What Is Restricted Data Access and Why It Matters for Your Business

Restricted Access

Restricted data refers to information that is not publicly accessible or is limited due to privacy concerns or legal regulations. It includes personal information such as Social Security Numbers (SSNs), Driver's License information, and other regulated details. 

Businesses in financial services, collections, insurance, real estate, investigations, and other industries can request access to this data. Having Restricted Access can increase the success rate of skip tracing and fraud prevention.
