NO FCRA USE. Nassau County Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, state, or federal agency. It is not a private investigative firm or a consumer reporting agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service for a purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), including decisions about credit, employment, tenant screening, or insurance eligibility. Its role is limited to identifying criminal-record resources in Nassau County and New York.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government authority. It does not maintain official criminal records, retrieve them for visitors, conduct official checks, or submit forms on anyone's behalf.
The content identifies agencies that hold Nassau County records, including local police, the Nassau County Sheriff's Department, New York criminal courts, the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, DOCCS, and the New York State Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also display tools operated by outside providers.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the site is conditioned on an agreement not to:
- Interfere with the website or prevent another visitor from using it
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against its pages
- Seek unauthorized access to any account, system, or restricted function
- Harass, stalk, intimidate, or threaten a person with information found here
- Use site content for a purpose regulated by the FCRA
- Violate a federal, New York, or local law while using the service
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No visitor may use information from the website or a linked service to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. The rule is especially important for the New York State Sex Offender Registry. Correction Law Article 6-C governs registration and public notification, and DCJS warns that using registry data to harass or commit a crime against anyone may itself be a crime. Registry information supports public awareness, not vigilantism or confrontation.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Nassau County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not prepare consumer reports, credit reports, or official background checks. Its advertising partners do not turn this website into an FCRA service. Information from the site or any linked tool must not be used to:
- Make a credit decision
- Evaluate employment eligibility
- Conduct tenant screening
- Determine insurance eligibility
- Carry out any other use regulated by the FCRA
A person seeking a record for a regulated purpose must use an authorized official process or a provider that complies with the FCRA and all other applicable law.
5. No Legal Advice
The website provides general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Nassau County charge, conviction, warrant, or New York record-sealing rule applies to a specific matter. A licensed New York attorney should address that question.
6. No Warranties
All content and functions are supplied "as is." No warranty is made that:
- Outside search results are complete, current, or correctly matched
- Every page is free from errors, defects, or security weaknesses
- The website will remain available without delay or interruption
- Published information is accurate, complete, and current at all times
Criminal records can change when charges are filed, amended, resolved, or sealed. Gaps and delays can occur. Site content is never an official statement from a Nassau County office, New York court, DCJS, or another agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may open a Nassau County agency, New York court portal, state office, legal-aid resource, or outside search service. Those destinations are independently controlled. This site is not responsible for their availability, content, prices, results, or data handling. Their terms should be reviewed before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code on Nassau County Criminal History belong to the site or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create another work without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site is not liable for damages arising from its use, including reliance on content found here or through an outside service.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to defend and hold the site harmless from claims, proceedings, or demands caused by that visitor's use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
New York law governs these terms, and a dispute related to site use must be brought in a court located in New York. New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6, governs access to agency records, while Executive Law §§837 and 845-b address DCJS criminal-history functions and dissemination. Those statutes do not make this private site a government record custodian.
12. Changes to These Terms
The terms may be revised at any time. A revised 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 one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected language will be narrowed only as far as needed to make it enforceable.
