Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, the reasons it may be used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. Continued use of the website signals acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results; we do not retain or log those terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the correspondence. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

Every time a page on this site loads, our servers pick up some technical details about the visit:

  • The IP address assigned to your device
  • Which browser you are using and its version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
  • The site that sent you here, if any
  • Timestamps for each page view

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files used to understand traffic patterns, such as popular pages and exit points. Analytics providers combine those measurements. A browser can block cookies, although doing so may change how parts of the website work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
  • Sending your search requests to the right partner service
  • Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
  • Tracking down and fixing technical issues
  • Showing ads that may line up with your interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The content identifies how to request Pointe Coupee Parish material from the sheriff, criminal courts, Louisiana State Police BCII, and the Louisiana State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not turned into a consumer report or a record about another person.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies power the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention rules, and sharing practices govern information entered there. Review the provider's policy before submitting a query because we do not control those practices.

Links to Other Websites

Throughout the site we link to sheriff's office pages, court portals, state agency sites, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any personal details.

Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.

Who Might See Your Data

We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:

  • Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
  • Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
  • Ad networks that place ads on our pages
  • Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it

How We Protect Your Data

We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. But nothing connected to the internet is bulletproof. We do what we can to keep your information secure, though we cannot promise a breach will never happen.

Users Under 18

This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has shared data with us, reach out and we'll delete it right away.

Your Data Rights

Louisiana consumer-protection law, including the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, La. R.S. 51:1401 et seq., may provide remedies depending on the facts and where you live. Louisiana Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:1 et seq., governs public agencies, not this private website. At a minimum, you can:

  • Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
  • Have us fix information that is wrong
  • Request that we erase your data
  • Opt out of certain kinds of data processing

Updates to This Policy

We may change this privacy policy down the road. When we do, the updated version goes up on this page with a new effective date. Check back if you want to keep tabs on how we handle your information.

Effective date: July 26, 2026
