Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains what information may be collected when people use Ouachita Parish Inmate Population, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. By using this site, visitors accept the practices described here. Public records linked from this site may be governed by Louisiana public records law, including La. R.S. 44:1, but those records are held by the agencies that created them.

Information You Enter

Search Terms

When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar term into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep a separate local database of those search terms.

Messages

If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain ordinary business records. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty or valid legal order requires disclosure.


Technical Data Collected

Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical details when a page loads. That information helps measure use, troubleshoot errors, and protect the service.

  • IP address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
  • Referring website, when one is provided.
  • Date and time of the visit.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and remember basic technical preferences. A browser can be set to block cookies, but some features, analytics, or ads may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

  • To keep the site available, stable, and responsive.
  • To route search requests to a partner search service when a visitor uses that tool.
  • To understand which pages and topics visitors use most.
  • To diagnose broken links, display problems, or security issues.
  • To support ads that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.

Outside Websites

This site links to sheriff pages, jail roster resources, Louisiana correctional resources, federal locators, court and clerk portals, and third-party search tools. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's own privacy policy and terms control its data practices.

Advertising networks and search partners may use their own cookies, pixels, or account systems to measure activity across websites. Those systems are operated by the outside provider, not by Ouachita Parish Inmate Population.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold as a stand-alone customer list. It may be handled by limited categories of outside parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.

  • Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
  • Analytics providers that measure site traffic and performance.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, or government agencies when required by a valid subpoena, warrant, court order, or similar legal process.

Security Practices

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information handled through this site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so this notice does not promise breach-proof storage or transmission.


Users Under 18

This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may request deletion.


Your Data Rights

  • Ask for a copy of personal data this site holds about you.
  • Ask to correct inaccurate information.
  • Ask for deletion when retention is not legally or operationally required.
  • Opt out of certain processing where applicable law provides that right.
