When MES collects personal information - that is, information that identifies an individual with an address, identification number, telephone number, photograph, or medical information - it is the general policy of MES, pursuant to State law, to collect that information from the person to whom the information pertains. If we collect such information from you, you generally have a right to know: the purpose for which we are collecting that information; the consequences if you refuse to provide that information; your right to inspect, amend, or correct that information; whether that information is available to the public; and whether that information is shared with other entities. Under State law, these policies do not apply to information gathered for certain specified purposes, such as the investigation of a possible violation of law.

If you have any questions about these privacy policies, please e-mail them to mes@menv.com.

Web site Privacy Policy

When you visit the Maryland Environmental Service website, no personally identifying information about you is gathered, unless you choose to provide such information in an email message or in a brochure order request you send to us.

Browsing this Site: If you visit our site to read, print or download information, the only information MES collects about your visit is "site usage information," i.e. the number of visits (hits) to each area of the MES website. MES does not collect any information that identifies you personally. MES uses these site usage statistics to analyze how our site is used and to improve its usefulness to the public. In addition, this website does not use "cookies," a technology which allows websites to track information about visitors who make multiple visits.

E-Mail: If you send us e-mail, we use the information you send us to respond to your inquiry, just as we do with written correspondence. E-mail correspondence to MES, like mailed correspondence, may become a public record. As a public record, your correspondence could be disclosed to other parties upon their request, in accordance with Maryland's public records law.

Requests: You may, as a result of your visit to our site, fill out a form requesting information about MES. [The information you submit for such a request will be used by MES only to fill your order, and will not be made available to, transferred to, or shared with any other entity, unless otherwise required by law.]
