Where do we get our information?
Every local, state, and federal government agency compiles records
that are available under various open record laws. With a few common
exceptions to protect personal privacy, any citizen can access any of
these records if they know where to look. SafeGuard Background
Screening simply compiles many of these records into searchable
databases to provide information needed to verify a person's identity
and credentials or a business's capabilities. All of the information
we provide is in full accordance with state and federal privacy laws
and our own industry-setting privacy protection policies.
About Sources
SafeGuard Background Screening distributes public-record and
non-public information obtained directly from government entities or
from reputable third parties who have compiled such information from
governmental entities. Since all of the information that SafeGuard
Background Screening provides comes from public records, we are not in
a position to correct alleged inaccuracies in the data.
Our commitment to furnish users with reasonably accurate reproduction of
information in public record information systems does not permit
alteration of the substantive content of public record information
products or services. However, when contacted by an individual
concerning an alleged inaccuracy about that individual, SafeGuard
Background Screening will inform the party who provided the
information.
