NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not connected with a federal, New York, or Chemung County government agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service intended for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We are neither a private-investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government affiliation. It does not hold official records, perform an authorized background check, retrieve a file, or submit paperwork for a visitor.
Its content identifies custodians for Chemung County records, including Sheriff Records, the originating courts, the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), and the New York State Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside search tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the site is conditioned on the following restrictions. You may not:
- Use content in violation of federal, New York, or local law
- Stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass another person
- Use site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Attempt unauthorized access to a system or account
- Deploy a bot, scraper, or automated collection tool against the pages
- Disrupt performance or interfere with another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information obtained here or through a linked tool must not be used to stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Those acts may also violate criminal law. New York registry data receives special treatment under Correction Law Article 6-C, including the registry provisions in Section 168-b. It is released for public-safety awareness, not confrontation, private punishment, or unlawful discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce a credit report, consumer report, or authorized screening product. Content from this site or a linked tool cannot be used to:
- Approve, reject, retain, or dismiss a worker
- Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
- Set insurance eligibility, coverage, or rates
- Measure creditworthiness
- Make another decision governed by the FCRA
A lawful screening need must be handled through an authorized, FCRA-compliant provider and the proper official channel. DCJS criminal-history dissemination is separately controlled by New York law, including Executive Law Section 837.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed New York attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, or record-sealing law applies to a particular set of facts.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied "as is." We make no promise that:
- A page is complete, accurate, or current at all times
- Service will remain uninterrupted
- The platform has no errors, defects, or security weaknesses
- A partner result is accurate, complete, or matched to the right person
Charges, dispositions, custody, and sealing status can change. Delays and gaps are unavoidable. No page is an official statement from a court, sheriff, DCJS, or any other public agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Outbound links can lead to county departments, New York courts, state agencies, legal services, and commercial search providers. We do not control their availability, content, prices, or data practices. Their own terms apply after a visitor leaves this site.
8. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, site text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Chemung County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, modifying, distributing, or creating derivative material requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from site use, inability to use the service, or reliance on content obtained here or through an outside link.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, proceedings, legal fees, and related costs caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms.
11. Governing Law
New York law governs these terms, without changing any right that cannot lawfully be waived. A dispute connected with site use must be brought in a court located in New York. Public requests to a New York agency remain governed by the Freedom of Information Law in Public Officers Law Article 6, including Section 87.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A revision becomes effective when the updated text is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be suspended or ended at any time, with or without advance notice, subject to applicable law.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be limited only as much as necessary.
