Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes the information collected when someone uses St. Charles Parish Released Inmates, the reasons it may be used, and the limited situations in which it may be shared. It also explains what happens when a visitor submits a search to an outside provider or follows a link to a government office, advertising service, or other website. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here. This notice applies to this privately operated resource, not to the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office, Nelson Coleman Correctional Center, Louisiana DPS&C, or any linked service.

Information You Choose to Send

Terms Entered in Search Tools

When a visitor types a name, location, or other term into a search tool, that request is sent to the third-party company that provides the search service. The query is handled under that provider’s own privacy practices. St. Charles Parish Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. A search submitted to an outside service should therefore be treated as information given directly to that service.

Emails and Contact Messages

Information included in an email or contact form, such as a name, email address, and message text, is retained as needed to read and answer the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law. Contact messages should not contain sensitive identification data or confidential case material that is not needed for the question.

Technical Details Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this resource receives routine technical information when a page loads. That information helps deliver the requested page, measure use, and identify errors. It may include:

  • The internet protocol address associated with the request
  • The browser name and version in use
  • The device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and the approximate time spent on them
  • The referring webpage, when one is provided
  • The date and time of each request

Cookie Controls

Cookies and similar browser storage may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support site functions. A browser can usually reject or remove cookies through its privacy settings. Blocking them may cause certain features, partner services, or preferences to work differently.

Reasons Information Is Used

Collected information may be processed for the following operational purposes:

  • Deliver pages reliably and maintain site performance
  • Send a submitted search to the selected partner service
  • Understand which St. Charles Parish resources visitors use
  • Detect broken pages, misuse, and other technical problems
  • Present advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests

Privacy Beyond This Website

Links may lead to St. Charles Parish Sheriff release records, Nelson Coleman Correctional Center information, Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections resources, court pages, other government portals, and third-party search services. Official records may be made available under the Louisiana Public Records Act, R.S. 44:1 et seq., subject to exemptions. That law does not make this private site the custodian of those records. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination’s privacy notice and data practices control.

Some advertising companies may use their own cookies or related technology to recognize activity across more than one website and select interest-based ads. That tracking takes place on the advertising partner’s systems. Visitors should review the partner’s choices and browser controls before deciding whether to allow such processing.

Parties That May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. Limited data may still be received or processed by parties that support a requested feature or a lawful obligation:

  • Search partners that receive and process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance
  • Advertising networks that deliver or assess advertisements
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Safeguards and Security Limits

Reasonable, standard practices are used to protect information handled through the site. Even careful security cannot make an internet-connected service immune from interception, unauthorized access, technical failure, or misuse. No representation is made that data transmission or storage is breach-proof. Visitors should limit what they submit and use appropriate security on their own devices.

Visitors Younger Than Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion of that submission.

Choices About Personal Data

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify the request, a person may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal information held about them
  • Correct personal information that is inaccurate
  • Delete personal information that remains on the site’s systems
  • Opt out of certain processing where an opt-out right applies

These choices apply only to information controlled by this site. Requests about a Sheriff booking record, 29th JDC court file, DPS&C record, or data held by a search or advertising partner must be directed to the organization that controls it.

Changes to This Notice

This Privacy Notice may be revised as site practices, technology, or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with a new effective date. Visitors should review the current notice when returning to the site.
