NO FCRA USE. Grant County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions, or for any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The website is a reference to criminal-record resources in Grant County, Kentucky. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference website with no tie to a public office. It does not store official records, retrieve a government file, perform an official check, or submit documents for a visitor.
Its role is to identify likely custodians of Grant County criminal records, including the Grant County Sheriff, Grant County Circuit Court Clerk, Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, Kentucky Court of Justice, and Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is permitted only when it is lawful and does not interfere with the service or another person. A user must not:
- Use the website in violation of federal, Kentucky, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found through it
- Apply its content to an FCRA-regulated credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
- Use a bot, scraper, or other automated collection process against the pages
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any account, server, or system
- Impair access, overload the service, or disrupt another visitor's use
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No information from the website or a linked tool may be used to stalk, intimidate, threaten, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against a person. Such conduct may also violate criminal law. Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry data requires particular care. The registry exists for public safety awareness, not vigilantism or punishment by members of the public. Misuse directed at a listed person or household is forbidden.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Grant County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and creates no credit report, background check, or consumer report. Its advertising partners are not presented as services for evaluating an applicant, renter, insurance risk, or credit risk. Data reached through this website or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Set insurance eligibility or pricing
- Make an employment decision
- Evaluate a rental or housing application
- Assess creditworthiness
- Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
A legally permissible check for a regulated purpose must come through the appropriate official Kentucky channel or a provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
Website content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Grant County charge, conviction, warrant, or Kentucky expungement rule applies to a specific person. Legal questions require a licensed Kentucky attorney.
6. No Warranties
All content and functions are offered "as is" without a promise that:
- A partner result is accurate or complete
- Every fact is current, correct, and complete
- The service will remain uninterrupted
- The website contains no error, defect, or security weakness
Charges, dispositions, restrictions, and expungements can change a record after information is published. Gaps and delays are possible. No website statement should be treated as an official position of the Grant County clerk, sheriff, detention center, Kentucky State Police, or another government office.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to government offices, court systems, legal resources, and outside search services that Grant County Criminal History does not control. The destination is responsible for its content, availability, charges, and handling of submitted data. Review its terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, code, graphics, and logos belong to Grant County Criminal History or its content partners. Written permission is required before copying, adapting, distributing, or creating derivative material from that content.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, the website and its operators are not liable for damage arising from its use, including reliance on information reached here or through an external service.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to defend and hold the website and its operators harmless from a demand, claim, or action caused by that user's conduct or violation of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.
11. Governing Law
Kentucky law governs these terms, and a dispute tied to website use must be brought in a court located in Kentucky. The Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, and KRS 17.150 govern public-agency record access and do not make this private website a government custodian.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, with or without advance notice and for any reason.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in force. The affected language will be narrowed only as far as necessary to make it enforceable.
