What Does Connected Analytic Services Look for When Conducting Background Checks?
While CAS primarily focuses on vehicle-related data, background check companies in general may collect a variety of information, including:
- Verification Information: Credit history, employment, salary, education, and professional license verification.
- Driving Records: Information about your driving history.
- Drug and Alcohol Testing: Results from substance testing and health screenings.
It’s important to note that employment screening companies typically won’t have information on you unless you’ve authorized an employer or other end-user to obtain a report.
Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a federal law designed to protect the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in consumer reports. Under the FCRA, you have several rights:
- Right to Be Informed: You must be notified if information in your file has been used against you, such as a denial of employment or credit.
- Right to Access: You can request and obtain all information about you in the files of a consumer reporting agency.
- Right to Dispute: If you find inaccurate or incomplete information, you have the right to dispute it, and the agency must investigate unless your dispute is frivolous.
- Right to Corrected Information: Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information, usually within 30 days.
- Right to Limited Access: Your information can only be provided to those with a valid need, such as creditors, insurers, employers, landlords, or others specified under the FCRA.
For a comprehensive summary of your rights under the FCRA, you can refer to the official document provided by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
