Rhode Island Background Check Data Supplier
The Value of a Reliable Public Record Information in
Rhode Island
With over 20 years of experience, Eagle Eye Screening Solutions provides wholesale public records retrieval services.
Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) often initiate background checks at the county level, where criminal charges and conviction records are filed. However, relying solely on county-level searches can limit the scope of a background check due to jurisdictional boundaries. Eagle Eye Screening Solutions provides both statewide and county criminal searches in Rhode Island to ensure thorough and comprehensive background check 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 Rhode Island allows employers to make informed hiring decisions and mitigate the risk of negligent hiring claims.

Background Data Restrictions and Regulations in Rhode Island
Background checks in Rhode Island are governed by federal and state laws aimed at protecting individual privacy while ensuring employers can access relevant information. Below are the key regulations governing background checks in Rhode Island:
Rhode Island Fair Employment Practices Act (Ban-the-Box) (R.I. Gen. Laws § 28-5-7(7)):
Rhode Island’s Ban-the-Box law applies to both public and private employers, prohibiting inquiries into an applicant's criminal history on initial job applications. Employers may ask about criminal records only after the first interview or after extending a conditional offer of employment. This law is designed to prevent applicants from being disqualified based solely on their criminal history before they have the opportunity to demonstrate their qualifications.
Rhode Island Criminal Records Checks (R.I. Gen. Laws § 12-1.7-2):
Employers must obtain written consent from applicants before accessing their criminal records in Rhode Island. Certain records are restricted from use in employment decisions, including:
- Arrests without conviction
- Sealed or expunged records
- Minor offenses
Additionally, Rhode Island allows individuals to petition for the expungement or sealing of certain criminal records, preventing employers from accessing these records unless they are legally unsealed.
Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) Compliance in Rhode Island:
Employers conducting background checks must comply with the FCRA, ensuring that the information reported is accurate, relevant, and timely. If an employer takes adverse action based on a background check, they must notify the applicant and provide a copy of the report along with a summary of their rights under the FCRA.
Rhode Island Identity Theft Protection Act (R.I. Gen. Laws § 11-49.3):
Rhode Island’s Identity Theft Protection Act requires businesses to safeguard personal information such as Social Security numbers and financial details. In the event of a data breach, businesses are required to notify both the affected individuals and the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office.
