Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of Oldham County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its material, or submitting a search means that you accept the terms stated here. Do not continue to use the website if you disagree with them.

NO FCRA USE. Oldham County Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, Kentucky, or federal government agency. The website and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or any other decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The material identifies public criminal-record resources in Oldham County and Kentucky. This is neither a private-investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a privately operated reference site, independent of all government offices. It does not hold official criminal records, submit filings, perform an official background check, or retrieve an agency file on a visitor's behalf.

Its material directs readers to Oldham County record custodians, including the sheriff, the courts hearing criminal matters, the Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. It also connects to outside tools that may assist with research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Use automated bots, scrapers, or similar tools against the pages
  • Interfere with site performance or another person's access
  • Attempt to enter systems or data without authorization
  • Use information to threaten, stalk, or harass a person
  • Rely on site content for employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Violate any local, Kentucky, or federal law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from the site or a linked tool may not be used to stalk, intimidate, threaten, harass, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate the law. The Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry is maintained under KRS 17.580 for good-faith public dissemination and safety awareness. Registry information cannot lawfully support vigilantism, criminal misuse, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Oldham County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency as the FCRA defines that term. It produces no credit report, background check, or consumer report. Its advertising partners and search tools are not offered for reviewing applicants, rental requests, insurance risk, or credit. You must not use information from the site or a linked service to:

  • Make a credit or insurance decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Decide whether to hire, retain, or dismiss a person
  • Determine eligibility for a permit, license, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated use

When a lawful purpose requires an official record check, follow the applicable Kentucky State Police process or use a screening provider that complies with the FCRA. KRS 17.185 separately governs controlled KSP self-checks and release to a designee.

5. No Legal Advice

The published material is not legal advice. It gives general information about Oldham County criminal records but cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law applies to one person's facts. A licensed Kentucky attorney can provide advice about an individual matter.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are supplied "as is." No guarantee is made that:

  • An outside search result will be accurate or complete
  • The pages contain no bug, error, or security weakness
  • The service will remain available without interruption
  • Information will always be current, complete, or accurate

Criminal-record status can change when charges are filed, amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Delays and gaps may occur. Treat no site content as an official statement by an Oldham County court, the sheriff, Kentucky State Police, or another agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to resources such as court portals, sheriff pages, Kentucky agencies, legal-aid organizations, and outside search services. Those destinations are beyond this site's control. Oldham County Criminal History is not responsible for their availability, content, prices, or privacy practices. Their own terms apply after a visitor leaves this site.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, code, graphics, and logos belong to Oldham County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, altered, distributed, or used to create another work without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Oldham County Criminal History is not liable for damages arising from use of the site, including reliance on material found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the site harmless against a claim, action, or demand caused by your use of the service or your breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Kentucky law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the site must be brought in a court located in Kentucky. The Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870–61.884, governs access to public-agency records and does not convert this private site into a government custodian.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision takes effect when it is posted here.

Effective date: July 26, 2026

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be limited only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

The Contact page lists the site's administrative contact route. It does not provide legal advice or official Oldham County record assistance.
