NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) decisions. Its purpose is to organize public record-access resources for Butte County, California. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site. We operate on our own with no ties to any government office. We do not store official criminal records and we cannot pull records, run official background checks, or file documents for anyone.
The site points toward Butte County Sheriff's Office, Butte Superior Court, the California Department of Justice repository, the California Megan's Law Website, and outside research tools. It does not hold the official records maintained by those sources.
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
Information from this site or a linked tool may not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. California law restricts misuse of California Megan's Law Website information and may impose criminal or civil consequences. Registry data supports lawful safety awareness, never vigilantism or prohibited screening.
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
A check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come from a legally authorized, FCRA-compliant provider and follow all applicable California and federal requirements.
5. No Legal Advice
Nothing here is legal advice. General explanations of Butte County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, sealing rule, or expungement remedy applies to an individual matter. Consult a licensed California attorney for legal 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
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Butte County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, modified, or adapted without prior written permission.
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
California law governs these terms. Relevant public-record and criminal-history rules include the California Public Records Act, Government Code sections 7920.000 through 7931.000, and Penal Code section 11105. Any dispute arising from use of the site must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in California.
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
