Destroying Background Check Information If your company has performed an employee background check, know that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) expects you to destroy that information once you have
used it.
The FTC defines proper disposal of background information documents as:
- Shredding it or throwing it away in a manner that means it cannot be reconstructed
- If your company donates its computers to a school or thrift store, it must properly erase this information so that it cannot be reconstructed
