Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, location, or other term entered in a sponsored search box is sent 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 governs its receipt and use of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the message and reply details as needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatically Collected Data
Like most websites, the service may receive basic technical and usage details when a page loads. These records help operate, secure, and improve the site.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring site, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the pages and to support site functions. Browser settings can block or remove cookies. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
Collected information supports operation of the Garrett County resource and the services connected to it.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send sponsored search requests to the selected provider
- Measure which content readers find useful
- Identify errors, abuse, and technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect likely interests
External Websites and Services
These pages link to Garrett County release records, Sheriff and correctional sources, Maryland court tools, federal locators, and outside search providers. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and select ads. That cross-site activity occurs under the partner’s technology and policy, not as a government-record function of this site.
Parties Receiving Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may nevertheless be processed or disclosed to limited parties that support the service or have lawful authority.
- Search partners that receive queries submitted to their tools
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver and assess ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Data Security
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information under our control. No internet-connected service, transmission, or storage method is fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach, interception, or technical failure will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted information, contact us to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of our records, a person may ask us to address personal information we hold.
- Request a copy of personal data held about you
- Correct information that is inaccurate
- Ask for deletion of information we control
- Object to or opt out of certain processing when available
These choices apply to data controlled by this site. A request about the Garrett County Sheriff Arrest Log, Maryland Case Search, DPSCS, or another outside source must go to that source.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as the service, vendors, or legal requirements change. A revised notice will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
