Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or related detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Baltimore County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply details may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
