Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of San Francisco People Search. By using this site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

1. Nature of the Website

San Francisco People Search is an independent reference that identifies public-record portals, court indexes, directories, and official lookup tools for San Francisco, California. It is not part of a government agency, court, or custodian office, and it does not host government records.


2. Acceptable Use Rules

Use of the site and any information reached through it must remain lawful. Prohibited conduct includes:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
  • Locate a person 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. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq.). Nothing on this site, and nothing returned by any search tool available through it, is a consumer report. You may not use any of it to determine a person's eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other purpose that requires FCRA compliance.


4. External Website Links

Government portals, sponsored search tools, and other outside services set their own terms and policies. We do not control their content, uptime, prices, or handling of submitted data.


5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The site is offered "as is" and "as available" without express or implied warranties. No promise is made that information is complete, accurate, or current, or that an outside portal will remain available or produce correct results.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of this site or any linked resource, including decisions you make based on records found through it.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operators of this site from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your misuse of the site or your violation of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

The original text, design, logo, and layout of this site are protected by copyright. You may link to any page and quote brief excerpts with attribution. You may not republish full pages or systematically copy the site's content.


9. Revisions to These Terms

A revised version may be posted here at any time. Continued use after publication means the updated terms are accepted.


10. Cutting Off Access

We may block or restrict access to the site, at our discretion and without notice, to any user who violates these terms or abuses the site.


11. California Governing Law

California law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Government-record access discussed in the reference is governed in part by the California Public Records Act, Cal. Gov. Code section 7920.000 et seq.; that statute does not make this private site a records custodian.


12. Severability

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in full effect.
