Data You Send Directly
When you use a search form, the name, phone number, or address you enter is sent to the third-party search provider that supplies sponsored results. We do not store those searches on our own servers. If you contact us, we receive the details you choose to send and use them only to answer or handle that message.
Data Collected Automatically
Our hosting provider records ordinary server-log data, including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We review that information in aggregate to keep the site stable and understand which Carlsbad record pages are useful. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use the data described above to run the site, troubleshoot errors, measure traffic, and improve pages. We do not sell a visitor list. We do not create individual user profiles from your activity on this site.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to government portals, San Diego County and California records offices, library collections, and third-party search tools. Those websites set their own privacy terms, and data you submit there is governed by their rules. That includes sponsored search results, which are provided by a third-party company rather than by Carlsbad People Search.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers may process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We may disclose data if valid legal process requires it. Otherwise, we do not share visitor data.
How We Protect Your Data
The site is served over an encrypted connection. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for the purposes described above. Because this site does not offer accounts, it does not hold a password, account dashboard, or profile for you.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for users who are 18 or older and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor sent personal information to us, contact us and we will delete what we can locate.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data a website holds about you. California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and California's Delete Act and DROP framework are administered by the California Privacy Protection Agency for data-broker deletion requests. Because we hold very little, most requests are narrow: we can search our contact mailbox and server logs and remove what we find. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public records held by Carlsbad, San Diego 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 revised version will be posted here. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
