All our processes, products, programs and solutions meet the federal legislative standards set by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Fair Housing Act, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). These standards set the parameters for background checking, by defining a range of information access in relation to a range of potential fact situations.

All our screening solutions are rigorously researched, and ensure your up-to-date compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations. Background screening is a blanket term that properly refers to a range of circumstances and procedures.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer any personally identifiable information that is shared with us. The definition of confidentiality is that it goes without saying.
