Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, its uses, and the limited circumstances in which it may be disclosed. By using St. Bernard Parish Criminal History, you accept these privacy practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that service. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email sent to us may be retained to prepare and document a response. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our systems automatically receive basic technical information when a page loads:

  • Your device's IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Operating system and device category
  • Viewed pages and approximate visit duration
  • Referring website, when available
  • Page-view dates and times

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files that help measure site use, including popular pages and typical exit points. Analytics providers combine this traffic information for reporting. Browser controls can reject cookies, although blocking them may change how some features work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Operating, maintaining, and improving site performance
  • Routing a submitted search to the selected outside service
  • Understanding which resources visitors use
  • Finding and resolving technical faults
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site explains how to reach SBSO, the 34th JDC Clerk, Louisiana State Police BCII, and the Louisiana State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or criminal profiles about other people.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by that provider's privacy policy. Each partner controls its own retention and disclosure practices, so review those terms before using a search.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to SBSO, the Clerk, Louisiana agencies, legal-aid resources, or commercial services. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy rules apply. Review them before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may measure activity across websites to select ads. Their systems, rather than ours, conduct that tracking.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed to:

  • Search providers processing a request you initiate
  • Analytics vendors measuring use and performance
  • Advertising networks serving content
  • Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under valid legal process

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security practices protect the information we control. No internet service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.

Users Under 18

This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If such data is identified, it may be requested for deletion.

Your Data Rights

Applicable Louisiana law, including the Louisiana Database Security Breach Notification Law, R.S. 51:3071 et seq., and the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, R.S. 51:1401 et seq., may provide rights concerning personal data. Subject to governing law, you may:

  • Request access to information held about you
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
  • Seek deletion where the law permits it
  • Object to eligible types of processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes available here with an updated effective date.

Effective date: July 26, 2026
