SJV & Associates takes the issue of privacy very seriously. We comply with the data policies and restriction principles laid out in the U.S. - E.U. Safe Harbor program to protect your data privacy rights.
SJV & Associates is a public records wholesaler operating on behalf of consumer reporting agencies. Personal data is collected and provided to our clients for the purposes of making decisions primarily regarding employment, credential verification, and tenancy. Personal information being provided and utilized may include the name, Social Security or relevant national ID number, date of birth, address history, as well as other personal identifiers. Should consumers not wish to have their personal information made available to SJV and SJV's clients, information can be directly withheld by the consumer. Providing a signed consent authorizes SJV, and their designated agents, to utilize the provided personal information and transmit that information to our clients. An explicit, opt in choice is made available regarding sensitive information.
SJV & Associates does employ third party agents, both domestically and internationally. Transfer of personal information to a third party agent is contingent upon their adherence to equal or higher privacy restrictions. The possibility of transfer is disclosed to the consumer at the time consumer consent is requested.
SJV & Associates has taken appropriate steps to ensure the security of private information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Existing protections include the screening of employees handling the data, physical and electronic protective measures, as well as work procedures actively designed to safeguard the information. SJV gathers and utilizes personal information in capacities that are directly relevant to the purposes stated above. Internal audit procedures are in place to ensure that personal information gathered and provided is accurate, complete, and current.
SJV & Associates can be contacted to receive a report allowing the consumer to review, correct, amend, or delete inaccurate information. A fee may be charged to offset the cost of compiling and delivering. The report will be provided to the consumer only after the identity of the consumer has been satisfactorily confirmed. Upon identity confirmation, the report will be sent to the consumer by mail.
Periodically, review and updating of this privacy policy is performed to verify that it remains accurate and is in conformity with the principles laid out in the U.S. - E.U. Safe Harbor program. Should an EU consumer experience concern that their rights may have been violated, they should contact SJV directly. In the event that SJV is unable to satisfy the concerns of the consumer, SJV will cooperate with European Data Protection Authorities regarding the resolution of a complaint or dispute.
