Information You Enter
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Manhattan Beach Residents Directory does not retain a copy of that search on its own servers. If you send a message, the mailbox receives the details needed to read it and answer you.
Routine Technical Logs
Hosting systems may record an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and time stamps. Those logs help keep the pages available and show broad traffic patterns. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may also use cookies or similar tools when enabled by the service providers.
How the Data Is Used
The limited information supports site operation, fault repair, traffic counts, and page improvement. Visitor lists are not sold, and the reference does not build an individual user profile.
Outside Portals and Links
Pages point to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and sponsored search tools. Once you leave these pages, the outside provider's privacy policy controls what you submit and how it handles that submission. Availability, fees, and data practices are outside our control.
Who Receives Limited Data
Hosting and technical vendors may process the server-log information needed to run the pages. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Disclosure occurs when valid legal process requires it, not as a routine sale of visitor information.
Security and Retention
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes stated above and for as long as those purposes require. Because there are no user accounts, this site does not hold your password or an account profile.
Children
The reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from someone under 18. If a minor's information was sent to us, use the Contact page so it can be reviewed for deletion.
Your California Privacy Choices
Where applicable, California's CCPA/CPRA, Civil Code section 1798.100 et seq., provides rights to know, access, correct, delete, and opt out of sale or sharing, subject to its exceptions. The California DELETE Act, Civil Code sections 1798.99.80 et seq., also created the Data Broker Registry and DROP deletion platform for registered brokers. Because this reference keeps little direct visitor data, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and available technical logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by California, Los Angeles County, or Manhattan Beach remain under the control of their custodians, so a deletion or correction request for those records belongs with the responsible office.
