Privacy and Website Use

Doyle Fire Protection District

Website Privacy & Use Policy

Effective Date: September 21, 2026 Last Updated: September 21, 2026

The Doyle Fire Protection District (“DFPD,” “District,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website to provide public information, community resources, department information, non-emergency communication, and other services related to the District.

This policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, disclosed, and protected when you use the DFPD website.

Because DFPD is a California public agency, information maintained by the District may be subject to California laws governing public records, privacy, records retention, disclosure, and confidentiality. Nothing in this policy is intended to create a promise of confidentiality or prevent disclosure when disclosure is required or permitted by law.

1. Public Website Access

Most public pages of this website may be viewed without creating a department account or providing personal information.

Some website features and forms may ask you to provide information so that DFPD can review and respond to your request.

You do not need a department account simply to view publicly available information on this website.

2. Information Submitted Through Website Forms

DFPD provides online forms for non-emergency communication and community requests.

Depending on the form, we may collect information such as:

• Your name
• Email address
• Contact information
• The message, request, concern, or other information you voluntarily provide
• Your acknowledgment or consent where applicable
• Technical information associated with the submission when necessary to operate, secure, or investigate the website

Information submitted through a website form is provided to DFPD for review and handling by authorized District personnel.

Website submissions are not automatically published to the public.

However, submitting information to a California public agency does not necessarily make that information confidential. Records created, received, or maintained by DFPD may be subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act or other applicable law, unless an applicable exemption, confidentiality requirement, privilege, or other law applies.

DFPD may retain submissions when required by law, applicable records-retention requirements, or legitimate District business needs.
