1. Nature of This Reference
Gilroy Residents Directory is a privately operated reference to public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections concerning people who live or have lived in Gilroy, California. It describes and links to sources, but it does not host government records and is not affiliated with any office, court, or records custodian.
2. Lawful Use Rules
Use the service only for a lawful purpose. You may not use it, or information reached through it, 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
California Penal Code §646.9 addresses stalking, and §653.2 addresses certain electronic distribution of identifying information intended to cause fear or unwanted harm. Public availability is not permission to weaponize a home address, protected record, or identity clue.
3. No Consumer Reports
This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither the material here nor results from a linked search tool are consumer reports. They may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose covered by the FCRA.
4. External Links
County and state portals, libraries, courts, and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, set their own terms and privacy rules. Gilroy Residents Directory is not responsible for an outside service's content, availability, charges, or data practices.
5. No Promises
The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. No promise is made that a page is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will work or produce a correct result.
6. Liability Limits
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this service or a linked resource. That includes a decision made from a record located through it.
7. Your Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the operators from a claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that results from your misuse of the service or violation of these terms.
8. Site Materials
The original text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. A link to a page and a brief attributed quotation are welcome. Republishing full pages or systematically copying the material is not.
9. Term Updates
The operators may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
10. Access Restrictions
Access may be blocked or limited for a user who violates these terms or abuses the service. The operators may take that action at their discretion and without advance notice.
11. California Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The California Public Records Act (CPRA), Government Code §7920.000 et seq., provides a request route for identifiable, existing, nonexempt records held by state and local agencies. It does not require an agency to create a resident list, and exemptions, redactions, confidentiality programs, and purpose limits still apply.
12. If a Term Fails
If a provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
