Privacy Policy

This policy describes information collected during a visit, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. Continued use of the website signifies acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

Names or locations entered in a search box pass directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is legally required.

Data We Gather Automatically

Loading a page can cause the servers to receive routine technical and usage details:

  • Your device's IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Operating system and device category
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Any referring website
  • Time and date of each view

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a device. Together with analytics services, they help aggregate traffic patterns, popular pages, and exit points. Browser controls can block cookies, although disabling them may change how some features work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Operate the website and maintain performance
  • Route a submitted query to the selected search partner
  • Measure which content is useful
  • Diagnose faults and security problems
  • Display interest-based advertising

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not host, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Mono County guidance identifies official custodians such as Sheriff's Records, Mono Superior Court, California Department of Justice, and the California Megan's Law Website. Visitor data is not converted into a record about another person or a consumer report. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search tools. Their privacy terms govern any information submitted to them, including retention and disclosure. Review the applicable partner policy before running a query because those practices are outside our control.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Mono County agencies, California offices, legal resources, or commercial tools. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's policy controls. Check it before providing personal information.

Advertising companies may use their own systems to observe activity across websites and select ads. We do not operate that tracking.

Who Might See Your Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may be disclosed only to:

  • A search provider receiving a query
  • Analytics vendors measuring site performance
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • A government body acting under a valid legal demand

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security measures protect the information under our control. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be deleted when brought to our attention.

Your Data Rights

Depending on eligibility and residence, the California Consumer Privacy Act, Civil Code section 1798.100 et seq., may provide additional rights. Available requests can include:

  • Access information held about you
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Seek deletion where the law permits
  • Opt out of covered processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. A new effective date will appear here when an updated version is posted.

Effective date: July 16, 2026
