If you feel that Backgrounds USA is not abiding by its posted privacy policies, or if you have questions or concerns regarding this statement of our Privacy Policies, then you should first contact Customer Service by e-mail or phone on (800) 315-7678, or (303) 455-8855, if outside the US.

If you do not receive acknowledgment of your inquiry or your inquiry has not been satisfactorily addressed, then send us a letter with your concerns to the address listed on our Contact Us web page. Please note that we receive a very large volume of email transactions both from existing clients, and general inquiries regarding our services. We do our very best to reply in a timely fashion, but please be patient, as complex or unusual requests always take longer.

Information Collection and Use
Backgrounds USA obtains its information from the relevant state and county repositories, courts and record offices where records are stored. We do not sell any non-public information. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Backgrounds USA collects information from our users at several different points on our website and uses the information for internal marketing and administration purposes only. All users must have an appropriate use for the information and agree to abide by all local and federal laws regarding the purchase and dissemination of said information.

Our web page does not automatically collect specific information (i.e. e-mail addresses) about visitors. Aggregate and summary statistics are ONLY collected as a measure of our web site’s effectiveness.

In order to use this website, a user must first complete the online registration form. During registration a user is required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest.

Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
