Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information handled when someone visits Bossier Parish Criminal History, the purposes for which that information is used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. Continued use of the site signals acceptance of these practices. Official Bossier Parish and Louisiana record systems have their own privacy terms, which apply after a visitor follows an external link.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not keep a site-side log of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email sent to us may be retained so the team can respond. It is not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, the server may receive routine technical details about the visit:

  • The IP address assigned to your device
  • Which browser you are using and its version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
  • The site that sent you here, if any
  • Timestamps for each page view

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files that help show how readers move through the site, including popular pages and exit points. Analytics providers combine this traffic information for measurement. A browser can block cookies, though some functions may then work differently.

What We Do With This Data

  • Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
  • Sending your search requests to the right partner service
  • Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
  • Tracking down and fixing technical issues
  • Showing ads that may line up with your interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

This site does not keep, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It publishes general directions to Bossier Parish custodians, the courts, Louisiana State Police BCII-LCJIS, and the Louisiana State Police State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or a dossier about another person.

Third-Party Search Partners

Search boxes on this site are powered by outside companies. Anything you enter into those tools is processed under the partner's own privacy policy, not this one. Those partners set their own data-retention and sharing practices, and we do not control them. Review the partner's policy before submitting a search.

Links to Other Websites

Throughout the site we link to sheriff's office pages, court portals, state agency sites, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any personal details.

Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites 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 end up with:

  • Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
  • Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
  • Ad networks that place ads on our pages
  • Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it

How We Protect Your Data

We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. But nothing connected to the internet is bulletproof. We do what we can to keep your information secure, though we cannot promise a breach will never happen.

Users Under 18

This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has shared data with us, reach out and we'll delete it right away.

Your Data Rights

Applicable Louisiana consumer-protection rules, including the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, La. R.S. 51:1401 et seq., may provide rights in addition to the choices listed here. Louisiana Public Records Law and La. R.S. 15:587 govern public offices and criminal-history dissemination, not this private site's visitor files. At a minimum, you can:

  • Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
  • Have us fix information that is wrong
  • Request that we erase your data
  • Opt out of certain kinds of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with its new effective date.

Effective date: July 26, 2026
