Information You Enter
Search Terms
Names, locations, or other details typed into a partner search tool are sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and keep a limited record of the exchange. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our systems and service providers may receive routine technical details when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on pages.
- Referring website, if your browser supplies one.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic preferences, and measure how visitors use the pages. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or ads may behave differently if you do.
How We Use Information
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the provider chosen by the visitor.
- To understand which Calvert County jail, court, PIA, and locator pages are most useful.
- To diagnose broken links, errors, abuse, or security issues.
- To display advertising that may be informed by general visitor activity.
Outside Websites
Calvert County Inmate Population links to official sources such as the Calvert County Sheriff's Office, the Calvert County PIA request process, Maryland Judiciary Case Search, Maryland DPSCS, Maryland VINE, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. Maryland's Public Information Act, including General Provisions sections 4-103 and 4-201, governs public access to many Maryland government records, but official custodians decide what they can release. Once you leave this site, the outside website's own privacy notice and terms control how it handles your information.
Advertising partners and analytics providers may use their own technologies to measure activity across websites or tailor ads. That processing happens through their systems, not through a Calvert County government office.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information as a standalone customer list. Information may be available to the following parties when needed for the site to operate or when the law requires it.

- Analytics services used to measure performance and page use.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order or legal duty requires disclosure.
Security
We use standard administrative and technical practices intended to protect information handled through the site. No website, server, email system, or internet-connected service can be guaranteed as breach-proof.
