3. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Oakton Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither the service nor a linked search result is a consumer report, and neither may be used to assess eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.
