Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of Fulton County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its content, or submitting a search signals acceptance of every term below. Anyone who does not agree should stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not connected to any government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant screening, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its role is to identify criminal-record resources in Fulton County and New York. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

Fulton County Criminal History is a private reference site with no government affiliation. It does not store official criminal files, retrieve records, perform official checks, or submit documents on a visitor's behalf.

The content directs readers to Fulton County law enforcement, the proper criminal court, the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, and the New York State Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to independently operated search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is permitted only on the condition that a visitor will not:

  • Use the website in violation of federal, state, or local law
  • Stalk, threaten, or harass a person with information found here
  • Rely on site content for a hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decision
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Deploy bots, scraping software, or other automated collection tools
  • Interfere with service or prevent another visitor from using the pages

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from this website or a linked tool may not be used to threaten, intimidate, stalk, harass, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also be criminal. This restriction is especially important for the New York State Sex Offender Registry under Correction Law Article 6-C. Registry information supports public safety awareness. It does not authorize vigilantism, blacklisting, or discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Fulton County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produces no background check, credit report, or consumer report. Its advertising partners likewise do not offer those regulated services through this site. A visitor agrees not to use data here or from a linked tool to:

  • Make a decision to hire or discharge a person
  • Evaluate a renter or housing application
  • Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other action regulated by the FCRA

A regulated purpose requires the proper official channel or a screening company that follows the FCRA. This website cannot fill that role.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Fulton County charge, conviction, warrant, or New York sealing rule applies to one person. Consult a licensed New York attorney for advice.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are supplied "as is." There is no guarantee that:

  • Information will always be current, complete, or accurate
  • Service will remain available without interruption
  • Pages will contain no bug, error, or security weakness
  • A partner search result will be complete or correct

Criminal records change as charges are filed, dismissed, and sealed. Gaps and delays are possible. Only the originating court, sheriff, police department, DCJS, or other custodian can issue an official statement.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to courts, law-enforcement agencies, state offices, legal resources, and outside search providers. Those destinations are independently controlled. Fulton County Criminal History is not responsible for their content, data practices, prices, or availability. Review a destination's terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Fulton County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative work requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the broadest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of this website, including reliance on content found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A visitor agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal actions caused by that visitor's use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

New York law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of this website must be brought in a court located in New York.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed only as much as necessary.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be directed through the Contact page.
