I think someone told me not to worry about disclaimer as if your
personal information is stolen by process from company background
checks/company sharing personal information. Company will be full
accountable/sueable for all practical purposes.
If company adopts a flawed procedure to do something than it is fully
accountable for its consequences.

Thx,

What they are looking for is the best part of this --

The consent form itself only says "the limited purpose of initiating
security access and system user identification" and then goes on with a
big disclaimer that the company is not liable for anything and that we
are releasing them of any liability.  The company tells us this is
common practice.  Don't believe it though.
