Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of the website. Accessing its content means that you accept all of them. If you disagree with any condition, stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This is a privately operated resource with no government affiliation. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify criminal-record resources for Putnam County and Georgia. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently from government. It does not store official criminal files, retrieve records, perform official checks, or submit documents for a visitor.

It identifies official custodians for Putnam County records, including the sheriff, criminal courts, GBI/GCIC, and the Georgia Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect readers with independently operated search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is conditioned on avoiding each of the following:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use information found here or through a linked tool to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. Such conduct may also violate law. Georgia Sex Offender Registry information exists to support public safety awareness. It must not be turned into harassment, vigilantism, employment blacklisting, 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 likewise do not turn this resource into a service for applicant, rental, insurance, or credit decisions. Information here or from a linked tool 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 check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come through an appropriate official or FCRA-compliant provider, not this resource or its general search tools.

5. No Legal Advice

The material is informational, not legal advice. General explanations of Putnam County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, restriction, or sealing rule applies to an individual matter. Consult a Georgia-licensed attorney for that advice.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are supplied "as is," without a promise 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, resolved, restricted, sealed, or corrected. Updates may lag, and no content here is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or other government body.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may open sheriff, court, state-agency, legal-aid, or private-service websites that we neither own nor control. We assume no responsibility for their availability, content, privacy practices, or prices. Their own terms should be reviewed before use.

8. Intellectual Property

The site's text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Putnam County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative content requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the greatest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for loss or damage arising from site use, including reliance on information obtained here or through an external service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, demands, proceedings, legal fees, and related costs caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms.

11. Governing Law

Georgia law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the site must be brought in a court located in Georgia.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised. A revision becomes effective when the updated text is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be suspended, limited, or terminated at any time and without prior notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be narrowed only as required for enforceability.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be submitted through the Contact page.
