There are many people that do not realize about accessing any of the records or information on the Orange County public records website or by accessing them in person. In this age of instant electronic communications there is almost no information that you can keep from being seen no matter how hard you try to electronically cover your tracks; and this is especially true when it comes to e-mail addresses, IP addresses and the contents of e-mails.

If you are thinking that you can keep your e-mail address, your name and the details of your electronic communications (e-mails), and/or IP address hidden from sight when you are e-mailing the Clerk of Court or anyone in their office about anything that you see or have seen on the Orange County public records website or have heard about and wanted to e-mail the Court Clerk’s office to get clarification about anything that you have heard or read. There is almost nothing that is hidden from view when you are e-mailing the Court Clerk’s office, so you need to remember that what you think is actually a private message is not really that private in the first place.

There is nothing that you can really hide from those that work for or are associated with any local, county, state or federal authority when it comes to sending out e-mails and even when you are corresponding via the regular postal mail. Whatever information you put into any e-mail or that you put into writing on paper is going to permanently become part of the Orange County public records for everyone to be able to see and read and respond to. Remember the old saying “If you can’t say something nice, then do not say anything at all.” This also holds just as true in this age of e-mail and instant messaging as it did the day that it was originally spoken so long ago.

This is not a case where you can really hide your personal information from public view, especially when you are dealing with the Orange County public records website and those that are in charge of sending out the requested information to those who have asked for it. There have been quite a few times in this article that the phrase “you cannot hide your personal information” has been repeated, and there is a very specific reason for this, it is meant to remind all the readers that if you think that you are hiding any information or think that you can; you need to think again.
