Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of this website. Accessing a page, reading its content, or submitting a search signifies agreement to the conditions below. If you do not agree, discontinue your use of the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a local, state, or federal government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service intended for credit decisions, employment screening, tenant screening, insurance underwriting, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site helps readers locate criminal-record resources for Chattahoochee County and Georgia. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site, operated independently of every government office. We do not store official criminal records, obtain records on a visitor's behalf, perform official checks, or file documents for users.

Instead, we identify Chattahoochee County record custodians, including the Sheriff's Office, the county criminal courts, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Georgia Crime Information Center, and the Georgia Sex Offender Registry, and provide links to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information from this site or a linked tool to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against another person; such conduct may also violate criminal law. This prohibition is especially important for Georgia Sex Offender Registry information. Georgia law limits misuse of registry data, and conduct directed at a registrant can carry criminal consequences. Registry information supports public-safety awareness, not vigilantism, blacklisting, or discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:

  • Decide whether to hire or fire someone
  • Screen potential renters or housing applicants
  • Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
  • Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
  • Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules

A check needed for a regulated purpose must be obtained through an authorized Georgia Bureau of Investigation/Georgia Crime Information Center channel or an FCRA-compliant screening company.

5. No Legal Advice

The site's information is not legal advice. Although we describe how Chattahoochee County criminal records generally work, only a licensed Georgia attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, or record-restriction rule applies to a particular situation.

6. No Warranties

Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that:

  • The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
  • The site will stay up and running without interruptions
  • Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
  • Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Criminal records change as charges are filed or dismissed and records are amended, restricted, or sealed. Despite efforts to keep the material current, gaps are unavoidable. No site content is an official statement of a court, sheriff, or other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

We link to sheriff's office sites, court portals, state agency pages, legal aid organizations, and outside search services across this site. Clicking one of those links moves you off our platform and onto one we have no control over. We are not responsible for their content, how they handle data, what they charge, or whether their site stays online. Check their terms before using them.

8. Intellectual Property

All text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Chattahoochee County Criminal History or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, alter, or create derivative material from that content without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that come from using this site - including decisions made based on information found here or through any linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to hold us harmless from any claim, legal action, or demand that stems from how you used this site or from breaking these terms. That includes covering our legal fees and related costs.

11. Governing Law

Georgia law governs these terms, including applicable provisions of the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, O.C.G.A. §§ 10-1-390 et seq. Any dispute arising from site use must be brought in a court located in Georgia.

12. Changes to These Terms

We can update these terms whenever we see fit. New terms go into effect the moment they appear on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We can limit or block your access to this site at any time, for any reason, with no warning.

14. Severability

If a court rules that any part of these terms is invalid or unenforceable, the rest stand. The problem section gets adjusted only as much as needed to make it work.
