Privacy Policy

As a consumer reporting agency governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and other applicable state and federal laws, Rental History Reports is committed to protecting your right to privacy.

This privacy policy covers Rental History Reports’ practices, policies, and security measures regarding the receipt, storage, and use of “Personally Identifiable Information.” This policy also covers the receipt of certain information through Rental History Reports’ website (“Website”) and otherwise.

All information collected by Rental History Reports will be collected, stored, and used in compliance with applicable laws, including the FCRA.

Personally Identifiable Information Collected

Rental History Reports will only collect “Personally Identifiable Information” about you if you voluntarily choose to provide such information to Rental History Reports and/or in connection with a background check authorized by you. “Personally Identifiable Information” that Rental History Reports may collect about you through our Website or otherwise may include, but is not limited to: name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, birthplace, driver’s license number, social security number, employer, employment details, domain name, and information regarding prior criminal proceedings, civil proceedings or credit activities.

With Whom Rental History Reports Shares Personally Identifiable Information

Rental History Reports will not disclose your “Personally Identifiable Information” to a third party, except in accordance with applicable laws.

Typically, Rental History Reports will only disclose “Personally Identifiable Information” regarding the subject of a background check to a third-party in the following situations:

– To an employer or prospective employer which has been authorized in writing by the consumer to receive information about him or her for employment purposes.
– To an end-user for another purpose authorized in writing by the consumer to receive information about him or her.
– As otherwise required by law.

End-users, such as employers or property management companies, may only obtain information from Rental History Reports after they have certified a legal permissible purpose for receiving such information.

Where Rental History Reports transfers “Personally Identifiable Information” to a representative or third-party subcontractor assisting with a background check, Rental History Reports provides only the information required to assist with the background check. Rental History Reports prohibits such third-party representatives and subcontractors from using consumer information for any purpose other than assisting Rental History Reports with the background check. Rental History Reports also requires such third-party representatives and subcontractors to maintain commercially-reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of consumer information they receive.

If Rental History Reports or its assets are acquired by another company, that company will assume responsibility for the “Personally Identifiable Information” collected by Rental History Reports through the Website and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding the collection and use of such information, as described in this Privacy Policy. Rental History Reports will not permit another business in such a circumstance to review or examine the information Rental History Reports has collected without a confidentiality agreement in place and only to the extent allowed by law.

Rental History Reports does not resell to third-parties any data provided to us for marketing purposes under any circumstances.
