If you have provided your personal information in connection with a background screen ordered by RISQ Group's client – RISQ Group may use your personal information to perform your background screen for that client.

From time to time, we will need to transfer personal information overseas in order to liaise with verification sources. RISQ Group will not transfer personal information overseas without the consent of the individual unless:

The transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between RISQ Group and the individual, or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken in response to the individual's request.The transfer is necessary for the performance or conclusion of a contract between RISQ Group and a third party that is in the interests of the individual concerned.

The transfer is for the benefit of the individual; it is impractical to obtain the individual's consent and, if it was, the individual would be likely to give it.
