Data You Give Us Directly
Information entered into a search form, such as a name, phone number, or address, is sent to the third-party provider that operates that search tool. Tulare Residents Directory does not keep a copy of those searches on its own servers. If you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to respond or route a correction question.
Data Collected Automatically
Our host may retain ordinary server-log data such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We use aggregate information to keep the pages available and understand which local-record topics are useful. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics or, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How We Use the Information
Contact details are used to answer a message, investigate a reported broken link, or clarify a source. Log data is used for security, troubleshooting, aggregate performance, and site improvement. We do not use reader messages to create a Tulare resident list, and we do not alter a county, city, state, court, or library record.
Links to Other Websites
The pages link to the Tulare County Assessor/Clerk-Recorder, City of Tulare, Superior Court, California agencies, USPS, the State Archives, the library, and other custodians. Those destinations have their own privacy notices, forms, cookies, fees, and retention practices. A visit to an outside portal is governed by that portal's terms.
Who May Receive Data
Hosting and technical service providers may process server logs in order to deliver the pages. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above where those services are enabled. We disclose information when valid legal process requires it or when needed to protect the service, and not as a way to publish a resident record.
How We Protect It
Access to contact messages and technical systems is limited to the people and services needed to operate the reference. No security measure is perfect, and no online transmission can be promised completely secure. If a message contains a sensitive detail that is not needed to answer a source question, do not include it.
Readers Under 18
The reference is not directed at collecting information from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child supplied personal information may use the Contact page to ask what limited data is present. We will review the request and remove information we control when appropriate.
Your California Data Rights
California's Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA and codified in Civil Code section 1798.100 and following, gives covered-business consumers rights that may include knowing, deleting, correcting, and opting out of sale or sharing, subject to exceptions. Because this reference keeps little direct data, a request usually concerns a contact message or server-log record rather than a public record held by Tulare County or the City.
California's Delete Act, Senate Bill 362, added Civil Code section 1798.99.80 and following and created the California Privacy Protection Agency's DROP platform. Since January 1, 2026, a California resident can send one free deletion or do-not-sell request to registered data brokers through the official system. Beginning August 1, 2026, brokers process DROP requests at least every 45 days. Use the official DROP information and DROP process explanation for current instructions.
For an ordinary covered-business request, use the business's California privacy-choice or privacy-request link, select the right being exercised, complete reasonable verification, keep the confirmation, and contact the California Privacy Protection Agency if the business does not respond. The state's privacy-request guide explains that route. A request to a public-record custodian must go to that custodian under its own law and procedure.
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy when the reference, search tools, or applicable law changes. The current version is posted here with its effective date or latest update when one is supplied. Questions about this policy can be sent through the Contact page.
