Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected through Allegany County Released Inmates, how that information supports site operation, and which service providers may receive it. It also explains cookies, security limits, and visitor choices. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Partner Search Entries

A name, place, or other term entered into 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.

Messages Sent to Us

Email and contact-form messages are retained as needed to answer the sender. They are not disclosed outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.


Automatic Technical Details

Normal web-server and analytics functions may collect the following details when a page loads:

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

Cookies and Similar Storage

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Most browsers allow them to be blocked or deleted, although some site or partner features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports ordinary operation and measurement. Uses may include:

  • Operating the site and maintaining performance
  • Sending a search request to the selected partner service
  • Measuring which pages visitors use
  • Finding errors and resolving technical faults
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Privacy on Linked Services

Links lead to county release-record pages, sheriff and corrections sources, government portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Some advertising providers may measure activity across more than one website to select ads. That tracking occurs through the provider’s systems and is governed by its terms.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. Information may be disclosed or routed to:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to protect information in the site’s control. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. If a minor submitted information, contact us to request deletion.


Your Information Choices

Depending on applicable law and the information held, a visitor may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal data we hold
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete eligible personal information
  • Opt out of certain forms of processing
