GDPR Compliance – Arrests.org LA

At Arrests.org LA, we take your privacy seriously and are committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This regulation was enacted to protect the personal data and privacy of individuals within the European Union and the European Economic Area. Although we focus primarily on the United States and specifically on Louisiana arrest records, we recognize the importance of data protection principles and aim to uphold them in our practices.

Understanding GDPR

The GDPR establishes clear guidelines regarding the collection, storage, and usage of personal data. It grants individuals several rights concerning their personal information, allowing them to maintain control over how their data is managed.
