Information You Submit
Search Queries
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages
Email or contact-form messages may be retained so we can reply. They are not shared outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics records may receive these details when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page, when available
- Date and time records
Cookies
Cookies help measure use of the site. You can block them in your browser, although some functions may then behave differently.

Privacy Beyond Our Pages
Links lead to county custody pages, police and sheriff resources, Maryland corrections and court portals, federal locators, and outside search tools. The destination's privacy policy governs once you leave.
Advertising partners may track activity across sites to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems, not ours.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach:
- Search partners handling queries
- Analytics providers measuring use
- Advertising networks delivering ads
- Law enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Our Security Approach
We use standard safeguards suited to the information handled. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data held
- Request correction of inaccurate data
