Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Visiting a page, reading its material, or submitting a search means that you accept every term below. Do not continue using the site if you disagree with them.

NO FCRA USE. This privately owned website has no connection to Hamden Town or any government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act decisions. The resource points to Hamden and Connecticut criminal-record sources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is an independent private reference site. It does not keep official criminal records and cannot retrieve a record, conduct an official check, or submit documents for a visitor.

Its function is to identify the actual custodians, including Hamden Police, Connecticut Superior Court, DESPP/SPBI, the Department of Correction, and the Connecticut Sex Offender Registry, while also providing access to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Violate any applicable local, state, or federal law
  • Stalk, threaten, or harass a person with information found here
  • Use site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt to enter systems or data without authorization
  • Operate bots, scraping software, or other automated collection tools
  • Disrupt performance or interfere with another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from the site or a linked service may not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Such conduct may also violate criminal law. Connecticut Sex Offender Registry information requires special care: Chapter 969, including CGS §54-258a, provides consequences for misuse. Registry access exists for public-safety awareness, not vigilantism, blacklisting, or unlawful discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or official background checks. Our advertising partners are not presented as services for evaluating applicants, renters, insurance risk, or credit. Site or linked-tool information must not be used to:

  • Make an employment decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing application
  • Set credit or insurance eligibility or terms
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Carry out another purpose regulated by the FCRA

When a regulated purpose requires a background check, use the proper DESPP/SPBI channel or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is not legal advice. General information about Hamden and Connecticut records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or erasure law applies to a particular matter. Obtain advice from a Connecticut-licensed attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are provided "as is." We make no promise that:

  • Every item is complete, accurate, or current
  • Access will always be available or uninterrupted
  • The website contains no defects, errors, or security weaknesses
  • A partner search will return complete or correct results

Criminal records change as charges are filed, resolved, sealed, corrected, or erased. Updates can therefore lag. Nothing published here is an official statement by Hamden Police, Connecticut Superior Court, DESPP, or another agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to Hamden Town, Connecticut courts and agencies, legal-aid organizations, or commercial search services. Those destinations are outside our control. We are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, or fees. Review a provider's own terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Hamden Town Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the greatest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damages arising from use of the site, including reliance on information supplied here or by a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your site use or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Connecticut law governs these terms. A dispute related to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Connecticut.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected term will be modified only as far as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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