NO FCRA USE. Union County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation firm. The website and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify criminal-record resources in Union County, South Carolina.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site operates independently of every government office. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve a file, perform an official check, or submit paperwork for a visitor.
The content identifies custodians such as Union County courts, the sheriff, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and the South Carolina Sex Offender Registry Tool. Some pages also connect visitors with outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the website is conditioned on the following limits. A visitor must not:
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
- Disrupt access, overload pages, or interfere with another visitor
- Use information to threaten, stalk, or harass a person
- Use content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
- Violate federal, South Carolina, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No information obtained here or through a linked tool may be used to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or unlawfully discriminate. South Carolina Sex Offender Registry Tool information carries added safeguards: S.C. Code § 23-3-510 enhances penalties when registry data is used to commit a crime. Registry access supports public safety, not vigilante conduct or prohibited discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Union County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Neither the website nor its advertising partners create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks for a regulated decision. Data from this website or any linked tool must 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 regulated check must come from an authorized official channel or a provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Union County charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule affects a particular person. Seek a licensed South Carolina attorney for that analysis.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are provided "as is." No promise 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 and records can be filed, changed, dismissed, restricted, or expunged. Updates and reporting gaps are unavoidable. No content here is an official statement by a sheriff, court, or government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to courts, sheriffs, state agencies, legal organizations, or outside search providers. Those destinations control their own content, fees, privacy practices, and availability. Their terms should be reviewed before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Union County 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 fullest extent allowed by law, Union County Criminal History is not liable for damages arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, and legal actions caused by that visitor's use or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.

12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised. A new version takes effect when it is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be suspended or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected provision will be limited only as far as needed to make it enforceable.
