Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When a visitor types a name, place, or other detail into a search box, the query goes to the outside provider that operates that tool. Montgomery County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider handles the query under its own privacy practices.
Email and Contact Messages
An email or contact-form message is retained as needed to read the request and send a reply. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically

- Date and time stamps tied to page requests
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors move through and use the site. A browser can reject or remove cookies through its settings. Blocking them may change how certain tools or features behave.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable loading speed

Outside Links and Advertising
Links may lead to Montgomery County release records, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy notice and data practices apply.
Some advertising partners may use their own systems to follow activity across multiple websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the partner’s technology, not through a system controlled by Montgomery County Released Inmates.

We do not sell personal information. Data may reach a limited set of service providers or public authorities as described below.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
