NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no local, state, or federal government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site points readers to criminal-record resources in Clay County, Alabama. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

Its content identifies the Clay County sheriff, criminal courts, Alabama Law Enforcement Agency repository, Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Sex Offender Registry, and outside research tools that may be relevant.
2. Rules for Using This Site
As a condition of use, you must not:

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this website or a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Such conduct can be criminal.

Registry information supports public safety awareness and does not authorize vigilantism, 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 background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. The site and its advertising partners do not provide services designed to evaluate applicants, renters, insurance risks, or credit. Data from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Evaluate creditworthiness or insurance pricing

A lawful check needed for a regulated purpose must be obtained through an authorized official channel or an FCRA-compliant screening provider.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is not legal advice. General information about Clay County records cannot determine how a charge, warrant, conviction, or Alabama expungement law applies to a particular matter. Consult a licensed Alabama attorney for advice.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are provided "as is." We make no promise that:
- A partner search result is complete or correct
- Every page is free from errors, defects, or security weaknesses
- The service will remain continuously available
- Published information is always current, accurate, or complete
Criminal records change as charges are filed, resolved, restricted, or expunged. Updates can lag. Nothing published here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, or agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to sheriff sites, court systems, state agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. We do not control those destinations and are not responsible for their content, availability, pricing, or data practices. Review the destination's terms before use.

Code § 41-9-590 et seq. govern public records and criminal-justice information through their respective official custodians, not through this private site.
