Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. This site does not keep or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider's terms and privacy policy govern its processing.
Messages
If you send an email or contact submission, the message and reply details may be retained long enough to answer and manage the exchange. They are not shared outside the organization unless doing so is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and security systems can create technical records when a page loads. Those records may include:
- the internet protocol address used for the request;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring page, when supplied;
- date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure site use and remember limited settings. Browser controls can block or delete them. Some features or partner services may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Supports the Site
Collected information may be used to operate and secure the pages, send search requests to the selected provider, understand which Bienville Parish resources readers use, diagnose errors, prevent misuse, and display advertising that may reflect general interests. Search partners process queries on their systems, not as records hosted by this site.
Links and Advertising
Links lead to sheriff, court, corrections, release-record, federal locator, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's own privacy practices apply. Review them before providing personal data.
Advertising and analytics providers may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure activity or select ads. Any cross-site tracking occurs through those providers' systems and controls.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold as a contact list. Limited data may reach parties that perform a specific function, including:
- search partners that handle a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure site traffic;
- advertising networks that deliver or measure ads;
- law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Service providers may receive only the information needed for their role, subject to their own systems and agreements.
Security Has Limits
Reasonable administrative and technical steps are used to protect information in the site's control. No website, network, email system, or storage method can guarantee complete security. Avoid sending sensitive identifiers unless an official office specifically requires them through an appropriate channel.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and is not designed for anyone under 18. It does not knowingly seek personal data from minors. A parent or guardian who believes a minor supplied personal data may use the Contacts page to request review.
Your Data Choices
Depending on applicable law and the data involved, a user may ask what personal information this site holds, request correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. A request must identify the message or account detail at issue well enough to locate it. This site cannot alter records held by the Bienville Parish sheriff, Louisiana DPS&C, a court, a search partner, or another outside service.
Cookie choices are managed through the browser and, where available, an advertising provider's controls. Messages about site-held data may be directed through the Contacts page.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised when site features, providers, or legal duties change. The version posted here governs future use from its effective publication. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised practices.
