Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of content on the website. Continuing to browse means that you accept them. If you do not agree, discontinue use of the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not connected with any federal, Georgia, or Calhoun County government body. The site and its advertising partners do not provide tools for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant screening, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). It is a reference resource for locating criminal-record channels in Calhoun County, Georgia, not a private-investigation service or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is an independently operated private reference site, not a government office. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves official checks or files paperwork on a visitor's behalf.

Its function is to identify Calhoun County custodians, such as the sheriff, criminal courts, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Georgia Crime Information Center, and the Georgia Sex Offender Registry, while also linking to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Use the website in violation of federal, Georgia, or local law
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass another person using information found here
  • Rely on site content for employment, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
  • Deploy bots, scraping software, or other automated collection tools
  • Interfere with performance or another visitor's ability to use the site

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate against anyone, and such conduct may violate law. Georgia Sex Offender Registry information is provided for public-safety awareness. It must not be used for vigilantism, retaliation, prohibited employment action, or housing discrimination.

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 and this website are not offered for evaluating applicants, renters, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. Site or linked-tool data 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

A lawful check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must be obtained through an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider or authorized official process. Georgia criminal-history dissemination through GCIC is governed in part by O.C.G.A. §35-3-34.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is informational and not legal advice. General explanations of Calhoun County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, sealing question, or Georgia record-restriction rule applies to an individual. Consult a Georgia-licensed attorney for legal advice.

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, dismissed, restricted, sealed, or corrected. Gaps and delays are unavoidable, and nothing published here is an official statement from a court, sheriff, GBI, or another government office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links to sheriff, court, Georgia agency, legal-aid, and outside search websites lead to services beyond our control. We do not warrant their content, data practices, prices, or availability. Their own terms apply after a visitor leaves this site.

8. Intellectual Property

Calhoun County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, distributing, adapting, or creating derivative works requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of the website, including reliance on information supplied here or by an external service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, demands, or proceedings resulting from your site use or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Georgia law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in Georgia. Government-record access remains subject to applicable law, including the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §50-18-70 et seq.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time, and a revision becomes effective when posted. Effective date: July 18, 2026.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be suspended or terminated at any time, with or without advance notice.

14. Severability

If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be modified only to the extent required for enforceability.

15. Questions
