Terms of Use

These terms govern use of Monroe County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its content, or submitting a query through a search tool signifies agreement with every condition below. Anyone who does not agree must stop using the website. The terms apply to the private reference content, its links, and its partner tools. They do not replace the rules of the Monroe County offices, New York courts, DCJS, or any other government system reached through an outbound link.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a local, state, or federal agency. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its role is to identify criminal-record resources serving Monroe County, New York. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not store official criminal records, submit filings, retrieve documents, or conduct official record reviews.

The site identifies custodians that serve Monroe County, including the Monroe County Sheriff, individual court clerks, the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), and the New York State Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect visitors with third-party research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use of the website is conditioned on an agreement not to:

  • Use the site's information to stalk, threaten, or harass a person
  • Use content for hiring, housing, credit, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Violate a federal, New York, or local law
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
  • Operate bots, scrapers, or other automated tools against these pages
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information found here or through a linked tool may not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate the law. New York Correction Law Article 6-C, including Section 168-l, controls public dissemination of New York State Sex Offender Registry information. Registry data is supplied for lawful public-safety awareness, never vigilantism, blacklisting, or discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Our advertising partners likewise do not offer their tools here for evaluating job applicants, rental applications, insurance rates, or creditworthiness. Information from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:

  • Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
  • Make a hiring or firing decision
  • Evaluate a tenant or housing applicant
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government program
  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA

A person who needs a check for a regulated purpose must use the legally authorized official channel or an FCRA-compliant provider.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or New York record-sealing rule applies to a specific case. Consult a licensed New York attorney for legal advice.

6. No Warranties

All content is provided "as is." We make no guarantee that:

  • A partner search result will be accurate or complete
  • The website will operate without interruption
  • Content will always be complete, accurate, and current
  • Every page will be free from errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities

Criminal records can change when charges are filed, amended, dismissed, or sealed. Gaps and delays are possible. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Monroe County Sheriff, a court, DCJS, or any other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to government offices, court portals, state agencies, legal-aid organizations, and outside search services. We do not control a destination's content, availability, fees, data practices, or terms. Review its rules before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code on Monroe County Criminal History belong to the site or its content partners. Copying, distributing, adapting, or building on that material requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of this site, including reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from a claim, demand, or action caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

New York law governs these terms. A dispute connected with use of the site must be brought in a court located in New York.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revision takes effect when the new version is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or terminate access at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be modified only as far as needed to make it enforceable.
