Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other lookup detail is entered into a search box operated by a third-party provider, that request is sent to the provider that powers the tool. Caroline County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own server.
Messages
If you email or submit a contact message, the information in that message may be kept so a response can be sent. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, court order, or another valid legal process.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, improve page performance, and support advertising or analytics. Browser settings usually allow cookies to be blocked or deleted, but some features may behave differently if cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used

Other Websites and Tools
Pages may link to the Caroline County Department of Corrections, the Caroline County Sheriff's Office, Maryland courts, Maryland DPSCS, Maryland VINE, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's own privacy policy and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to recognize browsers across different websites for interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems, not as records maintained by this site.

- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Maryland's Personal Information Protection Act, Md. Code Com. Law §§ 14-3501 through 14-3508, may apply to certain security incidents involving Maryland residents.
