Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and returns any result through its own service. This resource does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to the resource may be retained so a response can be made. It remains within the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the hosting systems may receive routine technical information about the visit:
- The IP address associated with the device
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- A referring site, when one is supplied
- The date and time of a page request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device that can help measure aggregate use, such as popular pages or exit patterns. Analytics providers may help process that aggregate activity. Browser controls can block cookies, although some features may then function differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating, securing, and improving the resource
- Routing a search request to the provider selected for it
- Understanding aggregate use and performance
- Diagnosing technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may be interest based
No Court-Record Data on File
This resource does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of Catahoula Parish court dockets or personal case information. It provides general routing information for the parish clerk, courts, and eClerks LA. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports about other people.
Access to an official court record remains with its custodian. Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure article 251 addresses the clerk's record-custodian role, while the Louisiana Public Records Law, R.S. 44:31 and related provisions govern inspection and copying subject to legal limits.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes used here. Information entered into a box is governed by the provider's privacy policy, retention practices, and sharing choices, not by this policy. Review that provider's policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to clerk pages, court portals, eClerks LA, and search providers. Once a visitor leaves this resource, the destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before sharing personal information.
Some advertising partners may track activity across sites for advertising purposes. That activity occurs under their systems and policies.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Information can be available to the following categories when necessary:
- Search providers that process a submitted query
- Analytics services used for traffic and performance
- Advertising networks serving advertisements
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal obligation requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used for information received by the resource. No internet-connected system can promise complete protection, so a security incident can never be ruled out.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor's information has been sent to the resource, contact the organization so it can be removed when appropriate.
Your Data Rights
You may contact the resource about personal information held in connection with your use. Court-record access is separate: Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure article 251 and Louisiana Public Records Law provisions, including R.S. 44:31, R.S. 44:32, and R.S. 44:33, apply to requests made to the official record custodian. You may:
- Request a copy of information the resource holds about you
- Ask for correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion where applicable
- Ask about available choices concerning certain processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as the resource or its practices change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
Effective date: August 26, 2026
