NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no connection to a local, state, or federal government body. Neither the website nor its advertising partners offers a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to help readers locate criminal-record resources in Cherokee County, Georgia. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site operating independently from every government office. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve official files, conduct official checks, or submit documents on a user's behalf.
Its content identifies the Cherokee County custodians that hold records, including the sheriff, criminal courts, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Georgia Crime Information Center, and the Georgia Sex Offender Registry. It may also connect readers to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- 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
Using information from this website or a linked tool to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone is prohibited and may be criminal. This rule applies with special force to Georgia Sex Offender Registry information. Georgia law restricts misuse, and registry data exists for public safety awareness, not vigilantism, blacklisting, or unlawful discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool 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
If a lawful FCRA-regulated purpose requires a check, use the authorized Georgia Bureau of Investigation and Georgia Crime Information Center process or an FCRA-compliant screening company.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is not legal advice. General descriptions of Cherokee County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, sealing rule, or Georgia record restriction law applies to a particular matter. Consult a licensed Georgia attorney for legal advice.
6. No Warranties
Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee 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, dismissed, restricted, sealed, or corrected. Gaps and delays are possible, and no content here is an official statement from a court, sheriff, GBI/GCIC, or another government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
We link to sheriff's office sites, court portals, state agency pages, legal aid organizations, and outside search services across this site. Clicking one of those links moves you off our platform and onto one we have no control over. We are not responsible for their content, how they handle data, what they charge, or whether their site stays online. Check their terms before using them.
8. Intellectual Property
Website text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Cherokee County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, modified, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that come from using this site - including decisions made based on information found here or through any linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to hold us harmless from any claim, legal action, or demand that stems from how you used this site or from breaking these terms. That includes covering our legal fees and related costs.
11. Governing Law
Georgia law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in Georgia. The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §§ 50-18-70 through 50-18-77, governs public-agency records and does not make this private website a public custodian. GCIC dissemination remains subject to O.C.G.A. § 35-3-34.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised, with a new version effective when posted here. Effective date: July 18, 2026.
13. Cutting Off Access
We can limit or block your access to this site at any time, for any reason, with no warning.
14. Severability
If a court rules that any part of these terms is invalid or unenforceable, the rest stand. The problem section gets adjusted only as much as needed to make it work.
