NO FCRA USE. Alachua County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The resource identifies criminal-record access channels in Alachua County and Florida. It is neither a private investigative service nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, independent of all public offices. It does not store official records, conduct official checks, retrieve files, or submit documents for a visitor.
Its purpose is to identify ACSO Records, the Alachua County Clerk, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement repository, the Florida Sexual Offender and Predator Public Registry, and other access channels. Some pages also connect to independent research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the website is conditioned on an agreement not to:
- Violate federal, Florida, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
- Use content for employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
- Deploy scrapers, bots, or other automated collection tools
- Interfere with performance or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No information obtained here or through a linked tool may be used to intimidate, harass, stalk, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. Such conduct can be criminal. The same rule applies to Florida Sexual Offender and Predator Public Registry data, which is published for public awareness rather than vigilantism, blacklisting, or discriminatory treatment.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Alachua County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create consumer, credit, or background reports. Its advertising partners are not presented as tools for applicant, rental, insurance, or credit decisions. Data from this website or a linked feature must not be used to:
- Make an employment decision
- Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
- Set credit or insurance terms
- Determine eligibility for a covered license, benefit, or permit
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
A legally authorized check for a regulated purpose must come from the proper official process or a consumer reporting agency that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
Website content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, sealing rule, or expunction provision affects a particular person. A licensed Florida attorney can provide advice about an individual matter.
6. No Warranties
All material and functions are offered "as is," without a guarantee that:
- Information will always be complete, current, or correct
- Service will remain continuous or uninterrupted
- Pages will be free from defects or security weaknesses
- A partner's search result will be accurate or comprehensive
Charges, dispositions, sealing orders, and expunctions can change the public record. Delays and omissions are possible. No website content is an official statement by ACSO, the Alachua County Clerk, FDLE, or another public body.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to government portals, legal resources, or outside search providers. Those destinations are independently controlled. Alachua County Criminal History is not responsible for their content, availability, pricing, data handling, or terms.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code are owned by Alachua County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, adapting, distributing, or creating derivative material requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Alachua County Criminal History is not liable for losses arising from website use, including reliance on its content or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to indemnify and hold the site harmless from claims, demands, and proceedings caused by that user's conduct or breach of these terms, including applicable legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Florida law governs these terms, including applicable provisions of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, sections 501.201 through 501.213. Florida Public Records Law, Chapter 119, and criminal-history dissemination statute 943.053 govern public agencies rather than converting this private site into a government custodian. Any proceeding arising from website use must be brought in a court located in Florida.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
