The CIAdata difference

Data is only the beginning.

Public records can be fragmented, outdated, or associated with people who have similar names. That’s why CIAdata adds a human review step before delivery.

Human review does not guarantee that every public record is complete or error-free. It adds care, context, and a checkpoint that automated-only delivery may not provide.

Permissible use matters

Use background information responsibly.

CIAdata’s general public-record reports are not offered as consumer reports for decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), including employment, tenant screening, credit, insurance, or other eligibility decisions, unless a specific service is expressly identified as FCRA-compliant.

Common questions

Straight answers, before you order.

Have a question about a specific use? Contact support before submitting personal information.

What does “human reviewed” mean?+

A real person examines the available results for potential matching issues, internal consistency, and organization before delivery. It is an additional review layer—not a guarantee that source records are complete or error-free.

What information may be included?+

Depending on your selected service and jurisdiction, a report may include available identity, address, court, property, business, licensing, or other public records. The purchase page should state the scope before you pay.

Can I use a report for hiring or tenants?+

Not unless the specific product is expressly offered for that purpose and meets applicable FCRA and state-law requirements. General people-search or public-record reports must not be used for regulated eligibility decisions.

Are results guaranteed to be accurate?+

No. Public records can be incomplete, delayed, incorrect, or unavailable. Human review is intended to improve report quality, but it cannot eliminate limitations in source data.
