This information may include, but is not limited to, full name, previous names used, Social Security Number or other overseas country national identity numbers, dates of birth, phone numbers, residential address, credit information, employment history, academic history, and criminal record history. In addition, it may occasionally be required by law to collect and use certain types of information of this kind to comply with the requirements of government departments for business data, for example. We provide employment screening services only to businesses with a permissible purpose. We release information via telephone, fax, mail and electronically, only to the individual(s) or business(s) that originally requested the service. Under no circumstances will personal information collected and maintained in our databases ever be sold or provided to an outside entity for any purpose.
