Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Visiting a page, submitting a search, or reading its material signifies agreement with every term below. Anyone who does not agree should stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This is a private resource with no government affiliation. The website and its advertising partners do not offer services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or any other Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) purpose. Hartford and Connecticut record information is provided for reference only, not as a private-investigation or consumer-reporting service.

1. What This Website Is

This privately operated reference website is independent of every government agency. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves official records, performs official background checks, or submits documents on a visitor's behalf.

The material identifies the agencies that actually serve Hartford, including Hartford Police, Connecticut Superior Court, DESPP's State Police Bureau of Identification, Connecticut DOC, and the Connecticut Sex Offender Registry. Independent research tools may also be linked.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you agree not to:

  • Violate a federal, Connecticut, or local law through use of the website
  • Stalk, threaten, or harass another person with information found here
  • Use the content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or restricted area
  • Deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
  • Interfere with performance or prevent others from accessing the website

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Neither website content nor material from a linked tool may be used to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate. Connecticut Sex Offender Registry information demands particular care because misuse directed at a registrant can have legal consequences. Registry disclosure supports public-safety awareness and does not authorize vigilantism or unlawful discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background checks, or any other consumer report. Services offered here or by advertising partners are not designed to screen applicants, assess rental requests, price insurance, or evaluate credit. You therefore agree not to use website or linked-tool data to:

  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Set an insurance premium or assess creditworthiness
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other action regulated by the FCRA

For a regulated purpose, obtain the required check through the proper official procedure or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The website does not provide legal advice. General Hartford record explanations cannot resolve how a Connecticut charge, conviction, warrant, pardon, or erasure law applies to individual facts. Advice about a specific matter should come from a Connecticut-licensed lawyer.

6. No Warranties

All material and functions are supplied "as is." No warranty is made that:

  • Published information will always be complete, accurate, or current
  • Access will remain uninterrupted
  • The pages contain no errors, vulnerabilities, or defects
  • An outside search provider will return complete or correct results

Charges, dispositions, custody information, and erasure status can change, and reporting delays or omissions may occur. Nothing published here is an official statement of Hartford Police, the Connecticut Judicial Branch, DESPP, DOC, or any other public agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Outbound links can lead to Hartford services, Connecticut court and agency portals, legal information, or independent search providers. Each destination controls its own content, availability, charges, and privacy practices. Its terms should be reviewed before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Hartford County Criminal History or its content partners own the text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, distributing, altering, or preparing derivative works requires written authorization.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damage arising from website use, including harm tied to decisions based on material found here or through an outside service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, demands, or proceedings resulting from your use of the website or breach of these conditions, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

These conditions are governed by Connecticut law. Any dispute connected with use of the website must be filed in a Connecticut court.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision becomes effective when the updated language is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, 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 necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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