Data You Choose to Submit
Entries in a search form, including names, telephone numbers, and addresses, go to the third-party results provider. We do not keep a separate copy of those searches. When someone sends a contact message, we receive the details that person elects to include and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure records standard server logs: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We use this data in aggregate to keep the site working and to understand which pages help visitors. We may use cookies or similar technologies for basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How We Use the Data
The limited data described above helps us run the site, diagnose faults, measure visits, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create profiles of individual users.
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.
Safeguarding Your Data
An encrypted connection delivers the site. Server logs are kept only for as long as the stated purposes require. Because visitors do not create accounts here, this site holds no visitor password or account profile.
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 Privacy Choices
The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act, Commercial Law §§14-4701–14-4714, may provide rights to know, correct, delete, and opt out for covered commercial data. Requests concerning this site's limited contact-mailbox or server-log data may be made through the Contact page. Publicly available information is excluded from that Act, and records held by Montgomery County or Maryland offices remain under the custodian's control.
Changes to This Policy
Any revised policy will appear on this page. Using the site after a revision takes effect signifies acceptance of the revised policy.
