Information You Submit
Search Queries
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. The Charles County pages do not keep or log those terms on their own systems.
Messages You Send
An email or contact message may be retained long enough to answer the question and manage the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is needed to provide the response or the law requires it.
Automatic Technical Data
Routine server logs and analytics may receive technical details when a page loads, including:
- IP address

How Data Is Used
Collected information may be used to operate and improve page performance, send a search request to the selected provider, understand which pages visitors use, find technical faults, protect the service, and display advertising that may reflect browsing interests.
Other Sites and Services
Links may lead to the sheriff, detention center, courts, corrections agencies, government offices, news outlets, or independent search services. Once a visitor leaves these pages, the destination’s privacy notice controls its collection and use.
Advertising companies and search partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites, provide results, or tailor advertisements. Their practices are outside the control of this resource.
Limited Data Sharing
Personal information is not sold by this resource. Limited categories that may receive information include:
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Ordinary safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet service is perfectly secure. A breach, interception, or unauthorized access can never be ruled out completely.
Adults Only
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, a deletion request may be sent through Contact Us.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a visitor may ask for a copy of personal information held here, request a correction, ask for deletion, or object to or opt out of certain processing. A request should identify the information and the person making it.
Policy Revisions
This notice may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. The updated version takes effect when it is posted with its new effective date.
