Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you enter a name or date of birth in one of the search tools on this site, the entry goes directly to the outside provider that runs that search. The provider processes the request and returns the results. We do not keep or log what you type.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we retain the message so we can write back. Your message stays with our team. We will not pass it to anyone outside our organization unless a legal requirement forces it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page loads, our servers record technical details about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Your browser name and version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you opened and how long each one stayed on screen
- The referring site, when one sent you here
- A timestamp for every page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files placed on your device. They let us see how visitors move through the site, including which pages draw the most traffic and where readers leave. Analytics services help us combine that traffic into reports. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Certain parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site online and loading quickly
- Passing your search request to the correct partner service
- Learning which pages readers find useful and which need work
- Finding and repairing technical problems
- Serving 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 personal warrant information. We publish general guidance about where St. Mary Parish warrant records are held and how to check them through the sheriff's warrants division, the courts that issue process, and the records offices that keep the files. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing we collect about visitors is turned into a consumer report or a file about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site are operated by outside companies. Whatever you enter into one of those tools is handled under the partner's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners decide their own retention and sharing practices, and we have no control over them. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to sheriff's office pages, court portals, state programs, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Following one of those links takes you away from this site, and that site's privacy policy then governs your visit. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners may track activity across websites to serve targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems rather than ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information can reach:
- Search partners that handle a query you run here
- Analytics services used to measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place advertising on our pages
- Law enforcement or government offices 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 completely safe, though. We take reasonable steps to keep your information secure, and we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has shared data with us, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, state law may give you added rights over your information. Louisiana's Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:1 et seq., also governs how public bodies handle the records they keep. At a minimum, you can:
- Ask for a copy of what we hold about you
- Have incorrect information corrected
- Request deletion of your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this privacy policy later. When that happens, the new version goes up on this page with a fresh effective date. Check back if you want to follow how we handle visitor information.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
