Information You Submit
When you use a search form here, the name, phone number, or address you enter is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. We do not maintain our own database of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the details you decide to send and use them only to review and respond to that message.
Information Collected Automatically
Our hosting systems may record ordinary technical logs, including IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring page, and timestamps. We use that information in aggregate to keep the site reliable and understand which Burlingame record guides are useful. Cookies or similar technologies may be used for basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How This Information Is Used
We use the information described above to operate the site, troubleshoot errors, measure traffic, and improve pages about Burlingame, San Mateo County, and California record sources. We do not sell a visitor list, and we do not create individual user profiles from site activity.
Links to Outside Websites
This site links to the Burlingame Public Records page, San Mateo County RecorderWorks, San Mateo Superior Court MIDX, California Secretary of State voter resources, vital-record offices, library collections, and third-party search tools. Each external site follows its own privacy policy. Information you submit there is governed by that site's rules, including sponsored search results supplied by a third-party company.
Who May Process Site Data
Hosting and support vendors process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic technical data described above. We may disclose information when valid legal process requires it. Apart from those limited uses, we do not share visitor data.
Security and Retention
The site is served over an encrypted connection. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for site operation, security, analytics, and troubleshooting. Because this site does not offer accounts, it does not store an account password or member profile for you.
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 rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, including rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of certain sale or sharing of personal information when a covered business holds that data. Because this site keeps very little, most requests involve checking our contact mailbox and available server logs, then deleting what we can. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public records held by the City of Burlingame, San Mateo County, California agencies, or the courts are outside our control. Commercial data brokers are also separate from official records custodians; deleting a broker profile does not erase a court, recorder, assessor, voter, or vital record.
Policy Updates
If this policy changes, the revised version will appear on this page. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the updated policy.
