For example, SKO Pros may use personal information submitted to set up and maintain your interest in employment or recruiting services. SKO Pros also may use the personal information you provide to answer your questions and inquiries, to support SKO Pros's own recruitment activities in response to your inquiries into SKO Pros's job postings.
If you have provided your personal information over this web site in connection with a background screen ordered by SKO Pros's client - SKO Pros may use your personal information to perform your background screen for that client. SKO Pros will not use your information to conduct a background screening investigation and create a report unless SKO Pros's client has provided a certification required by the FCRA and any other applicable law. In this certification, SKO Pros's client certifies to SKO Pros that it has a legally permissible purpose for ordering the background screen, and that it has, to the extent required by applicable law, obtained your informed consent to conduct the background screen.

When SKO Pros conducts a background screening investigation about you, SKO Pros may disclose information that you submit to the SKO Pros client that ordered a background screening investigation on you. SKO Pros also may disclose your information to certain third parties as necessary to conduct the background investigation (such as educational institutions, prior employers, courts, law enforcement agencies and other persons or entities that may provide or verify information about you), as well as to a third-party representative or subcontractor authorized by SKO Pros to assist in the background screening investigation. These third party representatives and subcontractors include service providers that help host or support the web site or otherwise provide technical assistance, court researchers and other data and service vendors. SKO Pros transfers to these representatives and subcontractors only the personal information they need to deliver to SKO Pros (for the benefit of SKO Pros’ client) the requested product or service. SKO Pros prohibits these third parties from using that information for any other purpose. SKO Pros requires that these parties maintain commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of your information.

SKO Pros will not permit another business to examine the information SKO Pros has collected without a confidentiality agreement and only to the extent permitted by law.
