Public Records and Privacy Considerations

Public records are documents or pieces of information that are not considered confidential and are generally accessible by the public. However, the existence of a public record does not mean that all information within that record is appropriate for all uses.

Users of MonroeRecords.us are reminded that:

  • Certain personal information found in public records may be protected under state or federal privacy laws
  • Using public records information to harass, discriminate against, or harm individuals may be illegal
  • Some records that were once publicly available may be sealed, expunged, or restricted by court order
  • The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and other federal laws impose restrictions on how certain public records information may be used for employment, housing, credit, or other consumer purposes

MonroeRecords.us does not condone the misuse of public records information and encourages all users to act responsibly and ethically when accessing and using such information.
