Use & Processing · Company practice
Service Information supports the check and compatible fraud prevention
Aristotle uses Service Information to provide the Integrity Service for which it was collected, subject to law and the source’s contractual restrictions. Within that purpose it may perform fraud prevention, risk mitigation and similarly compatible activities. This service-specific statement does not say that every use of Aristotle website or International Services data has this same limit.

Cross-references
qualified by (model-proposed): Integrity Services require individual or representative consent — Integrity use requires the individual’s or appropriate representative’s consent, while the use-purpose card describes what Aristotle does with Service Information.
qualified by (model-proposed): Outside verification providers may receive request information — The check may involve subprocessors rather than only Aristotle’s own data; their broader business use is described for anonymized information, with the stated sharing restrictions retained.
contrast (model-proposed): The general notice discloses sales to political and marketing clients — The Integrity section limits Service Information use to the collected-for service and compatible activity, while the general section discloses sales across listed categories. The source does not allocate each sale category to a data stream, so this tension does not establish that particular Integrity check records are sold.

Depending on state and applicability, the policy lists opt-outs for targeted advertising, sale as defined by applicable law, and profiling that furthers decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.

It supplies a sale/profiling form and cookie controls for targeted advertising; legally required requests are subject to identity verification.
