Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of Poinsett County Criminal History, including its articles and search tools. Visiting or using the site indicates agreement to the terms below. Anyone who does not agree should discontinue use.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a local, state, or federal agency. It and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify Poinsett County and Arkansas record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site operated independently of government. It does not store official criminal records, perform official checks, retrieve records for visitors, or submit legal documents.

Its role is to identify Poinsett County custodians, such as the sheriff and court clerks, along with Arkansas State Police Identification Bureau and Arkansas Crime Information Center systems and the Arkansas Sex Offender Notification System. Public dissemination of Arkansas criminal history is governed in part by Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1009. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is permitted only when these restrictions are followed. A visitor must 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

Information obtained here or through a linked service may not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Registry data warrants special care. Arkansas Sex Offender Notification System information is published for lawful public-safety awareness, not retaliation, vigilantism, or blacklisting. Misuse against a registrant may violate Arkansas law.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Poinsett County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Its advertising partners are not presented as providers for regulated screening. Information from the site or a linked tool may not be used 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

A check for a regulated purpose must be obtained through a properly authorized Arkansas State Police channel or a provider that complies with the FCRA and all other applicable law.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Arkansas sealing law applies to a particular person. A licensed Arkansas attorney should address individual legal questions.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are supplied "as is" and "as available." No warranty is made 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

Charges, dispositions, access rules, and sealed-record status can change. Delays and omissions may occur. Nothing published here is an official statement of a Poinsett County court, sheriff, or Arkansas agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff pages, court portals, Arkansas agencies, legal resources, and commercial search services. Those destinations are independently operated. Their content, availability, privacy practices, fees, and terms are outside this site's control and should be reviewed before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code are owned by Poinsett County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative material requires prior written permission unless applicable law allows otherwise.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and its operators are not liable for loss or damage arising from site use, inability to use it, or reliance on content from it or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A user agrees to defend and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, demands, and proceedings caused by that user's conduct or breach of these terms, including related reasonable legal costs.

11. Governing Law

Arkansas law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. A dispute arising from site use must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Arkansas. Requests for Arkansas government records remain governed separately by the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act and other applicable access laws.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when posted unless the text states a later effective date.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be suspended or ended at any time, with or without notice, including when use threatens the service or violates these terms.

14. Severability

If one provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be limited only as much as necessary to make it enforceable where possible.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be directed through the Contact page.
