Information Collection and Notification
CII may collect information about you on our publicly-accessible website, including “Personal Information,” which identifies you individually, such as your name and e-mail address, when you submit a form, such as, but not limited to, a request for information. CII may collect additional information if you choose to submit it, including your title, place of employment, business telephone number, mailing and facsimile address, as well as the contents of your questions and/or comments submitted along with this information.

For current or prospective employees of a CII client, please note that by authorizing CII’s client to process a background screening investigation, and by providing your personal information to CII (whether indirectly through CII’s client, or directly through your client-initiated, password-protected access to this website), you are permitting CII to disclose your personal information to our client and to share this information with CII’s subcontractors in accordance with this Privacy Statement, for purposes of enabling CII to prepare a background screening report on you. Personal information that may be gathered about you in connection with a background screening investigation may include, for example, your address history, work history, educational history, criminal history, driver’s license number, social security number, date of birth, and other pertinent information, depending on the requirements of a particular client and application at issue.
