privacy policy
Ensuring the security, integrity and availability of confidential business data and personal identifying information is a primary focus in our applicant screening system. Delivering a robust and secure system requires a comprehensive technology solution, including hardware, software and security best practices.
Hardware: Granite Screening uses redundant systems and backups for all sensitive data and information, as well as employing firewalls and advanced intrusion detection.
Software: Access to our enterprise grade application framework is password-controlled at an individual level, and access to the system can be limited to specific devices, IP addresses or a range of IP addresses. This allows tight control to ensure that individuals with access to the system are not able to access the system from unsecured locations. Our system utilizes high security protocols and encryption at a 128-bit SSL/TLS level. Logins to the system are logged and audited on a regular basis.
Security Best Practices: Cryptography, coding standards, and risk management are applied to eliminate unauthorized access to data. Granite Screening employs third party security certification, and provides staff training to enforce security oriented policies and procedures.
Our physical location is protected by keyed entry as well as an advanced security system when the office is closed. Access to our internal system is limited to personnel with a legitimate business need for access.
Granite Screening is committed to protecting the sensitive personal identifying information we receive from our customers. While we cannot guarantee the security of that information, we utilize a combination of online and offline security technologies, procedures and organizational measures to help safeguard consumer information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.
Granite Screening collects only information that the customer, user or web site visitor voluntarily shares with Granite Screening. Granite Screening discloses information only as pursuant to law and does not sell, rent or otherwise disclose user information to anyone without proper authorization and consent.
Granite Screening will collect, store, and use personally identifiable information only in compliance with applicable law, including the FCRA. Granite Screening will not conduct a background screening investigation and create a report unless Granite Screening's client certifies to Granite Screening that it has a legally permissible purpose for ordering the background check, and that it has, to the extent required by applicable law, obtained consent to conduct the background check.
If you are an applicant of a Granite Screening client, and have submitted personal information to Granite Screening at the request of such client for purposes of procuring a background report, then you can review your Granite Screening file in accordance with your file disclosure rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and California Civil Code Section 1786.22 by emailing your request to an account manager.
With regards to the acquisition of information outside of the United States, Granite Screening uses only reputable and well-known industry sources to procure and validate said information.
Granite Screening is strongly opposed to the offshoring of customer data and will never send applicant data outside the United States.
