Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of Lowndes County Criminal History. Continuing to use the website means accepting them. Anyone who does not agree should stop using it.

NO FCRA USE. This is a private resource with no government affiliation. It and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or another use governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The purpose is to route readers to criminal-record resources for Lowndes County, Alabama. We are neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation firm.

1. What This Website Is

This privately operated reference site is independent of every government office. It does not hold official criminal records, submit filings, retrieve records, or conduct an official background check.

Its content identifies the Lowndes County sheriff, jail, courts, municipal agencies, Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, Alabama Department of Corrections, and Alabama Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is conditioned on an agreement not to:

  • Interfere with the service or another visitor's access
  • Deploy bots, scraping software, or other automated collection tools
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Use the content for an FCRA-regulated decision
  • Stalk, threaten, or harass another person
  • Violate a federal, Alabama, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use this content or a linked tool to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Alabama Sex Offender Registry information requires particular care. Alabama Code § 15-20A-45 provides criminal and monetary penalties for conduct covered by ASORCNA. Registry access supports lawful safety awareness and never authorizes vigilantism or retaliation.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not prepare credit, background, or consumer reports. This website and its advertising partners are not offered for any regulated eligibility decision. Data from this site or a linked tool may not be used to:

  • Make an employment decision
  • Evaluate housing eligibility
  • Set credit or insurance terms
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Perform another act regulated by the FCRA

A legally permitted official check must be obtained through an authorized, compliant channel. ALEA's Alabama Background Check system is restricted to qualifying subscribers and is not a public people-search portal.

5. No Legal Advice

The material is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Alabama attorney can advise how a Lowndes County charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law applies to a specific situation.

6. No Warranties

All material is supplied "as is," without a promise that:

  • A partner search will be complete or correct
  • Every page will be free of an error or security flaw
  • The service will always be uninterrupted
  • Every fact will remain accurate, complete, and current

A charge may be filed, changed, dismissed, restricted, or expunged after publication. Gaps and delays can occur. Only the originating court, sheriff, police agency, ALEA, or other custodian can issue an official statement or record.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

A link may lead to a sheriff, court, Alabama agency, legal resource, or independent search company. We do not control an outside service's content, uptime, fee, result, or privacy practice. Its own terms apply after a visitor leaves this website.

8. Intellectual Property

Lowndes County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to copy, distribute, alter, or create a derivative work from that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the greatest extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from use of this website, its information, or an outside service reached through it.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, and proceedings caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

Alabama law governs these terms. A dispute connected with website use must be brought in a court located in Alabama.

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 limited or ended at any time, with or without prior notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be changed only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions
