Public Records and Personal Information
It is important to understand the nature of public records. Public records are documents and information that are created, maintained, and made available by government agencies under applicable federal, state, and local laws. By their very nature, public records may contain personal information about individuals, including names, addresses, and other identifying details.
ElPasoRecords.us provides information and guidance about how to access public records through official channels. We do not host, store, or reproduce actual public records on our website. Any personal information that appears in public records is subject to the laws and regulations governing those records, not this Privacy Policy.
If you have concerns about personal information contained within official public records, we recommend contacting the relevant government agency directly.
Data Security
We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect the information collected through our website from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include the use of secure server technology and standard industry practices for data protection.
However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You use our website and provide information at your own risk.
Children's Privacy
ElPasoRecords.us is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will take prompt steps to delete such information from our records.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us, please reach out so that we can address the matter appropriately.

These rights include the right to know what personal information is collected about you, the right to request deletion of your personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information.
As stated in this Privacy Policy, ElPasoRecords.us does not sell personal information. California residents who wish to exercise their rights under the CCPA may submit a request through the contact information provided on our website.
