This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Nothing on the service, including material returned by a linked search tool, is a consumer report. It may not be used to assess eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.


4. External Resources

Government portals, archives, and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control their content, availability, charges, data handling, or search results.

We may suspend, block, or limit access for a user who violates these terms or misuses the service. We may do so at our discretion and without prior notice.

New York law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Public-record access in New York is generally addressed by the Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6 §§84–90.
