Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited data Downey People Search receives, how that data is used, and the choices available to visitors. We collect little because the site is a reference for public records in Downey, California. It does not require an account, and it does not store government records about visitors.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search boxes on this site send the name, phone number, or address you enter to the third-party provider that supplies sponsored results. We do not keep a separate copy of those searches on our own servers. If you send a message to us, we receive the information you include and use it to respond.


Data We Gather Automatically

Our hosting systems record ordinary server-log data, such as IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We use that information in aggregate to keep the site stable and understand which 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 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 residents may have access, correction, deletion, and opt-out rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act. Because we hold very little, most requests are limited to checking our contact mailbox and server logs and removing what we find. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public records held by Downey, Los Angeles 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.
