Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information that may be handled when someone visits Rapides Parish Released Inmates, uses an embedded search service, or sends a message. It also explains the limited purposes for that data and the choices available to visitors.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy rules govern its handling of the query.

A message sent through email or a contact form may include a name, return address, and the text supplied by the sender. That material is retained as needed to answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Information

Routine server and analytics systems may receive technical data when a page loads. The data helps operate and protect the service.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • Referring page or site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies may be used to measure site use and remember basic preferences. A browser can reject or delete cookies, although some features may then behave differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports a small set of operational purposes:

  • Keeping pages available and responsive
  • Routing a search to the selected outside provider
  • Learning which resources visitors find useful
  • Finding errors, abuse, and technical faults
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests

External Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to sheriff, court, corrections, federal, and third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy controls. Outside advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or select ads. That processing takes place on their systems.


When Data May Be Shared

This site does not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to search partners that process a query, analytics vendors that measure use, advertising networks that deliver ads, and law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.


Security Practices

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information under this site's control. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, uninterrupted protection, or a system that is immune from every breach.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly seek personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held by the site, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of eligible information, or an opt-out from certain processing. Browser controls also allow users to manage cookies and related storage.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised when services, vendors, or legal duties change. A new version becomes effective when it is posted here with its updated effective date.
