Terms & Conditions

Using Hillsborough County Recent Arrests means that you accept these Terms and Conditions. They govern access to the site, its written material, partner tools, and outbound links. If you do not agree with every term, discontinue use.

This privately owned site is not affiliated with HCSO, any jail, court, police agency, corrections department, or government body. Neither we nor our advertising partners offer FCRA-covered services for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. We are not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Website

This is a private reference site that stores no official Hillsborough County arrest, court, jail, or corrections record. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a document with HCSO or the Clerk.

The content points readers toward official resources such as HCSO Arrest Inquiry, Clerk HOVER, Florida Department of Corrections, VINELink, and federal locators. Some pages also connect visitors to independent research tools.


Acceptable Use Rules

You agree to use the site lawfully and responsibly. You must not:

  • Break any law while accessing or using the site
  • Use information to stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass another person
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content
  • Attempt access to accounts, servers, or data without authorization
  • Operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools against the site
  • Disrupt service or interfere with another visitor’s access

No Consumer Reports

Hillsborough County Recent Arrests is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It supplies no background check, credit report, or consumer report, and neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a screening service. You agree not to use any content or linked result for:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions
  • Tenant selection, housing, or lease decisions
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
  • Licenses, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other purpose governed by the FCRA

Third-Party Destinations

Links lead to jail rosters, booking systems, sheriff and corrections sites, courts, legal-aid resources, federal locators, and outside search providers. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control a destination’s content, privacy practices, prices, data handling, security, or availability. Review its terms before using it.


Service Provided As Is

The website and all content are supplied “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty that:

  • Information is accurate, complete, or current
  • Access will be continuous or uninterrupted
  • The service is free of errors, defects, or security weaknesses
  • A partner search will return every possible result

Custody and public-record information changes often. Nothing published here is an official statement by HCSO, a Florida agency, or any other government office.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its owners, operators, and partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access, use, inability to use, reliance on content, or use of a linked service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the site, its owners, operators, and partners from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the site or your breach of these terms.


Ownership of Site Content

Unless otherwise stated, text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Hillsborough County Recent Arrests or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, republish, modify, or create derivative works from that material without written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. Changes take effect when the updated version is posted on this page. Continued use after publication means acceptance of the revised terms.


Access May Be Revoked

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice, including when activity threatens the site or violates these terms.


Florida Law Controls

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, including applicable provisions of Florida Statutes Chapter 119 for records held by public agencies. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Florida.


Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only to the extent needed to make it enforceable.
