Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information Montgomery County Recent Arrests receives, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

A name or place entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party company that operates that tool. Montgomery County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain it as needed to respond. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Information

Normal web systems may record technical data when a page loads.

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Your browser type and version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies and Similar Tools

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block cookies in your browser, though parts of the site may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports routine site operations and service improvement.

  • Maintain site performance and availability
  • Send search requests to the selected partner
  • Measure which pages visitors find useful
  • Locate and correct technical faults
  • Present advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Websites Beyond Our Control

Links may lead to the MCSO roster, booking feeds, courts, corrections agencies, public portals, or outside search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy terms govern.

Advertising companies may use their own systems to track activity across websites and tailor ads. That cross-site activity occurs on their platforms, not ours.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by limited parties necessary to operate the service.

  • Search providers that process submitted queries
  • Analytics companies that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law enforcement or government agencies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards suited to an online publication. No internet service is completely secure, however, and we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Younger Than 18

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted personal data.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, you may make the following requests about information we hold.

  • Ask for a copy of your data
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Request deletion of personal information
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice. Any revision becomes available on this page with an updated effective date.
