6. They are used for screening of the info

in employment applications and applications for renting or home owning to name a few.

It was sold to Lexis Nexis's parent company.
Here is the website:

Read wikipedia article about them:

I have heard that they also will compare info that people send in at different times such as applying for jobs even several years apart. They flag even tiny discrepancies which can be used to judge someone.

Read the articles and look at their site. They are truly scary.
