Connecticut Background Check Data Supplier
The Value of a Reliable Public Record Information in Connecticut
With over 20 years of experience, Eagle Eye Screening Solutions provides wholesale public records retrieval services.
Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) often begin background checks at the county level, where criminal charges and conviction records are filed. However, relying only on county-level searches can limit the scope of background checks due to jurisdictional boundaries. Eagle Eye Screening Solutions provides both statewide and county-level criminal searches in Connecticut, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) governs the use of consumer information for background checks, ensuring accuracy and protecting privacy. Access to reliable background check data in Connecticut enables employers to make informed hiring decisions and helps mitigate the risk of negligent hiring claims.

Background Data Restrictions and Regulations in Connecticut
Background checks in Connecticut are subject to a combination of federal and state laws designed to protect privacy and ensure employers have access to relevant information. Here are the key laws and regulations governing background checks in Connecticut:
Connecticut Ban-the-Box Law (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 31-51i):
Connecticut’s Ban-the-Box law restricts both public and private employers from asking about an applicant’s criminal history on an initial job application. Employers are allowed to inquire about criminal records only after an interview or after a conditional offer of employment has been made. This law ensures that applicants are judged based on their qualifications before their criminal history is considered.
Connecticut Criminal Records Checks (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 54-142a):
Employers in Connecticut must obtain written consent from applicants before accessing their criminal records. The state restricts the use of certain records in employment decisions, including:
- Arrests without conviction
- Sealed or expunged records
- Minor offenses
Under Connecticut law, individuals can petition for the expungement or erasure of certain criminal records, such as charges that did not lead to conviction, some misdemeanors, and older convictions, preventing these records from being used by employers in the hiring process.
Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) Compliance in Connecticut:
Employers in Connecticut must comply with the FCRA when conducting background checks. The FCRA ensures that the information reported is accurate, relevant, and timely. If an employer makes an adverse hiring decision based on the background check, they are required to notify the applicant and provide a copy of the report along with a summary of their rights under the FCRA.
Connecticut Data Breach Notification Law (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 36a-701b):
Connecticut law requires businesses to take steps to protect personal information, such as Social Security numbers and financial account details. In the event of a data breach, businesses must notify affected individuals and the Connecticut Attorney General’s Office. This law ensures that businesses handle sensitive data securely and responsibly.
