1. About This Reference
California Residents Directory is privately operated. The pages point to public rolls, record indexes, and historical collections that may document people in California. No government record is hosted here, and the service is not part of an agency, court, or records office.
2. Lawful Use Rules
Use the reference only in ways allowed by law. You must not use the pages, linked tools, or information found through them to:
- Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
- Locate someone protected by a restraining or protective order
- Commit identity theft or fraud
- Make FCRA-regulated decisions (credit, employment, tenant, insurance)
- Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
- Interfere with the site's operation or security
3. No Consumer Report
California Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.). Neither these pages nor results from linked search tools are consumer reports, and they cannot be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.
4. External Websites
Government portals and other providers, including sponsored search companies, set their own terms and privacy rules. We do not control or take responsibility for their pages, fees, availability, or handling of information.
5. No Guarantee
The service is offered “as is” and when available, without a warranty. We cannot promise that a page is complete, accurate, or current, or that an outside portal will remain online or return a correct result.
6. Liability Limits
As far as the law permits, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages tied to use of these pages or an outside resource, including actions taken after viewing a record.
7. Responsibility for Misuse
You agree to protect the site operators from claims, demands, and reasonable attorneys’ fees that result from your misuse of the service or breach of these terms.
8. Copyright and Reuse
Copyright protects the original writing, layout, and marks on this site. You may link to a page or quote a short passage with credit, but do not republish full pages or copy the material systematically.
9. Updates to the Terms
Revised terms take effect when posted here. Continuing to use the service after a revision indicates acceptance of the new wording.
10. Restricting Access
We may suspend or limit access, with or without advance notice, when a user violates these terms or interferes with the service.
11. California Law
California law governs these terms, without applying conflict-of-law rules. The California Public Records Act, Government Code §§ 7920.000–7931.000, sets rules for requests to public agencies; it does not make this private reference a records custodian or override limits for voter, court, vital, or other protected records.
12. Severability
If a court finds one term unenforceable, the remaining terms continue to apply.
