Information You Provide
Search Queries
Names, locations, or other terms typed into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that operates that search tool. This site does not run those partner databases and does not control how a partner processes a submitted query.
Contact Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the details you provide may be kept long enough to review and answer it. Messages are not sold. They may be shared only when needed to operate the site, respond to the message, or comply with a lawful requirement.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when a page loads. That can include IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring page, approximate location derived from technical data, and the time of the visit. Cookies or similar tools may help remember settings, measure traffic, support ads, and keep the site working.
How Information Is Used
- To operate, maintain, and improve the site.
- To understand which inmate-record topics and facility pages are used most often.
- To respond to messages sent to the site.
- To support search tools, analytics, advertising, and fraud prevention.
- To comply with legal duties, court orders, or law-enforcement requests when required.
Outside Links and Partners
The site links to county offices, Maryland Judiciary, Maryland DPSCS, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search providers. Those outside sites have their own privacy practices. Review their notices before submitting personal details, payment data, or search terms.
Who May Receive Information
Information may be processed by hosting providers, analytics services, advertising networks, search partners, security vendors, or contractors that help operate the site. It may also be disclosed if required by subpoena, court order, law, or a valid request from law enforcement. Maryland public-record access is governed in part by the Maryland Public Information Act, including General Provisions sections 4-201 through 4-203, but this site is not a public agency or records custodian.
Security
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information handled by the site, but no website can promise perfect security. Avoid sending sensitive personal, financial, medical, or legal information through ordinary email or web forms.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 18. It should not be used by minors to submit personal information.
Your Choices
You may block cookies in your browser, leave the site instead of using a partner search tool, or contact the site about a message you previously sent. Some rights depend on state law and the type of information involved. Official jail, court, and corrections records must be corrected or requested through the agency that maintains them.
Policy Updates
This notice may be changed as the site, search partners, legal duties, or advertising tools change. The updated version applies when posted.
