The release of a candidate's personal information is provided to our suppliers only when it is necessary. We do use outside agencies to run our criminal, credit and driver record check and only provide the suppliers the necessary information. We only send the results of our checks to the person who requested the work in the manner that they ask us to.
Britton Management Profiles Inc. will retain all documentation and personal data for each request we perform for four years. The actual written report with our findings will be kept for a total of ten years. This allows us the opportunity to see if a candidate has previously applied to our client. After that time all documents are shredded and disposed of in a confidential manner.
Once a file is closed, it can only be accessed by designated personnel. If a staff has to take information off the company premises they are only allowed to take copies and it must be documented in the head office the information has been removed. No personal data is allowed to be taken home, that is always kept in the head office that is secured by a security system. All staff are required to sign a confidentiality agreement.
All information we collect on behalf of a client becomes their property and candidates can gain access to the results from the client.
