Information You Submit
When a visitor enters a name, telephone number, or address into a search form, that entry goes to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of the search. A message sent to us contains only what its sender chooses to provide, and we use that material to answer the inquiry.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We review that data in aggregate to maintain the site and learn which resources visitors use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where those features apply.
How the Data Is Used
The limited data described above helps us operate the site, diagnose errors, measure visits, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual user profiles.
Privacy on Linked Websites
Links may lead to City of Hollister pages, San Benito County offices, California agencies, court portals, library collections, or third-party search tools. Information entered after leaving this site is controlled by the destination's policy. The same rule applies to sponsored results supplied by an outside company.
Parties That Process Data
Hosting and technical vendors process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatic data already described. We may disclose information when valid legal process requires it, but otherwise do not share visitor data.
Steps Used to Protect Data
An encrypted connection serves the site, and server logs are kept only as long as needed for the stated purposes. Because there are no user accounts, this site holds no visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under Age 18
This resource is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Contact us if a minor appears to have submitted such information so it can be removed.
Your Privacy Choices
Rights to access, correct, or delete personal data can depend on where a visitor lives and which entity holds the information. Our limited records can be checked in the contact mailbox and server logs, then removed when applicable. Use the Contact page for such a request. Public records held by Hollister, San Benito County, California agencies, or courts remain outside our control and must be addressed with the custodian. The California Public Records Act, Government Code section 7920.000 et seq., governs access to identifiable, non-exempt agency records; it does not turn this private site into their custodian. California residents seeking deletion from registered commercial data brokers can use the state's DROP platform, which is separate from official records.
Changes to This Policy
A revised policy will be posted here when terms change. Using the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
