Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query under its own practices. Lafayette Parish Court Docket does not maintain a court-record database or create a dossier from search terms entered here.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends an email, we retain the message and contact information needed to respond. It is not sold. Disclosure outside the organization occurs only when a legal obligation requires it or when it is necessary to operate the requested service.
Data We Gather Automatically
Every time a page on this site loads, our servers pick up some technical details about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies on this site. These are small files stored on your device that let us see how visitors use the site - which pages get the most traffic and where people tend to drop off. Analytics services help us aggregate that traffic data. Your browser settings let you block cookies whenever you want. Some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
This resource does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case records. It identifies where Lafayette Parish court material is held, such as the Parish Clerk, the 15th Judicial District Court, Lafayette City Court, and local lower courts. Louisiana has no single statewide public trial-court search system. Lafayette Parish Court Docket is not a consumer reporting agency, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports about third parties.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes on this site are powered by outside companies. Anything you enter into those tools is processed under the partner's own privacy policy, not this one. Those partners set their own data-retention and sharing practices, and we do not control them. Review the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
The resource links to clerk pages, court portals, municipal offices, Louisiana legal materials, and third-party search tools. A linked service controls its own collection and privacy practices once a visitor leaves this resource. Review those terms before providing personal information.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. But nothing connected to the internet is bulletproof. We do what we can to keep your information secure, though we cannot promise a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has shared data with us, reach out and we'll delete it right away.
Your Data Rights
Louisiana public-record access is governed for public custodians by laws including La. R.S. 44:31 and court-file access is addressed by La. C.C.P. art. 251. Those rules do not turn this private resource into a court-record custodian. A visitor may still:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this privacy policy as operations or legal requirements change. The new version will appear here with an updated effective date.
Effective date: August 26, 2026
