What the feeds contain

The feeds are public records about businesses. A row names a business, where it is, and a dated event on a public register: a notice filed against an employer, a license whose insurance policy is expiring, an application for a new license. Each feed page lists the exact columns it carries.

The feeds contain business entities only. Public Record Feeds does not sell information about individuals. Before any file is built, these rules run in code:

• Sole owner and individual licensees are dropped, not exported.
• The PAGA source's plaintiff name and attorney name fields are not stored and not sent.
• A row whose business name reads as a person's name is dropped by a name check, unless CSLB lists the license as a corporation or a limited liability company. The check is deliberately blunt and removes some real companies too. ABC rows follow an owner rule instead: a row is dropped when the name it would be sold under is the primary owner's name, because there is no trading name or the trading name is the owner's name, and that name reads as a person's name or as two or more people's. A trading name that differs from the owner's name is kept whatever it reads like.
• A phone number is exported only when it belongs to a business, not to a person.
• Email addresses and phone numbers are blanked in every column except the business phone column, whichever column they turned up in. The policy number column is checked for email addresses only, since a ten-digit policy number looks like a phone number.

The name checks read how a name is written, so a business named for a person keeps that name. The law firm named on a filing is exported as the source publishes it, so it can include a lawyer's name when the firm is named for them. We blank that field when it reads as a bare personal name, a name with a credential such as Esq, or a self-represented filer, and when it carries an email address or a phone number.

Where the records come from

• PAGA notices: California Labor and Workforce Development Agency, PAGA case search.
• Contractor workers' comp renewals: California Contractors State License Board, public data portal.
• ABC license applications: California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, new applications report.

The records are published by those agencies. Public Record Feeds collects them, filters them, cuts them by geography and delivers them on a schedule. Nothing is bought from a data broker and nothing is scraped from a private source.

What is stored about customers

• An email address, so the feed can be delivered.
• A Stripe customer id and a Stripe subscription id, so a subscription can be matched to a delivery and cancelled when it ends.
• A record of each delivery: which subscription, which period, how many rows, and whether it was sent.

Card details are handled by Stripe and never reach this site. Payment and billing are subject to Stripe's own privacy policy.

Tracking

The site counts page views with Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and does not identify visitors. There is no advertising pixel and no tracking cookie. The emails carry no tracking pixel and no click tracking. Nothing here sets a cookie, so there is no cookie banner to click.

Keeping and deleting data

An unsubscribe link is in every email and stops delivery straight away. Cancelling the subscription in the billing portal stops both the billing and the delivery. To have the email address and the delivery records deleted, ask and it is done.
