With growing concerns over protection of consumer data, some state and county courts have made decisions to redact full date of birth from public records in jurisdictions like Michigan and California, particularly Los Angeles. This shift affects background check providers, who previously relied on full date of birth for efficient case searches. With the redaction, background check providers must now use partial date of birth, leading to increased search times and potential delays. Checkr is addressing this challenge by leveraging its sophisticated identity matching technology, which can create probabilistic matches based on additional data available. The company is also working with regulatory bodies and researchers to identify ways to increase efficiency in processing potential matches. Ultimately, the trend towards protecting consumer data may impact all background check providers, requiring them to adapt to new laws and regulations.
