Federal Trade Commission says background screening apps may be violating federal law. FTC sent letters to six unidentified mobile app makers warning them they must comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Some of the apps include criminal record histories, which bear on an individual’s character and reputation. Future actions against those firms weren’t ruled out if violations are found. The FTC has made no determination whether the companies are violating the law, but encourages them to review their apps and their policies and procedures to be sure they comply.”]
