is a service of Data Research Network, Inc., which has created
these statements and guidelines in order to demonstrate our
firm commitment to privacy. We support the policies and
protection guidelines developed by the National Association of
Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS). Data Research
Network, Inc. is committed to maintaining a high degree of
respect for the sensitive nature of the information provided.
Data Research Network, Inc. provides access only to legitimate
businesses and licensed business professionals who can
demonstrate an appropriate need for and permissible use of the
information.
All information contained in the Data
Research Network, Inc. database is obtained either directly
from government agencies, from third party businesses who have
obtained public record or publicly available information from
its sources, or from credit bureaus. Information is obtained
from various governmental agencies that provide information

Network, Inc. provides non-public credit header information on
adult individuals obtained from the TransUnion™ credit

The following discloses our information
gathering and dissemination practices for Data Research
Network, Inc. web properties, including our corporate and
branded sites. This site may contain links to other sites, and
we take great care in selecting those links.
However, Data Research Network, Inc. is not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of other web sites.
We strongly encourage you to look for and review the privacy
policies of every web site you visit.
General Statistics & Web
Site Measurements:
- We
collect aggregate information site-wide, including anonymous
site statistics. We also log domain names and/or IP
addresses. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems
with our server, and to administer our web site as well as
improve the site-wide experience for you and other users. We
also link IP addresses to personally identifiable
information within our eCommerce site in order to ensure the
security of our service for all users. In these cases, the
IP address and personally identifiable information becomes
part of an audit trail that we may use to identify the
source of a specific transaction.
- We
identify and track the single, previous Web site address
that visitors come from when accessing our site. This is
standard practice throughout the Internet, and it is used to
determine how visitors navigate to our sites. We do not,
however, attach this information to anything that is
personally identifiable. In other words, while we may track
what site you came from, we do not directly connect that
information with anything that identifies you.
- When
a visitor registers, "logs in," or accesses parts of our
site that require the use of data like user names and
passwords, we may store a cookie, a small piece of
information, on that visitor's computer.
If used,
this small file helps to improve the user's experience by
allowing us to customize or tailor the web pages that the
visitor sees and uses for their specific needs. For example,
we may use a cookie to allow a user to by-pass having to
enter their user name every time they login. For frequent
visitors, this type of functionality and personalization can
greatly improve their experience. These cookies DO NOT
contain confidential or personal information. While we may
use cookies to help us understand and improve the navigation
of our site, we DO NOT use cookies to personally identify
and track the navigation of any specific visitor.
We
do not resell, compile, distribute, or disclose any of the
above information to third parties.
Registration
& Personally Identifiable Information:
- On
certain pages, we may give users the option of providing us
with names, addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, E-mail
addresses, demographic data, preference information, and
various other kinds of details. This more personal
information is not gathered by us without the users’
knowledge, active permission and
participation.
In other words, you must
voluntarily supply this information. On the Internet, this
voluntary submission of personally identifiable information
is commonly referred to as "Opting In."
In some
cases we may use the information to tailor our users web
experience, generate anonymous statistics, or to contact
users via E-mail, postal mail, telephone, or fax (e.g. to
send newsletters, action alerts, product updates, etc.)
Users may choose opt out at any time; see the cancel
subscription section below.
- For
security purposes, the eCommerce capability of our site
requires users to give us unique identifiers (like social
security number and other password-type data). Unique
identifiers are collected to verify the user's identity and
ensure security for all users of the site.
WE
DO NOT RESELL, COMPILE, DISTRIBUTE, OR DISCLOSE ANY OF THE
DATA THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IN THE PRECEDING SECTION
(REGISTRATION & PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION) TO
THIRD PARTIES.
Security
& Protection of Your Data:
- This
site has security measures in place to protect the loss,
misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
Portions of our site make extensive use of Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, the Internet's leading
encryption standard, as well as password-like identifying
information. SSL is used to encrypt the information
being sent between a visitors computer and our web site.
Encryption is a process in which the information
being transmitted between two parties is "scrambled" in
transit. SSL encryption creates a secure link between two
computers by establishing a process in which each computer
can unscramble (unencrypted) the other's information.
Because we take the protection of your data very
seriously, you may be asked to "upgrade" your Internet
browser to a more recent version if it does not currently
support the high levels of SSL encryption that portions of
our web site require.
- Your
browser should indicate whether or not it is operating in a
secure site. Most browsers will display an alert box
advising you that you are requesting pages from a secure
site, and they will ask your permission to continue. Most
browsers will also alert you when you are leaving a secure
site, and again, ask you permission to continue. However,
this alert feature can be turned off within the browser's
preferences. If you have doubts about whether or not you are
on a secured web page, contact the web site's operator to
clarify your questions, and DO NOT transmit sensitive
information like credit card numbers until you are confident
of the page's security.
- In
addition, we take great care to safeguard all information
that is transmitted to us and stored by us on our computers,
servers, and databases. This protection includes the use of
network intrusion prevention and detection technology as
well as other industry accepted security practices. We
protect the physical location of our systems through the use
of access control and monitoring technologies. We take
extensive measures to limit the risk of damage or loss of
any data due to hazards like fire, water damage, power loss,
etc.
- Data
Research Network, Inc. cannot modify information obtained
from the credit bureau. If any information obtained from a
credit header is deemed to be inaccurate, the consumer may
contact the individual credit bureau to correct the
information. The credit bureau may be contacted at the
following addresses: Experian™ at: 888-397-3742
- Data
Research Network, Inc. does not change or modify information
obtained from public records, since this would violate the
integrity of the public record database.
- Should
an individual communicate the existence of an inaccurate
Data Research Network, Inc. record or report, Data Research
Network, Inc. will refer that individual to the proper
public record or credit bureau
- Data
Research Network, Inc. is committed to providing information
that accurately represents the public record from which it
is obtained, and to complying with all applicable laws.
