How We Use Your Personal Information
When your personal information is collected on National Background Solutons publicly

questions and inquiries, to support National Background Solutons own recruitment activities in
response to your inquiries into National Background Solutons job postings, and to provide

personal information over one of National Background Solutons websites in connection with a
background screen ordered by National Background Solutions client, National Background
Solutions may use your personal information to perform your background screen for that client.
National Background Solutions will not use your information to conduct a background screening
investigation and create a report unless National Background Solutions client has provided a
certification required by the FCRA and any other applicable law. In this certification, National
Background Solutions client certifies to National Background Solutions that it has a legally
permissible purpose for ordering the background screen, and that it has, to the extent required
by applicable law, obtained your informed consent to conduct the background screen.

Background Solutions may disclose personal information as necessary or appropriate in
connection with any of the purposes for which we use personal information as described above
in "How We Use Your Personal Information". When National Background Solutions conducts a
background screening investigation about you, National Background Solutions may disclose
information that you submit through the websites to the National Background Solutions client that
ordered a background screening investigation on you. National Background Solutions also may
disclose your information to certain third parties as necessary to conduct the background
investigation (such as educational institutions, prior employers, courts, law enforcement agencies
and other persons or entities that may provide or verify information about you), as well as to a
third-party representative or subcontractor authorized by National Background Solutions to assist
in the background screening investigation. These third party representatives and subcontractors
include service providers that help host or support the websites or otherwise provide technical
assistance, court researchers and other data and service vendors. National Background
Solutions transfers to these representatives and subcontractors only the personal information
they need to deliver to National Background Solutions (for the benefit of National Background
Solutions client) the requested product or service. National Background Solutions prohibits these
third parties from using that information for any other purpose. National Background Solutions
requires that these parties maintain commercially reasonable measures to protect the
confidentiality of your information. National Background Solutions also may in good faith disclose

Background Solutions will not permit another business to examine the information National
Background Solutions has collected without a confidentiality agreement and only to the extent
permitted by law. National Background Solutions will not transfer the information it has collected
unless the recipient agrees to provide privacy protections equal to or exceeding those
established by this Privacy Policy.
