NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, state, or federal government agency. Neither the website nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or any other decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The content helps readers find criminal-record resources in Kershaw County and South Carolina. We are neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation business.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference website that operates independently of government. It does not store official records and cannot retrieve a file, perform an official check, or submit documents for a visitor.
Its role is to identify the Kershaw County sheriff, criminal courts, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and South Carolina Sex Offender Registry as appropriate custodians, while also providing access to third-party research tools. Official public-record access is governed separately by the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act, Title 30, Chapter 4, and repository dissemination by S.C. Code Section 23-3-120.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the website, you agree not to:
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated methods against these pages
- Violate any local, state, or federal law
- Harass, stalk, threaten, or intimidate another person with information found here
- Use the content for employment, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or information
- Disrupt the website or interfere with another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this website or a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also be criminal. South Carolina law gives special protection against misuse of South Carolina Sex Offender Registry data. The registry exists for community safety awareness, not vigilantism, employment exclusion, or housing discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce consumer reports, credit files, or background checks. Our advertising partners and this website do not provide services for reviewing applicants, setting insurance rates, assessing credit, or screening renters. You may not use information from these pages or linked tools to:
- Set insurance premiums or assess creditworthiness
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
- Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or public program
- Carry out any other activity governed by the FCRA
A regulated background check must come from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division where appropriate or from a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
The website does not provide legal advice. General information about Kershaw County records cannot determine how an expungement rule, warrant, conviction, or charge applies to a particular matter. Seek advice from a licensed South Carolina attorney.
6. No Warranties
All content is supplied "as is," without a guarantee that:
- A partner search result is complete or correct
- Every page is free of mistakes, bugs, or security weaknesses
- The website will remain available without interruption
- Information is complete, accurate, or current at a particular time
Criminal records change as charges are filed, resolved, sealed, or expunged. Gaps and delays can occur despite reasonable efforts to maintain current information. No website content is an official statement by a court, sheriff, or other government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to court systems, sheriff pages, government agencies, legal-aid organizations, and outside search services. We do not control those destinations and are not responsible for their availability, content, prices, or data practices. Review the destination's terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Kershaw County Criminal History or its content partners own the text, code, graphics, and logos on this website. Written permission is required before copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative work from that material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages caused by use of the website, including reliance on content from these pages or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal actions arising from your use of the website or a violation of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.
11. Governing Law
South Carolina law governs these terms. A dispute related to website use must be filed in a court located in South Carolina.

We may revise these terms at any time. A new version becomes effective when posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, without prior notice.
