Compliance Issues

Compliance issues can generally be defined as falling under the rights of citizens to be free from invasive searches and inquiries; and the protection of their important data, employee’s or job applicant’s rights, the needs of lawyers to obtain data regarding litigants and others, the needs of investment professionals to know more about investors and others, and the needs of business owners to protect their assets. Further, there are a host of data protection issues which we monitor closely, including those relating to HIPAA, Gramm-Leach Bliley, and other laws.

KlinkCheck™ is designed to provide information to the business community.  We provide solutions for HR Professionals, Attorneys, Business Owners and other professionals seeking data. We do not provide data without requiring users to certify that our reports are going to be used in a permissible way.

KlinkCheck™ takes data protection seriously and welcomes input regarding protecting the valuable rights we all enjoy as citizens. We reserve the right to deny an investigative report for any reason to any user. Receiving a password or user identification number from KlinkCheck™ does not in any way guarantee a user the right to obtain a KlinkCheck™ report. If you believe that our reports are being used in an improper way, please contact us immediately in the U.S. at 1-800-836-8916 or 412-201-9123 outside of the United States.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act, “FCRA”, 15 U.S.C., Section 1681 et seq, under the auspices of the Federal Trade Commission, primarily governs the production of information regarding potential or current employees, defined within the FCRA as a “consumer report” for employment purposes. For prospective or current employees, a consumer report is defined as any report made by a third party not the employer, that informs upon the character or background of a job applicant or an employee.  For Human Resources Professionals, Business Owners and others requesting KlinkCheck™ reports for employment purposes, please be advised that a Fair Credit Reporting Act waiver must be executed by the subject of the investigation prior to KlinkCheck™ producing a background report. 

Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor List, KlinkCheck™ has joined the U.S. Department of Commerce’s “Safe Harbor” program with respect to personal information collected from consumers who reside in the European Union.  Additional information related to the Safe Harbor program can be found by visiting the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Safe Harbor Website at http://export.gov/safeharbor.

Users of KlinkCheck™ agree and certify that they will not request a report for employment purposes unless:

  • A clear and conspicuous written disclosure is first made in writing, in a separate document, to the consumer (employee or job applicant), that the report may be issued for employment purposes.
  • The consumer has authorized in writing the creation and issuance of the report.
  • In the event that a KlinkCheck™ customer uses information in a report, in whole or in part, and decides to take any adverse action against a consumer, the consumer will be provided with a copy of the report, and a document reviewing all rights possessed by the consumer, as well as in the event of a notice to take adverse action, the KlinkCheck™ customer will provide the consumer with detailed information regarding the report, and how to contact KlinkCheck™ at our Pittsburgh offices at 1-800-836-8916 or 412-201-9123, Three Gateway Center, 2nd Floor South, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, United States.
