Data location stated in Background screening
Where the data sits decides who can demand access to it and whether a transfer is one at all. It does not by itself decide which privacy law applies.
11 of 33 companies we measured here publish it, that is 33%. Last checked 2026-10-18.
33% here against 24% across every category we measure. Background screening sits above the overall share for this criterion.
This page counts companies, not product entries: a company with two products in this category is one company here and two rows below.

No statement about data location found.
We reached at least one address for each of these vendors and none of them carried it. That is what we found at the addresses we checked, on the date we checked them, and not a statement about what the vendor has.

Not measured
We could not look at these, or their robots.txt asks us not to. That says something about our measurement, not about them, and they are left out of the percentage above.
