We collect information about users who create accounts with us:

Collection When We Provide Services to Our Business Customers
We may need to collect personal information from you in order to provide Services to our business customers, which may include employers and other companies or organizations that purchase our Services. For example, if you are the subject of a background check, or if a business customer requests that you verify your identity with us, we may collect some identifying information about you to provide the Services to our business customers.

Collection from Third Party Sources
If you authorize one of our business customers to run a background check on you, we’ll collect public records and other information from reliable third-party sources to assemble the report. We may also verify your information against authoritative government databases or information providers.

CALIFORNIA’S ‘DO NOT TRACK’ LAW

While you may manage cookie preferences using your browser settings, this website does not currently respond to browser settings such as Do Not Track. 

CALIFORNIA PERSONAL INFORMATION DISCLOSURE: UNITED STATES OR OVERSEAS

We do not transfer personal information to third parties outside of the United States or its territories during the preparation or processing of consumer reports, except to the extent that queries for public records are submitted to non-US government agencies and data providers. 

CALIFORNIA INFORMATION-SHARING DISCLOSURE

We do not share your personal information with third parties for direct marketing purposes. 

CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT

California residents, as defined in the California Code of Regulations, have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). The vast majority of personal information collected and stored by OneSource is exempt from the CCPA under Section 1798.145(d) (Fair Credit Reporting Act exemption) or under Section 1798.145(l)(1) (which exempts personal information collected in the context of a business to business transaction). Additionally, for much of OneSource’s non-FCRA Services, OneSource acts as a service provider rather than a business as defined by the CCPA. Nonetheless, OneSource may be considered a business subject to the CCPA in regards to a small percentage of the personal information that OneSource collects. In the following paragraphs, we describe this information and outline the legal rights of California residents.

OneSource does not and will not “sell” personal information as this term is defined by the CCPA, including information collected from minors under 16 years of age. 

CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT/DISCLOSE FOR A BUSINESS PURPOSE:

1. Personal identifiers such as your name, postal address, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and/or email address. This information is collected directly from you or your device (IP address only) when you interact with OneSource, such as when you create an account or when you visit our website. This information may be collected in order to create your account and/or to identify you as a unique visitor to our website. This information may be disclosed to our payment processors and fraud detection vendors.


2. Categories of personal information described in California Civil Code Section 1798.80(e). This may include but is not limited to your address, telephone number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information. This information is collected directly from you when you make a purchase on one of OneSource’s Services. This information is collected in order to process your purchase. This information may be disclosed to our payment processors and fraud detection vendors.


3. Commercial information, including records of products or services purchased. This information is collected directly from you when you make a purchase on one of OneSource’s Services. This information is collected in order to facilitate your transaction and for our internal business purposes, such as financial record-keeping. This information is not sold or disclosed for a business purpose.


4. Biometric Information. As defined by the CCPA, “biometric information” may include voice recordings. If you speak with a representative of OneSource over the phone, your call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes. OneSource will inform you that the call will be recorded. OneSource does not collect any other biometric information. This information is not sold or disclosed for a business purpose. 

YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT:
PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY BACKGROUND CHECK DATA REGULATED BY THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT IS EXEMPT FROM CCPA DATA RIGHTS REQUESTS.

You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you, where we are acting as a business as defined by the CCPA and where the data collected is not otherwise exempt.
You have the right to request that we delete any personal information about you that we have collected, where we are acting as a business as defined by the CCPA and where the data collected is not otherwise exempt. Please note that the right to delete under the CCPA is subject to a number of exceptions including where retention of the information is necessary to do the following:

You have the right to request that we disclose the following:

OneSource will not discriminate against you because of your decision to exercise your rights under the CCPA. OneSource will not deny you services, charge you different prices, provide a different level or quality of services, or suggest that you will receive a different price, level, or quality of services as a result of your decision to exercise your rights.

To exercise your rights under the CCPA or to contact us about our privacy policy, send us an email at Info@OneSource.com. You will need to provide basic personal information, such as your name, email address, and phone number, so that OneSource may locate your information within our systems. In order to verify your identity, OneSource requires that you submit a copy of your California driver’s license or identification card along with your request. This information will only be used to verify your identity and will not be shared with third parties. If your identity cannot be verified, requests may be denied. If you request to delete your personal information, you will be required to confirm this request a second time before the information can be deleted. In accordance with California law, you may allow an authorized agent to make a request for information on your behalf. In order to designate an authorized agent, you must provide a valid power of attorney, a copy of the requester’s valid government-issued identification, and a copy of the authorized agent’s valid government-issued identification. 

NEVADA RESIDENT RIGHTS

We do not sell your covered information, as defined by Section 1.6 of Chapter 603A of the Nevada Revised Statutes. If you reside in Nevada, you may submit a request to Info@OneSource.com in regards to the sale of covered information. 

CHILDREN’S INFORMATION

Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 15. If we discover that we have collected personal information on a child under the age of 15 via the Services, we will promptly remove it from our systems. 

OUR PRIVACY COMMITMENT TO INDIVIDUALS IN THE EU, THE UNITED KINGDOM, OR SWITZERLAND

If your personal information is transferred outside the EU, UK, or Switzerland to OneSource or third-party service providers, we will take steps to ensure your personal information receives the same level of protection as if it remained within the EU, UK, or Switzerland. The European Commission has approved the use of standard contractual clauses as a means of ensuring adequate protection when transferring data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). By incorporating standard contractual clauses into a contract established between the parties transferring data, personal data is considered protected when transferred outside the EEA or the UK to countries which are not covered by an adequacy decision. We rely on these standard contractual clauses for data transfers.

While we no longer rely on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield as a legal basis to transfer data that originated in the EEA or the UK to the U.S., as a responsible steward of information, OneSource still complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to the United States, respectively. OneSource has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

In compliance with the US-EU and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Principles, OneSource commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information. European Union, United Kingdom, or Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding this privacy policy should first contact OneSource at:

OneSource, Inc
Attn: Compliance             
3052 Valley Ave., Suite 201
Winchester, VA 22601
Info@OneSourceScreening.com

OneSource has further committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Principles to an independent dispute resolution mechanism, the BBB EU PRIVACY SHIELD, operated by the Council of Better Business Bureaus. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint, or if your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, please visit www.bbb.org/EU-privacy-shield/for-eu-consumers/ for more information and to file a complaint.

Under certain limited conditions, individuals may invoke binding arbitration before the Privacy Shield Panel, to be created by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes applicable law. 

Onward Transfer of Data

In cases of onward transfer to third parties of data of EU, United Kingdom, or Swiss individuals received pursuant to the EU­-US Privacy Shield or Swiss-US Privacy Shield, OneSource is potentially liable.
OneSource is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
