Neither material on the service nor results supplied by a linked tool are consumer reports. They may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.
4. External Services
Official portals, libraries, and third-party services linked from the service have independent terms, privacy notices, availability, charges, and data practices. Delaware County Residents Directory does not control those outside services and is not responsible for their content, output, availability, or pricing.
5. Availability and Warranties
The service is offered on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

Confirm a record with the custodian that holds it.
