Driver Background Check Consent & Disclosure

1. Purpose and Scope

This Driver Background Check Consent and Disclosure ("Consent") is provided by RIG53, Inc.("RIG53," "we," "us," or "our"), a Delaware corporation, to you as a driver or prospective driver on the RIG53 platform ("you" or "Driver").

As part of the RIG53 driver verification and trust process, RIG53 may procure one or more consumer reports — including a Motor Vehicle Record ("MVR"), criminal background report, employment history verification, or continuous monitoring report — for purposes of evaluating your eligibility to participate on the RIG53 platform and to carry freight on behalf of carriers or shippers using the RIG53 platform.

These reports may be obtained at the time of initial registration, at periodic intervals, and on a continuous basis while you remain active on the platform. By providing your authorization below, you consent to this ongoing background check program for as long as your RIG53 account remains active unless you withdraw consent.

2. Consumer Report Disclosure (FCRA §604)

3. Authorization

By proceeding with your driver verification on the RIG53 platform and affirmatively checking the consent checkbox, you voluntarily authorize RIG53 and its designated consumer reporting agency (see Section 4) to obtain consumer reports about you, now and on an ongoing basis, for the purposes described in this Consent. Your authorization timestamp and the version of this Consent you accepted are recorded and stored by RIG53.

You authorize RIG53 to provide your name, date of birth, Social Security Number (collected via secure encrypted form for identity verification purposes only), driver's license number, and other identifying information to the consumer reporting agency as necessary to obtain the reports described above. RIG53 does not store your Social Security Number beyond the secure verification session.

You further authorize the consumer reporting agency to release your consumer report to RIG53 and to its authorized carrier and shipper partners who have a permissible purpose under the FCRA to receive such information in connection with a transportation engagement.

You may withdraw this authorization at any time by contacting privacy@rig53.com. Withdrawal of authorization may limit your ability to drive on the RIG53 platform, as verified driver credentials are required by carriers and shippers.

4. Consumer Reporting Agency — Checkr

RIG53 uses Checkr, Inc. as its primary consumer reporting agency for background screening services. Checkr is a consumer reporting agency regulated under the FCRA.

Checkr is listed as a sub-processor in RIG53's Data Processing Agreement. Checkr processes your personal data as a data processor acting on RIG53's behalf and subject to Checkr's own FCRA obligations as a consumer reporting agency. Checkr's privacy policy is available at checkr.com.

RIG53 may also use the FMCSA's Pre-Employment Screening Program ("PSP") through the FMCSA directly. The FMCSA PSP is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA, but FMCSA regulations and PSP program terms govern access to PSP records.

5. Your Rights Under the FCRA

The FCRA provides you with specific rights regarding consumer reports. A summary of your rights under the FCRA as required by 15 U.S.C. § 1681g(c) is provided here:

6. Adverse Action Notice

If RIG53 takes an adverse action based, in whole or in part, on information in a consumer report — including denying, suspending, or restricting your access to the platform — RIG53 will comply with the FCRA's adverse action requirements (15 U.S.C. § 1681b(b)(3)), including:

• Providing you with a pre-adverse action notice, a copy of your consumer report, and the "Summary of Your Rights Under the FCRA" before taking final adverse action;
• Allowing you a reasonable period (typically 5–7 business days) to review the report and dispute any inaccurate information before the adverse action is finalized; and
• Providing a final adverse action notice identifying the consumer reporting agency that supplied the report, confirming that the agency did not make the decision, and providing Checkr's contact information.

Adverse action notices will be delivered to the email address associated with your RIG53 account and through the RIG53 platform notification system.

7. Additional State-Specific Rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights with respect to consumer reports. The following states have enacted additional background check disclosure and authorization requirements that supplement federal FCRA protections:

8. Retention and Data Protection

Background check reports obtained by RIG53 through Checkr are retained as part of your Driver Qualification File in accordance with the FMCSA record retention requirements under 49 CFR §391.51, which requires that DQ records be maintained for the duration of your active driving status plus 3 years. Background check reports are stored in RIG53's CredentialVault with AES-256 field-level encryption and access is restricted to authorized platform staff with a legitimate business need.

MVR and background check data is not used by RIG53 for any purpose other than those described in this Consent. RIG53 does not sell background check data to third parties. Carriers and shippers on the RIG53 platform may access a verified credential summary (pass/fail status and credential tier) but do not receive the full consumer report without a separate permissible purpose under the FCRA.

For full details on how RIG53 processes your personal data, see our Privacy Policy and Biometric Data Policy.
