Information You Provide
Search Entries
When you type a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Kent County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information you provide is used to review and answer that message. It is not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure site use and support advertising or analytics. You can set your browser to block cookies, but some parts of the site or partner tools may work differently if cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used

Outside Websites
The site links to Kent County offices, Maryland court and corrections pages, federal locators, VINE, and third-party search services. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or show interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Kent County government office.
