Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider applies its own privacy rules.
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected
Standard technical details may be recorded when a page loads. They help operate, secure, and understand use of the site.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on them
- The referring site, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies may be used to measure how visitors use the pages. Browser controls can block cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected data supports a limited set of site functions:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending search requests to the selected partner service
- Learning which resources visitors use
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Links Beyond This Site
Links may lead to Talbot County Corrections, Maryland court or DPSCS portals, federal locators, release-record resources, and outside search providers. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under their policies, not under the direct control of this site.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by the parties needed to provide or protect the service:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Security Measures and Limits
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, however, and we do not claim that these systems are immune from every breach or misuse.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity checks, a user may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask that eligible personal data be erased
- Opt out of certain processing when that right applies
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal requirements change. A new version takes effect when it is posted here with its updated effective date.
