Privacy Notice

This notice describes what data may be collected, why it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Search Entries

A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages

We keep email and contact submissions as needed to answer them. We do not share a message outside our organization unless the law requires it.


Automatic Technical Data

A page visit may record routine technical details.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring page, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

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


How Data Is Used

  • Operate and improve site speed
  • Send search requests to the chosen provider
  • Measure which pages help visitors
  • Detect and repair technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Links and Advertising

Links lead to LAVNS, PCSO, Louisiana DPS&C, courts, government portals, news sources, and outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination’s privacy policy applies.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to follow activity across sites and select ads. That tracking occurs under their policies, not this one.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may go to:

  • Search providers processing a query
  • Analytics services measuring traffic
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Law enforcement or a government body acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures

We use ordinary safeguards suited to an informational site. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security or guarantee that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

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


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Ask that eligible personal data be erased
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Notice Updates

We may revise this notice as practices or legal duties change. A revision takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
