NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither the website nor an advertising partner supplies a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or any other Fair Credit Reporting Act purpose. It is a reference for Hancock County, Kentucky record sources, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no connection to a government office. We do not store official criminal records, retrieve records, conduct official checks, or submit documents for a visitor.
The material identifies custodians such as Hancock Circuit Court Clerk, local police agencies, Kentucky State Police, and the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also display tools run by outside companies.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the website carries these restrictions. A visitor may 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
Information found here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate. Such conduct can also violate the law. Kentucky's KRS 17.580 warning applies to Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry data. The registry supports public safety awareness, not threats, punishment, or vigilantism.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer, credit, or official background reports. Information from the website or any linked tool must not be used 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
Any check for a regulated purpose must come from an appropriate official source or an FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
Nothing published here is legal advice. A licensed Kentucky attorney is the proper source for advice about a specific warrant, charge, conviction, court order, or expungement question.
6. No Warranties
All content and functions are 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
Records change through filings, amendments, dismissals, restrictions, and expungement. Delay and gaps are possible. Website content is not an official statement by a court, sheriff, or government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to courts, police agencies, Kentucky services, legal resources, and outside search providers. Those services operate independently. We do not control their content, availability, prices, or data practices, and visitors should review the destination's terms.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Hancock County Criminal History or the relevant content partner. Written permission is required before copying, modifying, distributing, or building on that material.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damage arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims or proceedings caused by that visitor's use or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Kentucky law governs these terms. A dispute related to website use must be filed in a Kentucky court with proper jurisdiction.

These terms may be revised. A revision takes effect when it is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
