This privacy policy covers Trusted Employees’ practices, policies, and security measures regarding the receipt, storage, and use of “Personally Identifiable Information.” This policy also covers the receipt of certain information through Trusted Employees’ website (“Website”) and otherwise.

All information collected by Trusted Employees will be collected, stored, and used in compliance with applicable laws, including the FCRA.

Personally Identifiable Information Collected

Trusted Employees will only collect “Personally Identifiable Information” about you if you voluntarily choose to provide such information to Trusted Employees and/or in connection with a background check authorized by you. “Personally Identifiable Information” that Trusted Employees may collect about you through our Website or otherwise may include, but is not limited to: name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, birthplace, driver’s license number, social security number, employer, employment details, domain name, and information regarding prior criminal proceedings, civil proceedings or credit activities.

With Whom Trusted Employees Shares Personally Identifiable Information

Trusted Employees will not disclose your “Personally Identifiable Information” to a third party, except in accordance with applicable laws.

Typically, Trusted Employees will only disclose “Personally Identifiable Information” regarding the subject of a background check to a third-party in the following situations:

– To an employer or prospective employer which has been authorized in writing by the consumer to receive information about him or her for employment purposes.
– To an end-user for another purpose authorized in writing by the consumer to receive information about him or her.
– As otherwise required by law.

End-users, such as employers or property management companies, may only obtain information from Trusted Employees after they have certified a legal permissible purpose for receiving such information.

Where Trusted Employees transfers “Personally Identifiable Information” to a representative or third-party subcontractor assisting with a background check, Trusted Employees provides only the information required to assist with the background check. Trusted Employees prohibits such third-party representatives and subcontractors from using consumer information for any purpose other than assisting Trusted Employees with the background check. Trusted Employees also requires such third-party representatives and subcontractors to maintain commercially-reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of consumer information they receive.

If Trusted Employees or its assets are acquired by another company, that company will assume responsibility for the “Personally Identifiable Information” collected by Trusted Employees through the Website and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding the collection and use of such information, as described in this Privacy Policy. Trusted Employees will not permit another business in such a circumstance to review or examine the information Trusted Employees has collected without a confidentiality agreement in place and only to the extent allowed by law.
