Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates it. That provider processes the query and supplies the response. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, the message is retained as needed to prepare a response. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive basic technical information when a visitor loads a page:
- 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 files placed on a device to help measure site use, such as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine this traffic information for reporting. You can block cookies in your browser, though doing so may change how some features 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
This website does not keep, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal-record information. It offers general directions to Ouachita Parish sources, including OPSO Records/Identification, Fourth Judicial District Court and the Clerk of Court, Louisiana State Police BCII-LCJIS, 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. Information submitted through a box is governed by that provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Because each provider controls its retention and disclosure rules, review those terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to OPSO, the Ouachita Parish Clerk, Louisiana agency pages, legal resources, or outside tools. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use cross-site activity to select ads. That processing occurs through their own systems.
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
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information we collect. No internet system is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary with a visitor's location and applicable law. Louisiana Public Records Law, R.S. 44:1 et seq., and criminal-history dissemination law, R.S. 15:587, govern official government records and do not convert this private website into a public custodian. Subject to the law that applies to you, you may:
- 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
This policy may be revised from time to time. A replacement version will be posted here and identified by its new effective date.
Effective date: July 26, 2026
