Background Screening Consultants LLC dba SafeScreener (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain information when you use safescreener.com and any pages that link to this Policy (the “Site”).
Important: This Policy covers our marketing website and contact forms only. It does not govern the background screening services we provide to our clients under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”).

Sources. We collect personal information:
Directly from you (e.g., when you complete “Contact Us,” “Send Me Pricing,” or other forms).
Automatically via cookies, pixels, and similar technologies when you browse the Site.
From service providers (e.g., website analytics, forms, marketing and email tools).

Business transfers (e.g., merger, acquisition, or asset sale).
Legal compliance and protection (e.g., to comply with law or protect rights, safety, and security).
We do not sell your personal information for money. Some advertising/analytics activities could be considered a “share” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under certain U.S. state privacy laws. You may exercise related opt-out rights as described below.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary based on the category of data and our business needs.
We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If personal information is transferred, processed, or stored outside your state or country, we take steps consistent with applicable law to ensure an adequate level of protection (e.g., contracts with service providers that include appropriate data protection terms).
The Site may link to third-party websites or services. This Policy does not apply to those properties. Please review their privacy policies.
