Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider handles the query and supplies its response. Search terms are not logged or retained by this site.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Email messages may be kept long enough to answer and manage the correspondence. They remain within the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a visitor loads a page, the servers may receive basic technical and usage details:
- Page-view times and the pages visited
- Device type and operating system
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Time spent on individual pages
- The referring website, when available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files used to understand site traffic, including popular pages and where visits end. Analytics vendors may combine that usage information into broader reports. A browser can refuse cookies, although doing so may change how some features operate.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a search request to the selected provider
- Maintain site availability and performance
- Diagnose errors and other technical problems
- Measure which resources visitors use
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
No database of personal criminal records is stored, assembled, or sold here. The content identifies how to reach Vernon Parish courts and the sheriff, the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information, and the Louisiana State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor data is not turned into consumer reports or third-party criminal profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search tools. Information submitted to one of those tools is governed by that company's policy rather than this policy. Each partner controls its own retention and disclosure choices, so its terms should be reviewed before a query is sent.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, sheriff pages, Louisiana agencies, legal-aid resources, or commercial search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy terms apply. Review them before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select targeted ads. That tracking is controlled by those companies.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. It may be available in limited situations to:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search companies that process a submitted query
- Advertising networks that serve page content
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect collected data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, however, and a breach cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be deleted after notice.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Louisiana consumer-protection law may provide additional rights. The Louisiana Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:1 et seq., applies to public bodies and does not make this private website a government-record custodian. Where governing law permits, a visitor may:
- Request access to personal information on file
- Seek deletion of personal data
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Decline certain forms of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. An amended version becomes available here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
Effective date: July 26, 2026
