What Exactly is TruaScore?

A TruaScore is a simple and objective way for you to share your credibility with others and establish trust. Rather than divulge unnecessary personal information to other people, you can share your TruaScore instead.

A TruaScore is a great way to verify your identity, prove trust and reinforce reputation in any situation that requires you to share personal information. Use it for job opportunities, gig work, freelance work, personal or financial relationships. TruaScores are great for anyone interested in improving professional and personal networking without putting their private data at risk.

We only provide TruaScores directly to individuals. Scores are for the sole use of the TruaScore Owner and cannot be transferred to another person.

Create a TruaScore account in just a few minutes—to get started, all you need is a valid email address, a US driver’s license, and a US mobile phone number. Our process involves 3 simple steps; create your account, verify your identity and complete your TruaScore profile. We’ll ask you to enter personal information and then may ask you to review the information that we find about you from court records and public data sources.

The process is typically completed in just a few minutes. If you’ve had multiple names or many addresses, the review process may take a few more minutes longer. However, unlike other screening or background search processes, a TruaScore is calculated as soon as a TruaScore profile is completed.

The TruaScore includes data that you provide, and data gathered from many court and public records. When creating your account and completing your TruaScore profile you’ll provide identity information, education history, and any professional licenses you hold. Once your TruaScore profile is complete, Trua gathers your background data and applies a proprietary algorithm to analyze and score. Our proprietary algorithm continuously monitors and updates your score.

TruaScore Owners have the opportunity to review information used to calculate their score. If the information does not look right, we have a simplified dispute process that allows you to challenge inaccurate data immediately.

TruaScores can only be shared by you to another person or a business. When a TruaScore is shared, none of the underlying Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as social security number or driver’s license details are disclosed. Only the score preview that has been approved by you. You have control over who and how long others can see your score. Unlike with traditional consumer reports, recipients of your score only see what you choose to share with them.

Trua never publicly displays or shares your TruaScore, and third parties may not request scores without the Owner’s knowledge.

You can request TruaScore directly from a TruaScore Owner. Should they wish to share their TruaScore with you then you’ll be notified and can securely view their TruaScore.

TruaScore Owners cannot get a score on behalf of someone else. The TruaScore is only available to the subscribing individual.

Trua protects your data in several ways.

First, your data is fully encrypted and securely stored. We make sure that access to your data and your score requires secure authentication and you are in control.

Next, the TruaScore eliminates the need for you to share your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) repeatedly. Use your TruaScore as a safer alternative to sharing sensitive information like your Social Security or other PII. You provide your information to Trua one time. Your TruaScore communicates to those you share your score with that you have verified and validated data. This also means that those you share with won’t have a copy of your PII that might inadvertently be accessed by third parties.

Finally, you decide who sees your TruaScore. Share only with those you choose to and remove access to your TruaScore when no longer needed by others.
