Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool is sent to the provider operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies any result. We do not maintain our own log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Messages sent by email may be retained so a response can be made. They stay within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, routine technical details about the visit can be collected:
- The IP address associated with the device
- Browser type and version
- Device and operating-system details
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring site, if one is available
- Dates and times of page activity
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device that help show overall use patterns, such as popular pages and exit points. Analytics providers may aggregate this traffic information. Browser controls can block cookies, although some site functions may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating and improving the resource
- Directing a search request to the appropriate partner
- Measuring which information visitors use
- Finding and resolving technical problems
- Delivering advertising that may be relevant
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, compile, sell, or maintain a database of court dockets or personal case records. Evangeline Parish Court Docket provides general information about record custodians, including the Evangeline Parish Clerk of Court and other courts that retain their own files. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes on this resource. Their privacy policies, retention rules, and sharing choices govern information submitted through their tools. Those practices are outside our control, so review a partner's policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links can take visitors to clerk pages, court portals, and third-party tools. Once a visitor leaves this resource, the destination's privacy policy governs. Review it before supplying personal information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to track activity across sites for ad delivery. That activity is not controlled by us.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be disclosed to:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics services used to measure performance
- Advertising networks that place ads on our pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal demand requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard safeguards for information collected through the resource. No internet system can promise complete security, so an incident cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor's information was sent to us, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Data Rights
Louisiana's Public Records Law, including La. R.S. 44:31, governs access to public records held by governmental custodians. It does not convert this private reference resource into a court-record custodian. At a minimum, visitors may:
- Request a copy of information we retain about them
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request deletion of retained personal information
- Ask about opting out of certain processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy. A revised version will appear here with its effective date, so visitors may return to review current practices.
Effective date: August 26, 2026
