Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other term entered in an embedded search tool is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s policy controls its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and related contact details as needed to answer. We do not share that material outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Information
Like most websites, our systems may record basic technical and usage details when a page loads.
- The connecting IP address.

- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.

Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support site functions or advertising. You can block or remove cookies through browser controls, though some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the operation and improvement of the service.

Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to PPSO, the LAVNS roster, Louisiana DPS&C, courts, federal locators, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy terms govern its data practices.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. Their collection occurs under their policies, not this notice.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be received by:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard, reasonable safeguards suited to an online reference site. No internet transmission or connected storage system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us to request deletion.

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may:

- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Ask that eligible personal data be erased.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
