Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited information Hyattsville People Search receives, how we use it, and the options available to you. Our collection is narrow, so the policy is concise. The site helps visitors locate public records in Hyattsville, Maryland. It does not ask users to create an account, and we do not maintain personal-record profiles about visitors.

Information You Submit

When you enter a name, telephone number, or address in a search form, that entry goes to the outside search provider responsible for the results. Our own servers do not retain a copy of the search. A message sent through our contact channel contains only what you decide to share, and we use those details to answer you.


Information Collected Automatically

Our hosting systems create routine server logs that may include an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and access times. We review this information as a group to maintain reliable service and learn which resources visitors use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or comparable technology where applicable.


How Information Is Used

The limited information described above helps us run the service, diagnose errors, assess traffic, and refine content. We neither compile nor sell a visitor list. Individual user profiles are not created.


Outside Sites and Services

Links may lead to government portals, Maryland and Prince George's County records offices, library collections, or outside search services. Information provided after following a link is controlled by that destination's privacy terms rather than ours. The same distinction applies to sponsored search results, which an independent company supplies.


When Information Is Shared

Companies that host or support the site may process server-log information for us. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatically collected data already described. We may disclose available information in response to valid legal process, but do not otherwise share visitor information.


Safeguarding Your Information

An encrypted connection delivers the site. Server logs are kept only for as long as the stated operational purposes require. Since there are no user accounts, we hold no site password or account profile belonging to you.


Visitors Under Age 18

The service is meant for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone younger than 18. Contact us if you believe a minor sent personal data, and we will remove it.


Maryland Privacy Rights

The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act of 2024, Ch. 455, effective October 1, 2025, gives covered Maryland residents rights that may include access, correction, deletion, and limits on certain uses, disclosures, sales, or sharing of covered personal data. It also provides for equal treatment when a person exercises a covered right. Because our holdings are minimal, a request will usually involve checking the contact mailbox and server logs for information we can remove. Send a request through the Contact page.

Government public records are excluded from the Act. Records kept by Hyattsville, Prince George's County, or Maryland agencies therefore remain under the control of the public custodian. A request for an agency record or its correction must go to that office under the Maryland Public Information Act, Md. Code Ann., General Provisions ยงยง 4-101 through 4-601, and any record-specific law. We cannot alter or remove those government files.


Changes to This Policy

Any revised policy will appear here. By continuing to use the service after an update is posted, you agree to the new version.
