Search Terms
A name or location entered in a search box passes to the outside provider that operates that tool. Maryland Released Inmates does not store or log those query terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain it as needed to respond. We do not share a message beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

How Information Is Used

Privacy Beyond This Site
Links lead to jail and corrections pages, government portals, Maryland locality sites, and outside search tools. Once you follow a link, the destination's privacy terms control its collection and use.
Advertising partners may measure activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems and policies, not under this site's direct control.
Official systems may display names, custody or status facts, case summaries, dates, and photographs under their own rules. Maryland Released Inmates does not ask visitors to submit or reconstruct juvenile, expunged, shielded, sealed, victim, medical, or other protected information. Instructional references should point to the authoritative record and avoid needless personal details.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be handled by:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to a public website. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Use by Minors
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law and the data held, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete eligible information
- Honor an available opt-out from certain processing
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the site or applicable practices change. A new version will appear here with an updated effective date.
