Privacy Policy

This policy describes information handled when you visit Allen Parish Court Docket, the purposes for which it is used, and the circumstances in which it may be disclosed. By using the website, you accept these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

Information entered into a search tool, such as a name or case number, is submitted to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and returns any result. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

When you email us, we retain the message to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, our systems may collect technical details about the visit, including:

  • Your device’s IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring site, if one exists
  • Page-view timestamps

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a device that help measure how visitors use the website, including traffic patterns and page use. Analytics providers help aggregate this data. You can block cookies through browser settings, although doing so may affect how some features work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Operating, maintaining, and improving the website
  • Routing a search request to the relevant partner service
  • Understanding page usefulness and traffic patterns
  • Finding and addressing technical problems
  • Displaying advertising that may be interest-based

No Court-Record Data on File

We do not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case information. Allen Parish Court Docket supplies general access information about records held by the Allen Parish Clerk, the 33rd JDC, and other responsible courts. Louisiana Public Records Law, including La. R.S. 44:31 et seq., and La. C.C.P. art. 251 govern eligible records held by public custodians; they do not turn this private site into a court-record repository. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or records about third parties.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes on this website. Information submitted through one is governed by that provider’s privacy policy, retention practices, and sharing rules, not this policy. Review the provider’s policy before entering a search.

Links to Other Websites

The website links to clerk pages, court portals, legal-aid resources, and third-party search tools. Following a link takes you to a service we do not control, where that service’s privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.

Some advertising partners may track activity across websites to provide targeted advertisements. That tracking occurs on their systems.

Who Might See Your Data

We do not sell personal information. Information may be disclosed to:

  • Search providers handling queries submitted through their tools
  • Analytics services used for traffic and performance measurement
  • Advertising networks serving advertisements on the site
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal process requires disclosure

How We Protect Your Data

We use standard safeguards intended to protect information we collect. No internet-connected system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that a security incident will never occur.

Users Under 18

This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If we learn that a minor has provided personal information, we will delete it.

Your Data Rights

Louisiana Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:31 et seq., and La. C.C.P. art. 251 address access to qualifying records held by public custodians and court clerks; they do not govern data held by this private site. Subject to applicable law, you may:

  • Request a copy of information we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information
  • Ask us to delete your information
  • Opt out of certain processing where applicable

Updates to This Policy

We may revise this policy. A revised version will appear here with an updated effective date.

Effective date: August 26, 2026
