We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to provide services to our Clients, and to comply with federal and state record-keeping requirements under the FCRA.

5. Your Rights Under the FCRA

• Request your file: You may request a free copy of the background screening report we compiled about you.
• Dispute inaccuracies: If you believe information in your report is incomplete or inaccurate, you have the right to file a dispute. We will conduct a free reinvestigation within 30 days.

6. State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional privacy rights. However, please note that personal information collected, processed, sold, or disclosed pursuant to the FCRA is largely exempt from the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar state privacy laws. For data collected outside the scope of the FCRA, residents have the right to request access to their data and request deletion.
