Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of website content. Accessing the website means that you accept them. Stop using it if you do not agree.

NO FCRA USE. This is a private resource with no government affiliation. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide a service for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or any other decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The website identifies Paulding County and Georgia record resources. It is neither a private investigation business nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference website operates independently of government. It neither stores official records nor retrieves them, performs official checks, or submits documents for users.

Its role is to identify Paulding County custodians, including the Sheriff Records Division, court clerks, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and GCIC, and the Georgia Sex Offender Registry, while offering links to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, you agree not to:

  • Use automated bots or scrapers against the pages
  • Violate federal, Georgia, or local law
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
  • Use the content for employment, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system
  • Interfere with performance or another visitor’s access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from this website or a linked tool may not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Georgia registry information exists for lawful public-safety awareness, never vigilantism. Conduct such as threats, stalking, harassment, trespass, or violence may violate Georgia law. The registry does not authorize adverse employment or housing action.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not an FCRA consumer reporting agency and create no credit report, consumer report, or screening product. Our content and linked tools may not be used to:

  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing application
  • Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A lawful regulated check must come through the appropriate official Georgia process or an FCRA-compliant provider.

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is not legal advice. General Paulding County information cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, record restriction, or sealing rule applies to specific facts. Consult a Georgia-licensed attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content is supplied “as is,” without a guarantee that:

  • Partner search results are complete or correct
  • Content is always current, complete, and accurate
  • Service will remain continuous
  • Pages contain no errors, vulnerabilities, or bugs

Charges and dispositions change, and Georgia records may later be restricted, sealed, or corrected. Gaps are possible. No content here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, or agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff, court, state, legal-aid, and independent search services beyond our control. We are not responsible for an outside service’s content, privacy practices, fees, or availability. Review its terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Paulding County Criminal History or its content partners own the website’s text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to copy, distribute, adapt, or create derivative material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for harm arising from website use, including reliance on content or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, and proceedings caused by your use or breach of these terms, including associated legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Georgia law governs these terms, including applicable provisions of the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §§50-18-70 through 50-18-77, and criminal-history dissemination law in O.C.G.A. §35-3-34. Any lawsuit related to website use must be brought in a court located in Georgia.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A revision becomes effective when posted to this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or terminated at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue. The affected language will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
