Application of the Policy

Policy

All Users must successfully complete a Background Check prior to usage of the Application as a trainer. Specifically, this includes a verification of the User's Social Security number, criminal history record and sex offender registry. The user must sign a release, and the Company will follow applicable regulations throughout the Background Check process, including adhering to standards of confidentiality and communication.

Confidentiality

Results of all Background Checks are confidential and will not be disclosed to any individual, except to the extent necessary on a need-to-know basis. The Company does not receive details of the Background Check, only a notification of whether the results do or do not meet the Company guidelines.

Results and Review Process

The Application reviews the background check results automatically and determines if the criteria for usage have been met. If the background check indicates a discrepancy, the User can request a manual review of their results.

All decisions are made on a case-by-case basis taking into account factors including, but not limited to:

• The nature and gravity of the offense
• The time that has passed since the conviction and/or completion of the sentence

At that point, the Company will notify the potential User of the final decision.
