Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Our own servers do not keep a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to answer it.
Automatic Log Information
The hosting service records routine server data such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time stamps. We review that information in aggregate to maintain the service and understand which Fountain Valley reference pages are used. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How the Information Is Used
We use available information to operate the reference, troubleshoot problems, measure traffic, and improve the pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual user profiles from the small amount of information that reaches us.
Links to County, State, and Other Sites
Links may lead to the Fountain Valley public-records page, the Orange County Assessor, the Orange County Clerk-Recorder, OC Public Libraries, California courts, or a third-party search tool. The destination's policy controls anything submitted there, not this policy. Sponsored search results are also supplied by a third party.
Record access is controlled by the custodian. California distinguishes authorized and informational certified copies under Health and Safety Code §§103526 and 103526.5. A confidential marriage record is available through the issuing county clerk to a party or by court order under Family Code §509. The Orange County "Your Voter Information" tool is an identity-gated self-lookup, not a public by-name directory; approved voter-file requests require an authorized purpose and application under Elections Code §§2188, 2194, 18109, Government Code §7924.000, and 2 CCR §§19001-19013.
Who May Receive Information
Hosting and other service providers may process the server logs needed to run the reference. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information when valid legal process requires it, and otherwise do not provide it as a routine practice.
Security and Retention
The reference uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for as long as the purposes above call for them. There are no user accounts, so this site does not hold a password or account profile that could be exposed.
Visitors Under 18
Fountain Valley Residents Directory is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor may have sent information to us, contact us so it can be reviewed and deleted.
California Privacy Choices
For covered consumers, the California Consumer Privacy Act, Civil Code §1798.100 et seq., may provide rights to know, delete, correct, limit certain sensitive-information use, and opt out of sale or sharing, subject to exemptions. California's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, or DROP, launched for consumer requests in 2026, and registered data brokers' deletion-processing duties begin August 1, 2026. Because this reference keeps little data, a request about information held here can be sent through the Contact page; we can check the contact mailbox and applicable server logs.
Those privacy routes do not make this service the custodian of a Fountain Valley or Orange County deed, assessment, court file, vital record, or voter record. Ask the office that holds a wrong record about correction or lawful redaction. The Secretary of State's Safe at Home program, governed by Government Code §6205 et seq., gives eligible participants a substitute mailing address and confidential mail forwarding, but it does not erase every historical public record.
Changes to This Policy
When this policy changes, the new wording will be posted here. Continued use of Fountain Valley Residents Directory after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
