Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Names, dates of birth, and other terms typed into a search box here go directly to the outside company that runs that tool. The company processes the query and returns the results. Nothing typed into those boxes is stored on this site's own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email, that message is kept so a reply can be sent. Messages stay with the people who run this site, and they are not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page here produces ordinary technical records about the visit. That set typically includes the following details.
- The IP address your device uses
- Your browser and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each one
- The address of any site that referred you here
- A timestamp for every page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files stored on your device that show how visitors move through the pages. Analytics services aggregate that traffic. You can block cookies in your browser at any time, though some parts of the site may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep the site online and loading quickly
- Pass a search request to the partner service that handles it
- Learn which pages help readers and which need work
- Find and fix technical problems
- Display advertising that may relate to your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant records. It publishes guidance about where Caroline County records are held and how to check them with the clerk, the District Court commissioner, the Sheriff's Office, or the jail. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing collected from visitors is assembled into consumer reports or files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes here are operated by outside companies. Whatever is entered into one of those tools is handled under that company's privacy policy, not this one. Those companies decide how long they keep data and whom they share it with, and this site has no control over those choices. Read the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages here link to court directories, the Sheriff's Office, county offices, and third-party search tools. Following one of those links takes you off this site, and the destination's own privacy policy then governs the visit. Review it before sharing personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across websites to target ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on this one.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold here. Some information may reach the following parties.
- Search partners that handle queries submitted through this site
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place ads on these pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to guard what is collected. No website connected to the internet can promise complete safety, and no promise of that kind is made here. Reasonable care is taken, and a breach cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. Personal information is not knowingly collected from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent information here, say so and it will be removed.
Your Data Rights
Maryland has no single comprehensive consumer privacy statute that governs a private website like this one. Where Maryland law gives the public a right to inspect records, that right comes from the Maryland Public Information Act (PIA), General Provisions Article, Title 4, and it applies to records a government agency holds rather than to information kept by a private site. Separately, visitors can always ask this site to:
- Provide a copy of what is held about you
- Correct information that is wrong
- Delete your data
- Stop a particular kind of processing
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may change over time. A revised version appears on this page with a new effective date, so check back if you want to follow how visitor information is handled.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
