Information You Submit
A search form sends the entered name, phone number, or address to the third-party provider that returns results. Mountain View People Search does not store its own copy of those searches. A direct message contains only what the sender chooses to provide and is used to answer that contact.
Information Logged Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure records standard server logs: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We use this data in aggregate to keep the site working and to understand which pages help visitors. We may use cookies or similar technologies for basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
Log and contact data support site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, page improvements, and replies. Visitor lists are not sold, and individual user profiles are not built.
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 California Data Rights
The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, may provide rights to know, correct, or delete personal data a covered business holds. A request here can reach only contact mail and server logs; use the Contact page. Records held by Mountain View, Santa Clara County, courts, or California agencies remain under the relevant custodian's rules. California's DROP system is a separate deletion route for registered data brokers and does not erase official public records.
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.
