1. Nature of This Site
Oakland People Search is a privately run reference resource. It describes and links to public records, court indexes, directories, and lookup portals serving Oakland, Alameda County, and California. No government records are hosted here, and the site has no affiliation with a public agency, court, or records custodian.

3. No Consumer Reports
Oakland People Search is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. Information here, including results from linked or embedded tools, is not a consumer report. It may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.
4. External Services
Government portals, sponsored search tools, and other third-party services have separate 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" with no express or implied warranty. We cannot promise that its content is complete, accurate, or current, or that an Alameda County, Oakland, California, or third-party portal will remain available or produce correct results.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages caused by use of this site or a linked resource, including reliance on records found through either.

9. Changes to These Terms
A new version may be posted here at any time. Continuing to use the site after publication means you accept the revised terms.
10. Restricting Access
We may restrict or block access without notice when a user abuses the site or violates these terms.
11. Governing Law
California law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules. References to access to Oakland and Alameda County agency records concern the California Public Records Act, Government Code section 7920.000 et seq.; that statute governs public agencies and does not turn this private site into a records custodian.
12. Severability
If one provision is held unenforceable, every remaining provision continues in effect.
