Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party provider that powers that result. Compton Residents Directory does not keep a copy of those search entries on its own servers. If you contact the operators, the message contains whatever information you choose to include, and it is used to respond.
Automatic Technical Logs
The hosting service may record ordinary server information such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. These details can be viewed in aggregate to maintain the pages and understand general traffic. Basic cookies, analytics, or advertising measurement may also operate where the hosting and service configuration allows them.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate the reference, troubleshoot errors, measure traffic, and improve content. Visitor lists are not sold, and the operators do not intentionally build individual profiles from the small amount of information described here.
Links to Other Services
Pages link to Compton and Los Angeles County offices, California portals, libraries, archives, and sponsored search tools. Once a visitor leaves for an external resource, that provider's privacy policy and terms control the submitted information. External portals may collect data under their own practices.
Who May Process Logs
Hosting and technical service providers can process server logs to keep the reference available. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Information may also be disclosed when a valid legal process requires it; it is not otherwise disclosed as a routine practice.
Security and Retention
Pages are served over an encrypted connection, and logs are kept only for the operational purposes that require them. There are no Compton Residents Directory accounts, so the service does not hold a visitor password or profile that can be exposed through an account breach.
Visitors Under 18
The reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. The operators do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor sent information, contact the operators so the information can be reviewed and deleted when appropriate.
California Privacy Choices
California's Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, is codified in Civil Code section 1798.100 and following. Depending on the person and the business involved, covered rights can include knowing about, accessing, correcting, or deleting personal information subject to exceptions, opting out of sale or sharing, limiting certain sensitive-information uses, and receiving nondiscriminatory treatment.
Because Compton Residents Directory keeps very little, a request usually involves checking the contact mailbox and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public deeds, court records, voter files, city logs, and directory volumes held by Compton, Los Angeles County, or California custodians are outside the operators' control. A request to change or remove those records must go to the office that created or holds them. The California Attorney General privacy guidance explains the state consumer route.
Updates to This Policy
A revised privacy policy will be posted here with the updated wording. Continued use of Compton Residents Directory after a change indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
