Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site operated independently of government. We do not hold official criminal records, retrieve records on a visitor's behalf, conduct official background checks, or file documents for another person.

The content identifies agencies that maintain Edmonson County criminal records, including the sheriff's office, the criminal courts, the Kentucky State Police (KSP) Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. It may also link to third-party tools for additional research. Public-agency access is governed by the Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, including the exemptions in KRS 61.878.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you agree not to:

• Use bots, scrapers, or other automated tools against the website
• Stalk, threaten, or harass anyone with information found here
• Attempt to enter systems or areas you are not authorized to access
• Use site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
• Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access
• Violate any applicable local, Kentucky, or federal law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information from this website or a linked tool to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate the law. The restriction is especially important for information from the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Kentucky presents the registry under KRS 17.580 for safety and awareness, not punishment or embarrassment. Harassment can violate KRS 525.070 or KRS 525.080 and may bring criminal penalties. Registry information must never support vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Edmonson County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Neither the website nor its advertising partners produces consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. The services are not designed to evaluate applicants, renters, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. You agree that neither site content nor data from a linked tool will be used to:

• Set insurance premiums or assess creditworthiness
• Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
• Make a hiring or firing decision
• Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
• Carry out any other activity governed by the FCRA

When a background check is needed for a regulated purpose, obtain the proper official process through the KSP Criminal Identification and Records Branch or use a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. Although it describes criminal-record procedures in Edmonson County, it cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement rule affects an individual case. Consult an attorney licensed in Kentucky for that advice.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are supplied "as is." We make no promise that:

• A partner's search results will be complete or correct
• The website will remain available without interruption
• Site information will always be current, accurate, or complete
• The pages will be free from bugs, errors, or security flaws

Criminal records can change as charges are filed, amended, dismissed, or expunged. Updates may not appear here at once, and gaps can occur. No content on this website is an official statement from the Edmonson County courts, sheriff, Kentucky State Police, or another government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may point to the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office, Kentucky court portals, state agencies, legal-aid organizations, or outside search services. Following a link takes you to a service outside our control. We are not responsible for its availability, content, fees, or data practices. Read the destination's terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Edmonson County Criminal History or its content partners own the text, graphics, logos, and code displayed here. You may not reproduce, distribute, alter, or create derivative material from that content without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from use of this website, including actions taken in reliance on information found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal proceedings arising from your use of the website or your violation of these terms. This obligation includes related costs and legal fees.

11. Governing Law

Kentucky law governs these terms. Any dispute related to your use of Edmonson County Criminal History must be brought in a court located in Kentucky.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend, limit, or end access to the website at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be modified only to the extent needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
