Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of the website. Continuing to browse means you agree to them. If you do not accept the terms, stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. Union County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. This website and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource identifies criminal-record channels in Union County, Tennessee. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site, independent of every public office. It does not hold official records, perform official checks, retrieve files, or submit paperwork for a user.

Its role is to identify the Union County sheriff and courts, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry, along with outside tools that may assist lawful personal research. Official access remains subject to the Tennessee Public Records Act, Tenn. Code Ann. §§10-7-501 through 10-7-515, and TBI's public-check authority in Tenn. Code Ann. §38-6-120.

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

You may not use information from this website or a linked tool to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone. Tennessee law places specific limits on Tennessee Sex Offender Registry information, and misuse may carry criminal penalties. Registry data supports community safety awareness, not vigilantism 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

Any check for a regulated purpose must come from the proper Tennessee Bureau of Investigation channel or a provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The site provides no legal advice. General Union County record information cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule applies to one person. Ask a licensed Tennessee attorney for 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 all the time - charges are filed, dismissed, sealed, and expunged. We try to keep up, but gaps are unavoidable. Nothing on this site should be treated as an official statement from a court, sheriff, or 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

Union County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required before copying, adapting, distributing, or building upon that material.

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

Tennessee law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Tennessee.

12. Changes to These Terms

We can update these terms whenever we see fit. New terms go into effect the moment they appear on this page.

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.
