Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form goes to the outside provider that supplies its results. Our servers do not retain a separate search copy. A direct message contains only what its sender chooses to provide, and that information is used to answer the inquiry.
Automatic Technical Data
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and time stamps. Aggregated logs help maintain the service and show which resources are useful. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, when used, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Limited data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell a visitor list nor create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to government portals, county and state records offices, library collections, and third-party search tools. Each of those sites has its own privacy policy, and data you submit there is governed by their rules, not ours. This is especially true of the sponsored search results on this site, which are provided by a third-party company.
Who Might See Your Data
Service providers that host and support this site process server logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We will disclose data if a valid legal process requires it. We do not otherwise share visitor data.
How We Protect Your Data
The site is served over an encrypted connection. We retain server logs only as long as needed for the purposes above. Because we do not run accounts, there is no password or profile of yours to breach on this site.
Users Under 18
This site is not directed at children and is intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data a website holds about you. The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act, Commercial Law ยง14-4601 et seq., provides rights and duties within its scope. Because we retain little visitor data, a request normally concerns contact mail or server logs. Use the Contact page to make one. Government records held by Anne Arundel County or Maryland remain under the custodian's control, so correction or restriction requests for those records must go to that office.
Updates to This Policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
