Nature of Service

SearchSystems.net is a public records directory and search guide. We provide curated links to official government databases and expert guidance on how to search them. We do not host, store, maintain, or control the data in any government database linked from our site.

FCRA Disclaimer

SearchSystems.net is not a Consumer Reporting Agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. The information available through our directory and our Premium Criminal Search service is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute a "consumer report."

You may not use information obtained through SearchSystems.net for:

Employment screening or hiring decisions
Tenant screening or housing decisions
Credit or insurance underwriting decisions
Eligibility for government benefits
Any other purpose requiring FCRA compliance

If you need a consumer report for any FCRA-regulated purpose, you must obtain it from a Consumer Reporting Agency that follows FCRA requirements.

Accuracy and Completeness

We make reasonable efforts to ensure our directory links are current and accurate. Government websites change frequently — URLs move, portals are redesigned, databases go offline. We do not guarantee that every link will be functional at all times. If you find a broken link, please report it.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of information obtained from government databases linked from our site.

Premium Criminal Search

Our Premium Criminal Search queries third-party databases and returns results for informational purposes only. It is not a consumer report and cannot be used for FCRA-regulated purposes. Results are provided as-is.

You may use SearchSystems.net for lawful purposes including personal research, journalistic inquiry, legal research, genealogy, academic study, and general informational purposes. You may not use our site for any purpose that violates applicable law, including stalking, harassment, discrimination, or any FCRA-regulated purpose without proper authorization.

This includes direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.
