Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information may be received when someone visits Anne Arundel County Released Inmates, uses an outside search tool, or sends a message. It also explains how that data may be used, shared, and protected.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy applies to the query after submission.

If you send an email or contact-form message, the details you provide may be retained long enough to understand and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless doing so is required by law.


Technical Visit Data

Like most websites, the service may collect routine technical details when a page loads. These logs help operate the site and diagnose errors.

  • The visitor’s internet protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies may be used to measure how visitors move through the site. Browser settings can reject or remove cookies, although some functions may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports ordinary site operations and helps improve how pages and outside services are presented.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Measure which content visitors find useful
  • Locate and repair performance or security problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect general interests

Outside Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to Anne Arundel County release records, Maryland corrections pages, court systems, federal locators, or third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy terms control its collection and use of data.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. This site does not control those outside tracking methods.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. Limited data may reach service providers that perform a specific function or an authority acting under valid legal process.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a lawful order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to protect information within the site’s control. No internet connection, server, or storage method is entirely secure, so the site cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a user may ask to exercise the following rights.

  • Receive a copy of personal data held by the site
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of retained personal data
  • Opt out of certain processing where that right applies

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal duties change. A new version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
