Privacy Policy
KENTECH Consulting is committed to protecting your privacy. The information gathered on
this website is used strictly for verification and contact purposes and
is not shared without the expressed consent of the individual.
Personal Information We Collect: How It Is Gathered and Used
We
collect only the personal information you voluntarily provide to us by
completing a registration form. We do not collect information through
any non-obvious means, such as “cookies” (a piece of text that a Web
server can store on a user’s hard disk to later retrieve). The
information we collect is not used for any purposes beyond the
permissible purposes outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15
U.S.C.A. § 1681), section 1681(b).
We use the “Contact
Information” (name, address, phone number, and email address) from the
registration form completed by the student to contact him or her during
the course of a background check if needed. The “Personal
Identification Information” (such as name, date of birth, race, gender,
and Social Security number) collected during registration is used to
conduct identity verification and to complete the background check.
Neither the Contact Information nor the Personal Identification
Information is released to any parties without express consent from you.
We
collect relevant “Background Information” which may include (employment
history, educational history, licenses, previous addresses and/or
reference name(s)) on the “Order Form” (the form completed to initiate
the background check process after you register). KENTECH only
shares the Background Information with clients,
which uses the information for determining whether a applicant's tenancy or other workplace facility purposes, as authorized
by 15 U.S.C.A. § 1681(b).
Consent to Release Personal Identification Information
During
the registration process, you will be asked to provide consent to
release your Personal Identification Information for the purposes of
completing the background check. By consenting, you acknowledge that
CollegeScreen may communicate the Personal Identification Information
to our affiliates and partners to complete checks regarding your
criminal history, social security verification and/or a drug test. By
providing your consent, you also acknowledge that CollegeScreen has
provided you with an opportunity to “opt out” (i.e., to direct that the
information not be communicated), and that you have not opted out.
Personal Information We Do Not Share
CollegeScreen
does not rent or sell its email address lists. We do not share your
“Billing Information” (telephone number and credit card information).
Billing Information is used for billing purposes only.
Protecting Your Personal Information
CollegeScreen
has implemented a variety of encryptions and security technologies and
procedures to protect information stored in our computer systems from
unauthorized access.
