Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or date of birth typed into a search box on this site travels to the third-party provider that runs that tool, and the provider returns the results. The query is handled on their systems. Nothing typed into those boxes is stored or logged by us.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to this site is kept so that someone can answer it. Messages stay with the people who run the site and are not passed to anyone outside it unless a legal obligation forces the handoff.
Data We Gather Automatically
A web server records routine technical details each time a page loads. For this site those details include:
- The IP address your device is using
- Your browser type and version
- Your device type and operating system
- Which pages you opened and how long each one stayed on screen
- The referring site, when one sent you here
- A timestamp for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site sets cookies, which are small files your browser stores. They show which pages draw readers and where people leave. An analytics service aggregates that traffic information for us. Browser settings let you refuse cookies, though a few parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
The information described above is put to a small number of uses:
- Keep the site online and loading quickly
- Send a search query to the partner that answers it
- See which pages readers find useful and which need another look
- Find and repair technical problems
- Show advertising that may match a visitor's interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant records. The pages explain where West Carroll Parish court records are kept and how a reader can check them through the sheriff's office, the Clerk of Court, the lower courts, or a written request under the Louisiana Public Records Law. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing gathered about visitors is assembled into a consumer report or a file on any third party.
Third-Party Search Partners
A search box on this site belongs to an outside company. Whatever is entered there is processed under that company's privacy policy rather than this one, and the partner decides how long it keeps the query and who else sees it. Read the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages here link out to sheriff's office sites, court portals, the Louisiana Attorney General directory, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Following one of those links takes you off this site, and the other site's privacy policy then governs your visit.
Advertising partners may also track activity across websites to target ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not on this one.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold here. Some information can still reach other parties:
- The search partner that handles a query run from this site
- The analytics service that measures traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place advertising on these pages
- A court or law enforcement body, when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to guard the information described here. No website connected to the internet is untouchable, so a breach cannot be ruled out entirely. The data held is deliberately small, which limits the exposure.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. Personal information from anyone under 18 is not knowingly collected. If a minor has sent information here, say so and it will be removed promptly.
Your Data Rights
Louisiana's Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:1 et seq., gives an adult the right to inspect and copy records held by a public body in this state. That law applies to state and local agencies, not to a private website. For the information described on this page, you can ask to:
- Receive a copy of what is held about you
- Correct a detail that is wrong
- Have your information erased
- Be left out of certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy can change as the site changes. A revised version appears on this page with a new effective date, and readers who want to follow how information is handled should check back.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
