When you get fingerprinted for a background check, you’re sharing some of your most personal information: your fingerprints, your identity, and sometimes your Social Security number or employment details. It’s natural to wonder how that data is handled and who can access it.
At Newport Beach Mailboxes & More, your privacy is our priority. We know that trust is essential, especially when completing something as sensitive as a Live Scan fingerprinting appointment. That’s why we follow strict procedures to protect your data, your identity, and your peace of mind every step of the way.
Here’s how we keep your information safe from the moment you walk in until your background check is complete.
What Happens During a Live Scan
Live Scan fingerprinting is California’s secure digital process for collecting fingerprints and sending them to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and, if required, the FBI. Instead of using ink, your fingerprints are scanned electronically using certified equipment.
Once captured, they’re encrypted and transmitted directly to the DOJ through a secure network. This means your fingerprint data never sits on an unprotected computer or travels through unsafe channels.
At Newport Beach Mailboxes, all fingerprinting is handled by certified technicians who have been trained and authorized by the California DOJ. We never store or share your fingerprints. They are sent immediately and securely to the proper agencies for background review.
Certified and Compliant at Every Step
Privacy protection is required by law. We take compliance seriously to ensure your fingerprinting experience is both safe and legitimate.
Every technician at Newport Beach Mailboxes & More is certified by the California Department of Justice. Certification ensures they’re trained in proper fingerprinting techniques and data security protocols.
Our Live Scan system uses DOJ-approved devices and encrypted transmission methods to prevent unauthorized access. We do not keep copies of your fingerprints on our computers or devices once your scan is submitted. Your data is sent directly to the DOJ and removed from our system after processing.
Our staff never views or discusses your background check results, they are transmitted directly to the requesting agency, such as an employer, licensing board, or volunteer organization.
When you come to us, you can trust that your fingerprints and personal information are handled only by certified professionals who understand the importance of confidentiality.
Why Your Privacy Matters
When it comes to background checks, privacy isn’t just about data, it’s about trust. Whether you’re a teacher, healthcare provider, real estate agent, or volunteer, you deserve confidence that your sensitive information is safe.
In today’s digital world, protecting personal data has never been more important. That’s why we’ve built every part of our Live Scan process around security, accuracy, and transparency. Every safeguard is designed to ensure your information is protected from misuse or unauthorized access.
What We Don’t Do With Your Data
It’s equally important to know what doesn’t happen with your information.
We do not store or archive your fingerprints locally. We do not sell, share, or disclose your information to third parties. We do not have access to your DOJ or FBI background results.
Once your Live Scan submission is sent, the results go directly to the agency listed on your Request for Live Scan Service form. That agency is the only one authorized to receive and review your results.
If you need to verify that your submission went through, we can provide you with your ATI number—a tracking code that allows you or your employer to check the status directly through the DOJ’s system.

How You Can Help Protect Your Own Privacy
While we take every precaution to keep your data secure, you can also take simple steps to protect your information.
