Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 22, 2026

Thank you for visiting archiveiberville.com (the "Website"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide when using our portal to submit historical and archival media.

1. Information We Collect

Because our website operates entirely through secure online forms without requiring a user login, we only collect the information you voluntarily choose to provide to us.

  • Contact Information: To participate and submit media, you are required to provide your name, along with either your phone number or email address.

  • Submission Details: We collect the historical data, dates, descriptions, and context you provide regarding the media items.

  • Media Files: We collect the files you upload directly to the portal (e.g., photos, documents) or the URLs you share linking to the media you wish to submit.

  • Automated Traffic Data: Through our use of Google Analytics, we automatically collect certain non-personal information when you visit the site, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you submit strictly for historical preservation and community archives. Specifically, your data is used to:

  • Review, catalog, and preserve the media items for parish-wide historical use.

  • Verify the authenticity or context of the submitted materials.

  • Contact you if we have questions regarding your specific submission.

  • Analyze overall traffic trends and improve website performance (using Google Analytics).

Note on Public Display: The historical details and media files you submit are intended for public archiving and parish-wide use. However, your personal contact details (phone number and email address) will not be published on the website or shared publicly without your explicit permission.

3. Cookies and Tracking

To better understand how visitors interact with our archive and to improve the user experience, we use Google Analytics.

  • Cookies: Google Analytics uses cookies—small text files placed on your device—to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form.

  • Anonymized Data: The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is transmitted to Google. This data is used solely to evaluate visitor use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity. We do not use this tool to track or collect any personally identifiable information of our visitors.

  • Opt-Out: You can choose to accept or decline cookies through your browser settings. You can also prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits by disabling cookies or by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Data Retention and Security

We implement standard security measures to protect the information and files submitted through our forms. We retain your contact information for as long as necessary to maintain the integrity of the archive and manage contributor records.

5. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (for example, if a user submits a URL to a media file hosted elsewhere). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites.

6. Your Rights

If you have submitted media or personal information to us and would like to request that it be updated, corrected, or removed from our archive, please contact us at the email address below.
