Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Names, dates, and other terms entered into a search box on this site go directly to the outside company that operates the search. That company processes the request and returns results. We do not capture or store what you type into those boxes on our end.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email, we retain it so we can write back. Your message stays inside our organization, and we do not pass it to anyone outside unless the law requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page loads, our servers record basic technical information about the visit:
- The IP address your device is using
- The browser you are on and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- Which pages you opened and how long each one stayed on screen
- The referring site, when one exists
- A timestamp for every page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files a site places on your device. They let us see how visitors move through the site, which pages get read most, and where people leave. Analytics services help us group that traffic into reports. You can block cookies through your browser settings at any time, though some parts of the site may not behave normally if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site online and loading quickly
- Passing your search requests to the partner service that handles them
- Learning which pages are useful and which need work
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may relate to your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell any database of warrants or warrant records. What it publishes is general guidance about where St. James Parish warrant records are held and how to check them through the Clerk of Court, the Sheriff's Office, the Justice of the Peace districts, and the two town courts. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing gathered about visitors is assembled into consumer reports or files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site are operated by outside companies. Anything entered into one of those tools is handled under that company's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners decide how long they keep data and whether they share it, and we have no control over those choices. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
This site links out to clerk portals, sheriff's office pages, Louisiana court pages, state agencies, legal aid organizations, and third-party search tools. Following any of those links takes you away from this site, and from that point the destination's privacy policy governs what happens to your information. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across sites in order 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 reach:
- Search partners that handle the queries you run here
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place ads on these pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to protect the information we collect. Nothing connected to the internet is entirely safe, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur, only that we take reasonable steps to prevent one.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us data, contact us and we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Louisiana gives adults a right of access to records held by public bodies under the Louisiana Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:1 et seq., and state and federal law may give you rights over data a private site holds about you. At a minimum, you may:
- Ask for a copy of what we hold about you
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong
- Request that your data be deleted
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change. When it does, the revised version appears on this page with a new effective date, so check back if you want to track how visitor information is handled.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
