Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, page view, and search made through this website. Continued use means that you accept them. If you do not agree, stop accessing the site.

NO FCRA USE. Rockcastle County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. Neither the site nor an advertising partner offers a service for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) decision. This reference resource points to Rockcastle County and Kentucky record offices. It is neither a private investigation service nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site is independent of every government office. We do not store official records, conduct government background checks, retrieve files, or submit paperwork for a visitor.

Its purpose is to route readers to the Rockcastle sheriff, Circuit Court Clerk, Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry, as well as to optional outside search services. The Kentucky Open Records Act applies to public-agency records, and 502 KAR 30:060 controls KSP criminal-history dissemination; neither makes this private site an official custodian.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Use the site in violation of federal, Kentucky, or local law
  • Harass, stalk, threaten, or intimidate another person with information found here
  • Use site content for a credit, job, housing, or insurance decision
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Deploy a scraper, bot, or other automated collection tool
  • Interfere with performance or another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No information reached here may be used to stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or discriminate. Misuse of Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry data can also violate Kentucky law and lead to criminal penalties. Registry access supports public awareness, not vigilante conduct or blacklisting.

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 files, or official background checks. Site data and linked tools are not offered for applicant, rental, insurance, or credit screening. You must not use them to:

  • Make a hiring, firing, or employment decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing application
  • Set insurance terms or assess credit
  • Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A lawful regulated check must come from the authorized Kentucky State Police process or a provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Record explanations are general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Kentucky attorney can advise how a Rockcastle County charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule applies to specific facts.

6. No Warranties

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

  • Information will always be current, accurate, or complete
  • Every page will remain available without interruption
  • The service contains no defect, error, or security weakness
  • An outside search provider will return complete or correct results

Charges and records can be filed, changed, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Updates may create gaps. Treat no site content as an official statement from a court, sheriff, or government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to law enforcement, courts, Kentucky agencies, legal-aid groups, or outside search companies. Those destinations are beyond our control. Their operators are responsible for availability, prices, content, and data practices, so review their own terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Rockcastle County Criminal History and its content partners retain rights in the site's text, code, graphics, and logos. Written permission is required to copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative material from them.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim liability for losses arising from site use, linked services, or reliance on information reached through either.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless against a claim or demand caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

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

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these conditions. A revision becomes effective when the updated terms are posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or ended at any time, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is found invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in force. The affected language will be limited only as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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