VOLUNTARY APPLICANT SELF-IDENTIFICATION SURVEY
Paragon Bank is a federal government contractor. As a matter of policy as well as
applicable law, we are required to keep records and perform certain analyses of our
applicant pool by race, ethnicity, and gender. Such analyses are only possible if we
know the EEO profile of our applicants, so we request that you complete this survey and
return it to us promptly.
Although the information that applicants provide does not in any way affect their
prospects for employment and is, in fact, treated very confidentially, it is nevertheless
very important to us. For any statistical analysis to be meaningful we must have
information on as many applicants as possible and it is just as important to collect
this information from men and from non-minorities as it is to obtain it from
women and minority group members.
We appreciate that some applicants will find this request intrusive and we regret this.
However, please be advised that we are required by the government to keep such
records and perform such analyses. You may decline to disclose but your cooperation
will allow us to be accurate.
In addition, information on county and state of residence as well as on how you learned
about the vacancy you applied for will assist us in our recruitment efforts.
The categories listed below are those used by the U.S. Department of Labor.

A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act
The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of
information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. There are many types of consumer
reporting agencies, including credit bureaus and specialty agencies (such as agencies that sell
information about check writing histories, medical records, and rental history records). Here is a
summary of your major rights under the FCRA. For more information, including information
about additional rights, go to www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore or write to: Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street N.W., Washington, DC 20552.
• You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. Anyone who uses a
credit report or another type of consumer report to deny your application for credit, insurance, or
employment – or to take another adverse action against you – must tell you, and must give you
the name, address, and phone number of the agency that provided the information.
• You have the right to know what is in your file. You may request and obtain all the
information about you in the files of a consumer reporting agency (your “file disclosure”). You
will be required to provide proper identification, which may include your Social Security
number. In many cases, the disclosure will be free. You are entitled to a free file disclosure if:
• a person has taken adverse action against you because of information in your credit
report;
• you are the victim of identity theft and place a fraud alert in your file;
• your file contains inaccurate information as a result of fraud;
• you are on public assistance;
• you are unemployed but expect to apply for employment within 60 days.
In addition, all consumers are entitled to one free disclosure every 12 months upon request from
each nationwide credit bureau and from nationwide specialty consumer reporting agencies. See
www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore for additional information.
• You have the right to ask for a credit score. Credit scores are numerical summaries of your
credit-worthiness based on information from credit bureaus. You may request a credit score
from consumer reporting agencies that create scores or distribute scores used in residential real
property loans, but you will have to pay for it. In some mortgage transactions, you will receive
credit score information for free from the mortgage lender.
• You have the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. If you identify
information in your file that is incomplete or inaccurate, and report it to the consumer
reporting agency, the agency must investigate unless your dispute is frivolous. See
www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore for an explanation of dispute procedures.
• Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or
unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information must be removed
or corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to
report information it has verified as accurate.
• Consumer reporting agencies may not report outdated negative information. In most
cases, a consumer reporting agency may not report negative information that is more than seven
years old, or bankruptcies that are more than 10 years old.
• Access to your file is limited. A consumer reporting agency may provide information about
you only to people with a valid need – usually to consider an application with a creditor, insurer,
employer, landlord, or other business. The FCRA specifies those with a valid need for access.
• You must give your consent for reports to be provided to employers. A consumer reporting
agency may not give out information about you to your employer, or a potential employer,
without your written consent given to the employer. Written consent generally is not required in
the trucking industry. For more information, go to www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.
• You may limit “prescreened” offers of credit and insurance you get based on information
in your credit report. Unsolicited “prescreened” offers for credit and insurance must include a
toll-free phone number you can call if you choose to remove your name and address from the
lists these offers are based on. You may opt-out with the nationwide credit bureaus at 1-888-5678688.
• You may seek damages from violators. If a consumer reporting agency, or, in some cases, a
user of consumer reports or a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency violates
the FCRA, you may be able to sue in state or federal court.
• Identity theft victims and active duty military personnel have additional rights. For more
information, visit www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.
States may enforce the FCRA, and many states have their own consumer reporting laws.
In some cases, you may have more rights under state law. For more information, contact
your state or local consumer protection agency or your state Attorney General. For
information about your federal rights, contact:
