Privacy Notice

This notice explains what St. Landry Parish Released Inmates may collect, why that data is used, and when another party may receive it. It also covers cookies, outside links, security limits, and user choices. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, place, or other term entered into a partner search box is sent to the third-party company that operates the tool. St. Landry Parish Released Inmates does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider's policy applies to its receipt and use of that information.

Messages Sent to Us

If you send an email or use a contact form, we keep the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share a message outside our organization unless a legal requirement compels disclosure.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this site may receive basic device and visit information when a page loads. That information can include:

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Your browser type and version
  • Your device class and operating system
  • The pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • The date and time of a request

Cookies

Cookies may help measure how people use the St. Landry Parish pages and remember technical preferences. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings. Some site or partner features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How We Use Information

Collected information supports ordinary site operation and helps us understand whether the St. Landry Parish release resources work as intended. Uses may include:

  • Operating the site and maintaining reasonable performance
  • Sending a search request to the selected partner service
  • Measuring which pages visitors find useful
  • Finding errors and correcting technical faults
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Other Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office, Louisiana DPS&C, courts, federal locators, release-record resources, or third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy terms govern its collection and use of data. Review those terms before submitting information.

Advertising partners may use their own technology to observe activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That cross-site activity occurs within their systems, not within the records held directly by St. Landry Parish Released Inmates.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:

  • Search partners that process a query you submit
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
  • Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use customary safeguards suited to a public reference website. No Internet transmission, connected service, or storage method can be guaranteed secure. We therefore cannot promise that data will never be intercepted, lost, altered, or accessed without permission.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, contact us and request its deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

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

  • Receive a copy of personal data we hold about you
  • Correct personal information that is inaccurate
  • Delete personal data kept by us
  • Opt out of certain forms of processing

These requests concern data held by this site. Louisiana public records held by the sheriff, court, or DPS&C remain under the originating agency's rules and applicable law, including the Louisiana Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:1 through 44:35.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as site practices or legal duties change. An updated version takes effect when it is posted here with a new effective date.
