Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected when someone uses St. Mary’s County Released Inmates, how that information supports the site, and when service providers or legal authorities may receive it. Continued use of the site means acceptance of these practices.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Email and Other Messages

Messages sent by email or a contact form may be retained long enough to answer and manage the request. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Visit Data

Routine logs and measurement tools may collect basic technical facts when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages opened and time spent on them
  • The referring site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookie Controls

Cookies can help measure how visitors use the site. A browser may block or delete them, though some functions may work differently when cookies are unavailable.


Reasons for Processing Data

Collected data is used only to operate, understand, and protect the service.

  • Keep pages available and responsive

  • Measure which resources visitors use

Privacy Beyond This Domain

Links lead to Sheriff and corrections resources, public records portals, court tools, and outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy terms apply.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to observe activity across websites and select targeted ads. Their collection occurs under their policies, not this notice.

  • Analytics providers measuring site use
  • Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
  • Law enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to reduce risk. No website, network, or internet-connected storage system can be guaranteed immune from every breach or unauthorized access.


Adults Only

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion after learning that a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of personal data we hold
  • Correct inaccurate personal details
  • Erase eligible information
  • Stop certain forms of processing
