PRIVACY POLICY
Consumer Information Privacy Policy
ApplicantSafe/TenantSafe is a consumer reporting agency. It is required by the Fair
Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. (“FCRA”) to maintain the confidentiality of
all consumer information.
ApplicantSafe/TenantSafe obtains information on an individual consumer only upon the
request of a user who has a permissible purpose under the FCRA to request information
on that consumer in order to provide consumer reports. The FCRA requires a user for
employment purposes to certify to us that it has a permissible purpose for the report
and has obtained the written consent of the consumer to request information before
we can supply the requested information.1 The user must submit to reasonable audits
by us to confirm that it is, in fact, obtaining such consents. All users must certify that
they have a permissible purpose to request a report such as credit, insurance, and
renting an apartment. Our customers agree to keep your information confidential and
secure.
ApplicantSafe/TenantSafe does not maintain a database of consumer
information.
Personal Information Disclosure, United States or overseas. We do not send
consumer information outside of the United States or its territories for any purpose
other than to deliver a report to an end user. Of course, if information is sought
from outside of the United States, the information is gathered in that country and
then transmitted to us here in the United States where it is treated as any other
consumer information.
Any information gathered on any consumer may only be provided to the user
authorized by the consumer or permitted by the FCRA or similar state law to receive the
information. We cannot and do not share, sell or distribute consumer information with
or to any third party other than the requesting party thereof. Any consumer, upon
proper identification, has the right under the FCRA to request us to furnish to the
consumer any and all information we may have on that consumer. The consumer has
the right to dispute the accuracy or completeness of any information contained in the
consumer’s file.
However, we may be required, upon receipt of a court order to release the information
in civil litigation, or as otherwise required by law, to disclose information regarding a
consumer to law enforcement agencies.
