Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or a date of birth into one of the search boxes on this site, that entry goes to the outside company that runs the search. The provider processes it and returns whatever it finds. Nothing you type into a search box is stored on this end.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email, the message is kept so it can be answered. It stays with this site and is not shared outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page loads, the server records some technical details about the visit:
- The IP address your device used
- The browser you are running and its version
- The type of device and its operating system
- Which pages you opened and how long you stayed
- The site that referred you, when there was one
- A timestamp for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Small files called cookies are stored on your device so visitor traffic can be measured, including which pages get read most and where readers stop. Analytics services roll that traffic information into totals. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some 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 partner service that answers it
- Seeing which pages help readers and which ones need work
- Finding and fixing technical faults
- Serving advertising that may relate to your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell any warrant database or collection of personal record information. What it publishes is general guidance about where Madison Parish warrant records are kept and how to check them, which means the sheriff's office, the Clerk of Court, the justice of the peace offices, and the mayor's courts. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing collected about visitors is assembled into a consumer report or a file about any third party.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site belong to outside companies. Whatever you type into one of those tools is handled under that company's own privacy policy rather than this one. Those providers decide how long they keep data and who else sees it, and their practices are not controlled from here. Read the partner's policy before you run a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages here link out to sheriff's office sites, court pages, state statute references, and third-party search tools. Following one of those links takes you to a site this policy does not cover. Once you are there, the other site's privacy terms apply, so review them before sharing personal information.
Who Might See Your Data
Visitor data may be seen by the service providers that keep this site running, such as hosting and analytics companies, and by advertising partners. It may also be disclosed when the law requires it, when a valid legal request arrives, or when it is needed to protect the site or the people who use it. Personal information is not sold.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect the limited data this site collects. No website can promise perfect security, and no method of transmission over the internet is completely safe. Keep that in mind before sending sensitive details through any website, including this one.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. It is not directed at anyone under 18, and personal information is not knowingly collected from children. If you believe a minor has sent information here, ask for it to be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Louisiana's public records law, La. R.S. 44:31, gives a person of majority the right to inspect and copy records held by public bodies. That statute governs government records, not this private site, but the same habits serve you here. You can:
- Ask what information is held about you
- Ask for anything inaccurate to be corrected
- Ask for your information to be deleted
- Ask to be left out of certain kinds of processing
Send a request through the site's contact page and it will be answered within a reasonable time. Requests about a court or sheriff's record go to that office, not here.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as the site changes. When that happens, the new version is posted on this page with a fresh effective date. Check back if you want to follow how visitor information is handled.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
