Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered into a search tool is transmitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. That provider processes the request under its own terms and privacy practices. St. Bernard Parish Court Docket does not maintain a database of the names, case numbers, or other terms entered into a third-party search tool through this resource.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email, the message and contact details may be retained to respond or to administer the request. They are not sold. Information may be disclosed when a valid legal requirement, court order, or similar obligation requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, the services that deliver this site may receive routine technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- The IP address assigned to the device making the request
- Browser type, browser version, device type, and operating system
- Pages viewed and the approximate time spent on them
- The referring page or service, when one is provided
- Dates and times associated with page requests
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files a browser may store so a service can recognize a session or measure site activity. Analytics providers may use similar tools to produce aggregated traffic and performance information. Browser settings can limit or block cookies, although a feature that depends on them may not work as expected.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and contact information may be used to operate and protect the service, respond to messages, and understand broad site performance. Typical uses include:
- Delivering pages and maintaining service reliability
- Directing a submitted query to the applicable search provider
- Reviewing aggregated traffic and feature performance
- Diagnosing security or technical problems
- Supporting advertising that may appear on the service
No Court-Record Data on File
St. Bernard Parish Court Docket does not host, keep, compile, or sell a database of St. Bernard Parish case files or personal case-record information. It provides general access information for records held by the Thirty-Fourth Judicial District Court, the St. Bernard Parish Clerk of Court, and statewide access systems. The Clerk, not this private resource, is the legal custodian of the 34th JDC’s civil, criminal, traffic, family, probate, and other district-court files. Justice of the Peace ward courts maintain their own separate records.
Under La. C.C.P. art. 251, the Clerk is the custodian who may provide inspection, copies, and certified copies when access is permitted. St. Bernard Parish Court Docket is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act and does not assemble visitor information into consumer reports or records about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search widgets are operated by outside providers. Information submitted through a widget is handled under the provider’s own privacy notice, retention practice, and terms. Those practices are outside the control of St. Bernard Parish Court Docket. Review the applicable provider policy before submitting information through a third-party search tool.
Links to Other Websites
This resource links to official sources such as the St. Bernard Clerk’s Cott eSearch portal, eClerks LA, court pages, and Louisiana legal materials. Selecting one of those links takes you to a separate service, where that service’s policies apply. Review the destination’s privacy notice before providing personal information.
Advertising or analytics providers may also use their own technology when their content is displayed. Any cross-site activity associated with that technology is governed by the provider’s policies, not by this policy.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold by St. Bernard Parish Court Docket. Depending on the activity, limited information may be processed by:
- Search providers that process a query entered into their tool
- Analytics vendors used to measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that serve content on the site
- Government or law-enforcement entities when disclosure is lawfully required
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect the limited information handled by this service. No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal information by email unless it is necessary and should use official court or Clerk channels for a court-file request.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe that a minor has provided personal information through this service, contact the site operator so the request can be reviewed and the information addressed where appropriate.
Your Data Rights
Requests concerning personal information submitted directly to this private service may be made through the site’s contact channel. Louisiana’s Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:1, broadly addresses public records held or used in public business and includes statutory and constitutional exceptions. It does not change the Clerk’s role as custodian of St. Bernard Parish court files or make this private reference resource a court-record holder. At a minimum, you may ask us to:
- Describe the personal information submitted directly to us that remains on file
- Correct information that is inaccurate in a direct communication
- Delete retained information when no legal reason requires preservation
- Limit future direct communications where that request is applicable
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as the service or its providers change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date. Reviewing the current version before using the service will show the terms then in effect.
Effective date: August 26, 2026
