Doing well
- A notification system that alerts residents when their records are accessed
Room to grow
Our 2026 audit could not reach Santa Cruz County's records portal at the time of the scan, so this letter may be incomplete. If protections are already in place, please consider this a friendly request to confirm.
What to ask for
Three low-cost protections that residents in other counties have found valuable:
1. Adding robots.txt rules that disallow automated scrapers
2. Including a Terms of Use that prohibits automated access
3. Implementing a notification system that alerts residents when their records are accessed (per the AZ, FL, HI, IL, UT model)
