Part of the Authenticate Customer Agreement between Authenticating.com LLC and its customer (Customer Agreement, Section 1.2). Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Customer Agreement. Prior versions are archived on this page.
These Data Supplier Terms apply under Section 4.16 of the Customer Agreement and may be updated as provided in Section 1.3 of the Customer Agreement.
1. All Regulated Services. Customer will not disclose any result to anyone other than the End User who is its subject, except a disclosure required by law and permitted by Customer Agreement Section 4.9, and will not use any result to build, enhance or maintain any database (Section 4.4(4)). Data Suppliers may review and audit Customer's use of their information through Authenticating (Section 4.14).
2. Criminal, civil and court record searches. Results reflect the records available in the index or court searched for the jurisdiction and look-back period requested. Records that may not be reported under 15 U.S.C. § 1681c or applicable state law, and records known to be sealed, expunged or juvenile, are not reported. Each name variant or alias is a separate search. A County History result indicates where further searches may be warranted; it is not itself a criminal or civil record.
3. Sex offender registry. Results are for Customer's own use in connection with the transaction certified under Section 4.2 of the Customer Agreement. Customer will not resell, sublicense or disclose results to any third party other than the End User, except a disclosure required by law and permitted by Customer Agreement Section 4.9.
4. Professional license verification. Results may be accessed and used only from within the United States.
5. Motor vehicle records. With each request, Customer certifies a permissible use under the Driver's Privacy Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2721(b), and any applicable state law, and will comply with any additional state-specific terms Authenticating publishes for the state concerned.
6. Education verification. Where a request uses the End User's Social Security number or a Data Supplier requires it, Customer will obtain the End User's written consent before the request and retain it for the period the Data Supplier requires, and in any event for at least two (2) years.
7. True Continuous Monitoring™. Monitoring alerts are subject to Section 4.15 of the Customer Agreement and Part 4 of the Service Terms.
8. California. Customer will comply with the Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act and the Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act as set out in Section 4.8 of the Customer Agreement.
