DISCLOSURE REGARDING “INVESTIGATIVE CONSUMER REPORT” BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION

Jobble, Inc. (the “Company”) may request an investigative consumer report about you from a third party consumer reporting agency, in connection with your employment or application for employment (including volunteer assignment(s), as applicable) and throughout your employment if you are hired or retained, as allowed by law. An “investigative consumer report” is a background report that includes information from personal interviews (except in California, where that term includes background reports with or without information obtained from personal interviews). The most common form of an investigative consumer report in connection with your employment is a reference check through personal interviews with sources such as your former employers and associates, and other information sources. The investigative consumer report may contain information concerning your character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living. 

You have the right, upon written request made within a reasonable time, to request from the Company (1) whether an investigative consumer report has been obtained about you, (2) disclosure of the nature and scope of any investigative consumer report and (3) a copy of your report. 

These reports will be prepared by Sterling Infosystems Inc. 6150 Oak Tree Boulevard, Suite 490, Independence, OH 44131. 1.866.338.6739 www.sterlingcheck.com.

NOTICE REGARDING BACKGROUND CHECKS PER CALIFORNIA LAW

Thus, you can expect to be the subject of “investigative consumer reports” obtained for employment purposes. Such reports may include information about your character, general reputation, personal characteristics and mode of living. With respect to any investigative consumer report from an investigative consumer reporting agency (“ICRA”), the Company may investigate the information contained in your employment application and other background information about you, including but not limited to obtaining a criminal record report, verifying references, work history, your social security number, your educational achievements, licensure, and certifications, your driving record (which may contain your photograph, social security number, driver identification number, name, address, telephone number, and medical or disability information), and other information about you, and interviewing people who are knowledgeable about you. The results of this report may be used as a factor in making employment decisions. 

The source of any investigative consumer report (as that term is defined under California law) will be Sterling Infosystems Inc. 6150 Oak Tree Boulevard, Suite 490, Independence, OH 44131. 1.866.338.6739 www.sterlingcheck.com. The Company agrees to provide you with a copy of an investigative consumer report when required to do so under California law. 

Under California Civil Code section 1786.22, you are entitled to find out what is in the ICRA’s file on you with proper identification, as follows: 

  • In person, by visual inspection of your file during normal business hours and on reasonable notice. You also may request a copy of the information in person. The ICRA may not charge you more than the actual copying costs for providing you with a copy of your file. 
  • A summary of all information contained in the ICRA’s file on you that is required to be provided by the California Civil Code will be provided to you via telephone, if you have made a written request, with proper identification, for telephone disclosure, and the toll charge, if any, for the telephone call is prepaid by or charged directly to you. 
  • By requesting a copy be sent to a specified addressee by certified mail. ICRAs complying with requests for certified mailings shall not be liable for disclosures to third parties caused by mishandling of mail after such mailings leave the ICRAs. 

“Proper Identification” includes documents such as a valid driver’s license, social security account number, military identification card, and credit cards. Only if you cannot identify yourself with such information may the ICRA require additional information concerning your employment and personal or family history in order to verify your identity. 

The ICRA will provide trained personnel to explain any information furnished to you and will provide a written explanation of any coded information contained in files maintained on you. This written explanation will be provided whenever a file is provided to you for visual inspection. You may be accompanied by one other person of your choosing, who must furnish reasonable identification. An ICRA may require you to furnish a written statement granting permission to the ICRA to discuss your file in such person’s presence.
