Privacy Statement

At VolunteerCheck.com, a subsidiary of Employment Background Investigations, Inc. (EBI), we understand and respect your concern about the privacy of any information you supply while at our site. We believe that knowledge is the key to monitoring and protecting how your information is used on the Internet. This statement sets forth EBI' Privacy Policy and describes the practices EBI follows with respect to all visitors to this site.

Children
Children (persons under the age of 18) are not eligible to use this site unsupervised and we ask that children do not register or submit any personal information to us. By using this site unsupervised, and/or registering for an account, you warrant that you are 18 years of age or older.

Personal Information
EBI collects certain personal information from users of this site. Guests are required to provide certain personal information in order to process a background screen, and authorized users must provide certain contact and account information in order to access and download information. EBI may use certain account information of authorized users to set up accounts and inquiries concerning background screening. EBI uses this information for internal purposes (to process your request and any invoices, or to maintain or update your EBI account). EBI does not sell or rent information about its customers to third parties. EBI may share contact information with its partners or affiliates to enable them to conduct background screening. Your profile information (such as social security numbers and/or date of birth) in the request form is used by EBI for further verification of persons being screened and will be kept confidential and will not be shared with any other party outside of the screening process.

Security
EBI has a number of operational functions in place, including 128-bit encryption, to protect the confidentiality of personal information. However, perfect security on the Internet does not exist, and EBI does not warrant that its site is impenetrable or invulnerable to hackers.
