3. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.). Nothing here, and nothing any linked search tool returns, is a consumer report, and none of it may be used to judge eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or any other FCRA-covered purpose.

Government portals, libraries, and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own policies and terms. We are not responsible for their content, availability, pricing, or data practices.
