What To Do If Intimate Images Appeared During a Background Check

Background check firms conduct internet searches as part of employment and licensing due diligence. When intimate images appear in these searches, they are typically indexed by Google and Bing and hosted on accessible platforms. Understanding the exposure requires using tools that scan indexed images, including what is found on search engines and hosting platforms. ScanErase helps users discover matches for facial recognition.
