Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
The search boxes on this site are run by outside providers. Anything you type into one of them goes straight to that provider, which performs the search and returns the result. Nothing you enter is stored or logged on our end.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we keep the message and your return address so that we can write back. Correspondence stays with our small team. We disclose it only when a court order or another valid legal demand requires us to.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page on this site loads, the server behind it records routine technical details about the visit. These entries are ordinary web logs, and they are not tied to a name.
- The IP address assigned to your device
- The browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you opened and how long you stayed on each
- The site that referred you here, if there was one
- A timestamp for every page view
Cookies and Analytics
The site sets cookies, which are small files a browser keeps on your device. We use them to learn which pages readers use most and where people tend to stop reading. Analytics services roll that traffic up into aggregate reports. Your browser settings let you block cookies whenever you like, though a few parts of the site may not behave the same way once you do.
What We Do With This Data
The technical and usage data described above serves a short list of purposes and nothing more:
- Keeping the site online, running, and loading quickly
- Passing your search request to the right partner service
- Seeing which pages help readers and which need another pass
- Finding and fixing technical faults
- Serving advertising that may reflect your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant-record information. What it publishes is general guidance about where Kent County warrant records are kept and how a reader checks them. That trail runs through the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Kent County, the District Court of Maryland for Kent County, the District Court Commissioner, and the Kent County Sheriff's Office, and Maryland has no single public statewide warrant database behind them. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing gathered from visitors is assembled into consumer reports or files about third parties.
Some material stays out of public reach by law. Juvenile court and police records, for example, are confidential under the Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article, §3-8A-27, apart from the exceptions that statute allows. A missing search result is not proof that a warrant does not exist, and a page on this site is never an official status check.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes here come from outside companies. Whatever you type into one of them is handled under that company's privacy policy rather than this one. The partner decides how long a query is kept and who it is shared with, and we have no say in those decisions. Read the partner's policy before you enter anything you would not want retained.
Links to Other Websites
Pages here link to court portals, Sheriff's Office pages, legal aid organizations, and outside search services. Following one of those links takes you off this site, and the privacy policy of the destination governs your visit from that point. Read it before sharing personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across websites in order to choose which ads you see. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. A limited set of parties may see some of it:
- Search partners that handle a query you run through this site
- Analytics services that measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place advertising on these pages
- A court or law enforcement office when a valid legal order compels disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard security practices to protect the information we hold. No website connected to the internet can promise perfect safety, and we do not make that promise. We take reasonable steps with what we collect, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent data to us, get in touch and we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, state privacy and consumer-protection law may give you rights over your data beyond what is described here. In Maryland, the Public Information Act, General Provisions Article, Title 4, Subtitle 2, is the law that governs public access to records held by state and local agencies, including the offices this site points readers toward, and that article also sets out the exemptions an agency may apply. Whatever law covers you, you can:
- Ask for a copy of whatever we hold about you
- Have inaccurate information corrected
- Request that your data be erased
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as the site changes. When it does, the revised version appears on this page with a new effective date. A reader who wants to follow how information is handled can check back here.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
