Criminal Database Searches* (Non-FCRA)

SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY
NATIONAL WANTS AND WARRANTS
INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST WATCH
*A note about database searches:
The National Criminal File (NCF), National Wants and Warrants, Sex Offender Registry and Terrorist WATCH are compiled from multiple public record data sources. Pinpoint AmericaTM Inc. makes no claims to the completeness of this data or that data from all states or jurisdictions is included. Records contained in reports compiled from these databases may not contain complete or accurate or the most current or sufficient identifying information to be considered reliable and should not be used to recommend or not recommend any individual for employment.
Reports from these types of searches are NOT FCRA COMPLIANT and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued an opinion letter specifically on the use of criminal databases and has taken the position that database searches do not comply with FCRA but could be used as a pre-screening tool to "generate leads," and should be used for that purpose only and that using information of this type for employment purposes violates Section 613(a)(2) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
