Information You Choose to Send
Queries Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's rules apply to the information it receives.
Emails and Other Messages
If you send an email or contact submission, we retain the message and reply details as needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary website and analytics systems may record technical details when a page loads, including:
- The network Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and version.
- The device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- Date and time stamps tied to requests.
Cookie Controls
Cookies can help measure how visitors use the site. Most browsers let users block or remove cookies. Some functions may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Collected Data Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send a search request to the chosen partner service.
- Understand which pages visitors find useful.
- Detect, diagnose, and repair technical faults.
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Privacy Beyond This Website
Links lead to DPSO, Louisiana DPS&C, courts, release-record resources, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy terms govern its collection and use. Louisiana government record access is separately governed by the Louisiana Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:1 et seq., including the access rule in R.S. 44:31.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to observe activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That cross-site activity occurs under the provider's practices, not as a site-maintained search log.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:
- Search partners processing a query submitted to their tool.
- Analytics providers measuring site use.
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security, Not a Guarantee
We use standard practices intended to protect information within our control. No internet-connected service is entirely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach, loss, misuse, or unauthorized access will never occur.
This Site Is for Adults
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, notify us through the Contact Us page so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Requests About Your Information
Subject to applicable law and identity verification, a visitor may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete information where deletion is legally available.
- Stop or opt out of certain processing.
Changes to This Privacy Notice
We may revise this notice as the site or its service providers change. An updated version takes effect when posted here and will carry a new effective date.
