Information Collected

On the MyBackgroundCheck website, you can order our background screening services. The types of personal information collected during our registration process includes, but is not limited to, applicant's name, contact and billing information, transaction, and credit card information, and information on applicants for the purpose of performing a background check. MyBackgroundCheck will use the consumer information provided by our authorized customers to perform background checks and prepare a report based on criminal history checks, motor vehicle checks, education and employment history checks, credit checks and other types of background screening. (These reports are referred to by several different names including: Background Report, Consumer Report, Investigative Consumer Report, Background Screening Report, Background Check, and others.) MyBackgroundCheck's corporate policy dictates that we closely monitor and guard the distribution of private consumer data. We may send private consumer data to an authorized third party as needed to help us complete one of the services mentioned above. When we send private data over the Internet it is always encrypted with 128/256 bit encryption, so that, if data is intercepted, it will remain secure. Under no circumstances will the personal information collected and maintained in our databases ever be sold, and, except as stated in this policy it is not provided to an outside entity for any purpose.
