Privacy Policy

Blueline Services is a Consumer Reporting Agency. It is required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq. (“FCRA”) and other applicable state laws to maintain the confidentiality of all consumer information.

Blueline Services obtains information on an individual consumer only upon the request of a user who has a permissible purpose under the FCRA to request information on that consumer in order to provide consumer reports. The FCRA requires a user for employment purposes to certify to us that it has a permissible purpose for the report and has obtained the written consent of the consumer to request information before we can supply the requested information. All users must certify that they have a permissible purpose to request a report such as credit, insurance, or renting an apartment. Our customers agree to keep consumer information confidential and secure.

Blueline Services does not maintain a database of consumer information.

Personal Information Disclosure, United States or overseas:
We do not send consumer information outside of the United States or its territories for any purpose other than to deliver a report to an end user. Of course, if information is sought from outside of the United States, the information is gathered in that country and then transmitted to us here in the United States where it is treated as any other consumer information.

Any information gathered on any consumer may only be provided to the user authorized by the consumer or permitted by the FCRA or similar state law to receive the information. Record information is kept confidential by ensuring that users have restricted access to only the reports they are permitted to see, and all submitted reports are tracked by user login. Blueline Services cannot and does not share, sell, or distribute consumer information with or to any third party other than the requesting party thereof. Any consumer, upon proper identification, has the right under the FCRA to request us to furnish to the consumer any and all information we may have on that consumer. The consumer has the right to dispute the accuracy or completeness of any information contained in the consumer’s file.

However, we may be required, upon receipt of a court order to release the information in civil litigation, or as otherwise required by law, to disclose information regarding a consumer to law enforcement agencies.
