The consumer is required to complete an Acknowledgement and Authorization Form consenting to the collection and use of consumer information and is informed in writing of the permissible purpose for which we and/or our client/the end user intends to use the consumer information.

Any information we gather on any consumer for purposes of us acting as a consumer reporting agency as defined under FCRA is provided only to the end user authorized by the consumer to receive the information.
Sharing of Consumer Information
We do not share, sell, or disclose consumer information we gather on any consumer for purposes of us acting as a consumer reporting agency as defined under FCRA with any third party other than the requesting end user, except as stated in this Consumer Information Privacy Policy. We may disclose consumer information: (i) to our corporate affiliates or service providers as necessary or appropriate to provide the product or service requested by the user; (ii) to the extent necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws or regulations, or if necessary to protect the rights, property or legal claims; or (iii) in the event of an actual or contemplated transaction where all or a portion of us or our assets are acquired by another company or divested.
