Information You Submit
A name, county, or other term entered in an outside search box is sent to the third-party company that powers that tool. Queen Anne’s County Recent Arrests does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the search.
If you send an email or contact message, the information in it may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Other Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to the Sheriff’s Office, Detention Center, Maryland Judiciary, DPSCS, VINE, federal locators, and independent search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy notice and data practices apply.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or tailor ads. That processing occurs within their systems, not as a county government function and not as an official records request.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be available to the parties needed to operate a feature or comply with law.
- Search partners that receive submitted queries
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Common administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or online storage method is immune from failure or attack, so absolute security cannot be promised.
