Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form goes to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a separate copy of that search. When you contact us, we receive the details you include and use them to answer the message.
Information Collected Automatically
Our hosting systems may log an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. Aggregate use of those logs helps maintain the site and show which resources visitors use. Cookies or similar tools may also support basic traffic analytics and advertising measurement where applicable.
How the Data Is Used
Limited visitor data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvement. We neither sell a visitor list nor assemble profiles of individual readers.
Privacy on Linked Services
Links lead to Maryland and Baltimore County portals, courts, library collections, and third-party search services. Information sent to one of those services falls under its privacy terms, not ours. The same distinction applies to sponsored search results supplied by another company.
When Data May Be Shared
Hosting and support providers process logs for us. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data already described. We may disclose information in response to valid legal process, but otherwise do not share visitor data.
Safeguarding Limited Data
An encrypted connection serves the site, and logs are kept only as long as needed for the stated purposes. Because visitors do not create accounts, the site stores no user password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This service is meant for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect a minor's personal information. Contact us if you believe a person under 18 submitted such data so it can be removed.
Your Maryland Privacy Rights
The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act may provide rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain covered personal data, and to limit certain processing or opt out of sale or targeted advertising when the law applies. Because we retain little information, a request usually involves checking contact messages and available logs. Use the Contact page to submit one. Government records held by Baltimore County or Maryland agencies remain outside our control, so requests about those records must go to their custodian.
Changes to This Policy
Any revised policy will appear here. Using Catonsville People Search after a revision takes effect signifies acceptance of the new version.
