The following words and terms, when used in this chapter, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

"Criminal history record information" means records and data collected by criminal justice agencies on adult individuals consisting of identifiable descriptions and notations of arrests*, detentions, indictments, informations, or other formal charges and any disposition arising therefrom.
