NO FCRA USE. Arkansas Criminal History is privately owned and has no connection to a local, state, or federal agency. Neither the website nor its advertising partners provide a service for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant screening, or another Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) purpose. The material helps readers locate Arkansas criminal-record resources. It is not a private-investigation service or a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
Arkansas Criminal History is a private reference site, independent of every government office. It does not store official records, perform official checks, retrieve a file, or submit paperwork for a visitor.
The material identifies sources such as ACIC, Arkansas State Police, the Arkansas Department of Corrections, the Arkansas Sex Offender Registry, Arkansas courts, and local agencies across 75 counties. Links may also connect readers with outside research tools. The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq., applies to covered government custodians, not to this private website.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is conditioned on an agreement not to:
- Use the website in violation of federal, Arkansas, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, intimidate, or harass another person with information found here
- Rely on the content for housing, hiring, lending, or insurance decisions
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
- Deploy scrapers, bots, or other automated collection tools against the pages
- Interfere with performance or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from Arkansas Criminal History or a linked tool may not be used to stalk, intimidate, threaten, harass, or unlawfully discriminate. That rule is especially important for Arkansas Sex Offender Registry information. Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-913 controls public disclosure, and registry data is provided for lawful safety awareness, not vigilante action or retaliation. Arkansas criminal-history dissemination is also restricted by Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1009.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Arkansas Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not prepare a credit report, background check, or consumer report. Its advertising partners also do not offer tools through this website for FCRA screening. Information from these pages or linked tools may not be used to:
- Determine eligibility for credit or set insurance terms
- Evaluate a person for employment
- Assess a tenant or housing application
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Make any other decision regulated by the FCRA
A legally permissible screening need requires the appropriate official Arkansas State Police channel or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
The material is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how an Arkansas charge, conviction, warrant, or sealing rule applies to a specific matter. A licensed Arkansas attorney should address an individual legal question.
6. No Warranties
All content and features are offered "as is." No warranty is made that:
- A partner tool will return complete or accurate results
- The pages will remain free from defects or security weaknesses
- The service will always be available without interruption
- Any information will be complete, accurate, or current
Arkansas records can change when a charge is filed, dismissed, amended, or sealed. Delays and gaps are possible. Treat no statement on Arkansas Criminal History as an official representation by a court, sheriff, ACIC, Arkansas State Police, or another agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may point to Arkansas agencies, courts, county clerks and sheriffs, legal-aid groups, or outside search services. A destination is independently operated. Arkansas Criminal History is not responsible for its availability, fees, content, security, or privacy practices. Review the destination's terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Arkansas Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, adapted, distributed, or used to create another work without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, Arkansas Criminal History is not liable for loss or damage arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to indemnify and hold Arkansas Criminal History harmless from claims, demands, and proceedings caused by that user's conduct or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Arkansas law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with website use must be brought in a court located in Arkansas.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised. A new version becomes effective when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected term will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
