site is not directed at children and is intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, contact us and we will delete it.


Your Data Rights

California privacy law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, may give California residents rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, and limit some uses of sensitive personal information. The Delete Act and California Privacy Protection Agency DROP system also affect registered data brokers. Because this site holds very little, most requests are limited to checking contact messages and server logs. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public records held by Costa Mesa, Orange County, or California offices are outside our control; removal or correction requests for those records must go to the custodian office.


Updates to This Policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
