Background Check Disclosure & Authorization
Last updated: July 2026
Before we run any background check, federal law requires us to disclose that clearly and get your written permission. This page is that disclosure.
Draft for legal review — compliance note, not just wording. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the disclosure below must appear in a standalone document consisting solely of the disclosure. It legally cannot be combined with the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or any liability waiver on the same page or form. The box below is drafted to stand alone for that reason; keep it that way when this goes live. State-specific addenda are stubbed below and need counsel to confirm which apply to where you operate.
Standalone disclosure — no other content on this form
