Information You Submit
Search forms send the name, phone number, or address you enter to the outside provider that produces the results. Our own servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the details you choose to send and use them to answer the message.
Information Collected Automatically
Our hosting service creates ordinary technical logs, including an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. Aggregate log data helps maintain the site and show which material visitors use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where applicable.
How the Data Is Used
We use this limited information to operate the site, diagnose faults, measure visits, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create profiles of individual users.
Privacy on Linked Services
Links lead to government portals, Maryland and Frederick County offices, library collections, and outside search services. Information entered on a linked service follows that service's privacy policy, not ours. The same rule applies to sponsored search results supplied by an outside 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.
How We Protect Your Data
The site is served over an encrypted connection. We retain server logs only as long as needed for the purposes above. Because we do not run accounts, there is no password or profile of yours to breach on this site.
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 Maryland Privacy Rights
The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act, Commercial Law title 14, subtitle 46, may provide access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt-out rights for covered processing. We can check our contact mailbox and available server logs for a request sent through the Contact page. Public records held by Frederick County, Maryland agencies, courts, or other custodians remain outside our control. Requests about those source records must go to the office that holds them, and the Act does not automatically erase government public records.
Updates to This Policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
