Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to this website, its content, and its search features. Visiting a page or submitting a search signifies acceptance of all conditions below. If you disagree with them, you must stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. Fulton County Criminal History is privately owned and has no affiliation with a local, state, or federal government body. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for credit decisions, employment screening, tenant evaluation, insurance underwriting, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This is a Kentucky criminal-record reference resource, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is an independent private reference site. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve records, conduct official background checks, or submit documents for a visitor.

The content identifies custodians of Fulton County records, including the sheriff, the Circuit Court Clerk, Kentucky State Police, and the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Public-agency access is governed by laws that include the Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, and criminal-history dissemination provisions such as KRS 17.150 and KRS 17.185. The site also links to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Use bots, scrapers, or other automated tools against the pages
  • Violate a federal, Kentucky, or local law through use of the site
  • Attempt to enter systems or data without authorization
  • Stalk, threaten, or harass a person with information found here
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access
  • Rely on site content for a hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decision

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information from this website or a linked service to intimidate, discriminate against, threaten, stalk, or harass anyone. Such conduct may also violate criminal law. This restriction is especially important for data from the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Kentucky limits misuse of registry information, which exists for public-safety awareness, not vigilantism, housing discrimination, or employment blacklisting.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Our advertising partners likewise do not offer services through this site for evaluating job applicants, rental applications, insurance rates, or creditworthiness. You agree that neither this site nor a linked tool will be used to:

  • Set an insurance premium or assess creditworthiness
  • Evaluate an applicant for housing or a rental
  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Determine eligibility for a government program, license, or permit
  • Carry out any other activity governed by the FCRA

A check needed for a regulated purpose must be obtained through Kentucky State Police or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is not legal advice. General information about Fulton County records cannot determine how a warrant, conviction, charge, or Kentucky expungement rule affects an individual matter. Consult a Kentucky-licensed attorney for advice.

6. No Warranties

All site content and features are provided "as is." We make no guarantee that:

  • A partner's search result will be accurate or complete
  • Information will always be current, complete, or correct
  • The site will operate continuously without interruption
  • Pages will remain free from bugs, errors, or security flaws

Charges may be filed or dismissed, and records may later be corrected, sealed, or expunged. Updates and omissions can therefore occur. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Fulton County Sheriff, a court, Kentucky State Police, or another government office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff pages, Kentucky court portals, state agencies, legal-aid organizations, and independent search services. We do not control those destinations and accept no responsibility for their availability, prices, data handling, or content. Review an outside provider's terms before using its service.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Fulton County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages arising from site use, including reliance on information obtained here or from an outside service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against a claim, demand, or legal action caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Kentucky law governs these terms. A legal dispute arising from use of the site must be brought in a court located in Kentucky.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or terminate access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be modified only to the extent needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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