Data You Provide
Search boxes on this site may send the name, phone number, or address you enter to the search provider that powers sponsored results. We do not store a copy of those searches on our own servers. If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to send and use it to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Our hosting and analytics tools may collect standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring page, and time stamps. We use that information to operate the site, troubleshoot errors, measure traffic, and improve pages.
How We Use Data
We use limited site data to keep Ceres People Search working, answer messages, monitor performance, and understand which records pages are useful. We do not sell a visitor list, and we do not create a private dossier of visitors.
Outside Websites
Ceres People Search links to official records sources, including Ceres NextRequest, Stanislaus County Clerk-Recorder, RecorderWorks, Stanislaus Superior Court, the Assessor, California My Voter Status, BizFile, DCA License Search, library collections, and archives. Each outside site has its own privacy practices. Data submitted to those sites is governed by their policies, not ours.
Public Records and California Law
Many linked records are governed by public-access laws and privacy limits, including the California Public Records Act, Government Code section 7920.000 et seq., Government Code section 7922.535, Elections Code section 2194, and Health and Safety Code section 103526. These laws control government custodians, not this private website. California data broker rules appear in Civil Code sections 1798.99.80 through 1798.99.89.
Your Choices
You can leave the site without using search tools, block cookies in your browser, or contact the relevant government custodian if a public record needs correction. We cannot remove or change records held by Ceres, Stanislaus County, California agencies, courts, or third-party services.
Policy Updates
We may update this policy as site features, laws, or linked services change. The current version is posted on this page.
