Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other query is typed into a third-party search box, that request is sent to the provider operating the tool. Wicomico County Inmate Population does not keep its own database of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message content and reply details may be kept long enough to answer and maintain ordinary business records. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Basic technical information may be recorded when a page loads or when a visitor moves through the site.
- IP address and approximate network location.
- Browser name, browser version, and language settings.
- Device type, operating system, and screen-related details.
- Pages viewed, navigation paths, and time spent on pages.
- Referring website or search engine, when available.
- Date and time stamps tied to visits and events.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic, remember basic preferences, support analytics, and measure advertising. A browser can block or delete cookies, but some features or partner tools may behave differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- Keep the site available, readable, and fast for visitors searching Wicomico County custody resources.
- Route search requests to the appropriate partner service when a sponsored tool is used.
- Understand which jail, court, roster, and facility pages are most useful.
- Detect broken links, display issues, abuse, and other technical problems.
- Show advertising that may be based on visitor interests or page context.
Outside Websites and Locators
The site links to jail resources, sheriff and county pages, Maryland court and corrections resources, Maryland VINE, DPSCS, BOP, ICE ODLS, and third-party search tools. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination website's privacy notice and terms control its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure activity across different websites. That tracking occurs through their systems, not through a Wicomico County Inmate Population records database.

- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or other legal requirement applies.
