How We Use Your Information

We use personal information collected through this Website for the following purposes only:

  • Responding to inquiries. When you submit a contact or consultation form, we use your name and contact information to follow up with you regarding your care inquiry. We do not use this information for any purpose other than responding to you.

04

We Do Not Sell Your Information

The Wright Agency® does not sell, rent, lease, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to any third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. This applies to all information collected through this Website, including contact details, inquiry content, and download requests. We never have. We never will.

This commitment applies regardless of where you live, what state's law applies to you, or how the information was collected. We mention this at the outset because we believe you deserve to know it immediately — not buried at the bottom of a document no one reads.


The family that calls us at 2 am about their mother does not need to wonder who else will be calling her. No one will. Because we do not share what they tell us.


05

When We Share Information

The Wright Agency® does not share your personal information with third parties except in the following narrow, defined circumstances:


Service Providers

We work with a small number of trusted service providers who assist us in operating this Website and delivering services — including website hosting (GoDaddy), email marketing platforms, and customer relationship tools. These providers receive access to personal information only to the extent necessary to perform their function, are prohibited from using it for any other purpose, and are required to maintain appropriate security standards.


Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate website usage. Google may receive technical data including your IP address and browsing behavior on our site. See Section 7 for full disclosure and opt-out instructions.


Legal Requirements

We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, subpoena, or lawful government request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations, protect the rights or safety of The Wright Agency®, our clients, our direct care workers, or the public, or respond to a legal claim or enforce our Terms and Conditions.


Business Transition

In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or transfer of all or a portion of The Wright Agency®'s business, personal information held by us may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you by a prominent notice on this Website or by email (if applicable) before your personal information becomes subject to a different privacy policy as a result of such a transaction.


With Your Explicit Consent

We may share your personal information with third parties in any other circumstance only with your prior, explicit, informed written consent.

In no circumstance do we share client care information, family care situation details, or the identity of any person served by The Wright Agency® with any external party without a signed authorization from the client or their authorized representative.


06

Cookies, Analytics & Tracking Technologies

Common browsers provide cookie controls here: Chrome → Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies; Safari → Preferences → Privacy; Firefox → Options → Privacy & Security; Edge → Settings → Privacy, Search & Services. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain forms or features on this Website.


We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party advertising technology on this Website. We are a care agency, not an ad platform. If you see targeted ads elsewhere after visiting our site, those are delivered by third-party advertising networks operating on those other platforms — not by us.


07

Google Analytics — Full Disclosure

Required Disclosure: Google Analytics Terms of Service require all websites using Google Analytics to disclose this use in their privacy policy and explain how user data is gathered and used. This section fulfills that requirement.


This Website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use this Website.


What Google Analytics Collects

Google Analytics may collect your IP address (anonymized where required), browser type and version, device type and operating system, pages you visit on this Website, time spent on each page, the website that referred you to us, and your general geographic region (city/state level, not precise location). This information is transmitted to Google servers and processed in the United States.


How We Use This Data

We use Google Analytics data exclusively in aggregate form to understand which pages are most useful to visitors, how people find our Website, and how to improve the structure and content of our site. We do not use Google Analytics to identify individual visitors or to target them with advertising.


How to Opt Out of Google Analytics

You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On, available at: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You may also disable analytics cookies through your browser settings as described in Section 6.


Google's privacy practices are described in the Google Privacy Policy. The Wright Agency® is not responsible for the data practices of Google LLC.


08

Email Marketing & CAN-SPAM Act

The Wright Agency® may send periodic email communications to individuals who have expressly opted in to receive them — including the Wright Wellness Library™ monthly guide, care-related informational content, and service updates. All email marketing communications from The Wright Agency® comply fully with the federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. § 7701 et seq.).


Our Email Practices

Every marketing email from The Wright Agency® will: (1) identify itself clearly as a communication from The Wright Agency®; (2) include our accurate physical postal address (823 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, Farrell, PA 16121); (3) include a clear, working mechanism to unsubscribe from future communications; (4) honor all unsubscribe requests within 10 business days; and (5) never use deceptive subject lines, header information, or sending addresses.


Opt-In — What You Consent To

When you download the Wright Checklist™, a Wright Wellness Library™ guide, or submit any form that includes an email opt-in checkbox, you consent to receive the content you requested and, if the checkbox is selected, periodic related communications from The Wright Agency®. You are never automatically opted in to marketing communications as a result of a care inquiry or consultation request.


How to Unsubscribe

You may unsubscribe from any or all email communications from The Wright Agency® at any time by: (a) clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any email you receive from us; (b) emailing us directly at the address in Section 20; or (c) calling us at (724) 979-6438. 


Unsubscribe requests will be honored within 10 business days. After unsubscribing, you may still receive transactional or service-related communications (e.g., confirmation of a consultation appointment) that are not marketing in nature.

We do not purchase email lists, send unsolicited bulk email, or share your email address with any third party for their marketing use.


09

HIPAA Status & Non-Medical Care Privacy Practices

Our status under HIPAA: The Wright Agency® is a non-medical in-home personal care agency. As a non-medical care provider that does not transmit health information electronically in connection with standard healthcare transactions, The Wright Agency® may not constitute a "covered entity" as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164. Nothing on this Website or in these communications creates or implies a HIPAA-covered healthcare relationship.


However, we hold ourselves to standards consistent with the spirit and intent of HIPAA across all client-related operations, because the families who trust us with their loved ones deserve nothing less. These are our practices, applied to every client relationship regardless of legal obligation:


  • No disclosure without authorization. We do not share, discuss, or disclose any information about a client's care situation, health status, or family circumstances with any outside party — including referral sources, hospitals, or social workers — without a signed written authorization from the client or their authorized representative.
  • Testimonial consent required. Any client testimonial or family story published on this Website was obtained with a signed media release. Where no release was obtained, testimonials are attributed generically (e.g., "Family served in Mercer County, PA").
  • Public review response protocol. When responding to Google reviews or other public feedback, we will never confirm or deny that any individual is or was a client of The Wright Agency®, regardless of what the reviewer shares publicly.
  • Staff confidentiality. All employees and direct care workers of The Wright Agency® are trained on client confidentiality practices and are prohibited from disclosing client information outside of their care duties. Breach of confidentiality is grounds for immediate termination.
  • Care records handled separately. Care plans, visit logs, and service-related client records are maintained separately from this Website's data systems and are subject to their own confidentiality protocols.

2026 HIPAA Security Rule Update

The 2026 amendments to the HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR Part 164) require covered entities to strengthen encryption, access controls, and breach notification procedures. To the extent any regulatory update expands our obligations, we will update our internal practices and this Policy accordingly. We encourage families to contact us by phone for any care-related conversations involving health information: (724) 979-6438.


10

Pennsylvania State Privacy Law Compliance

The Wright Agency® headquarters operates exclusively in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is subject to all applicable Pennsylvania state privacy and data protection laws. The following state-law obligations are specifically relevant to our operations and your rights:


Pennsylvania Breach of Personal Information Notification Act

73 P.S. § 2301 et seq. Pennsylvania's Breach of Personal Information Notification Act requires any business or entity that maintains computerized data containing personal information about Pennsylvania residents to provide notice to affected individuals "without unreasonable delay" in the event of a breach of security. "Personal information" under this Act includes name combined with Social Security number, driver's license or state ID number, financial account information, or access codes. See Section 11 for our full breach notification protocol.


Pennsylvania Attorney General Notification

73 P.S. § 2303 If a qualifying security breach affects more than 1,000 Pennsylvania residents, we are required to notify the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office and consumer reporting agencies. We maintain internal procedures to assess and respond to any security incident within the timelines required by law.


Pennsylvania Consumer Privacy — No State Omnibus Law

As of the effective date of this Policy, Pennsylvania has not enacted a comprehensive consumer privacy law analogous to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act. Nonetheless, The Wright Agency® voluntarily provides the rights described in Section 17 of this Policy to all Website users regardless of their state of residence, because we believe transparency and control over personal information are the right standard — not a compliance minimum.


Pennsylvania Home Care Agency Regulations

28 Pa. Code Ch. 611 Licensed home care agencies in Pennsylvania are subject to regulations governing client record confidentiality. Under 28 Pa. Code § 611.57, home care agencies must maintain client records as confidential. Client records — including care plans and service logs — may only be released with the written consent of the client or their authorized representative, or as required by law or third-party contractual arrangements. This requirement applies to all client records we maintain in the course of providing care services, separate from and in addition to this Website's privacy practices.


11

Data Breach Notification Protocol

In the event The Wright Agency® discovers or is notified of a security incident that results in unauthorized access to, or acquisition of, personal information maintained on behalf of Website users, we will respond according to the following protocol:


  • Assessment. Upon discovery of a potential breach, we will promptly assess the nature, scope, and impact of the incident, including whether personal information has been accessed, acquired, or disclosed without authorization.
  • Individual notification. If the assessment confirms a qualifying breach, we will notify all affected Pennsylvania residents without unreasonable delay as required by 73 P.S. § 2301. Notification will be provided by direct communication to the contact information we have on file for the affected individual.
  • Pennsylvania Attorney General notification. If the breach affects more than 1,000 Pennsylvania residents, we will notify the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office and applicable consumer reporting agencies as required by law.
  • Regulatory timelines. We maintain internal incident response procedures designed to comply with the shortest applicable timeline across Pennsylvania state law and any applicable federal notification requirements, including the 2026 HIPAA Security Rule's 72-hour reporting window for covered breaches of 500 or more records.
  • Remediation. We will take prompt steps to contain, remediate, and prevent recurrence of any breach, and will document our response actions in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

To report a potential security vulnerability, suspected unauthorized access, or any concern about the security of your personal information, contact us immediately at (724) 979-6438 or at the address in Section 20.


12

Children's Privacy (COPPA) Compliance

This Website is not directed to children. The Wright Agency® provides in-home care services for aging and disabled adults. Our Website is directed exclusively to adult users — specifically, adult family members, adult clients, adult durect care worker applicants, and adult referral partners. We do not knowingly collect personal information from any child under the age of 13.


In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), 15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq., and the 2025 amendments to the COPPA Rule effective June 23, 2025 (with compliance required by April 22, 2026), The Wright Agency® maintains the following practices:

  • We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from any child under the age of 13.
  • Our contact forms, download forms, and application forms are designed for and directed at adult users only.
  • If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information from our records as promptly as possible.
  • If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under 13 has provided personal information to this Website, please contact us immediately at (724) 979-6438 or at the address in Section 20 and we will take prompt action to remove that information.

The 2025 COPPA Rule amendments expanded the definition of "personal information" to include biometric identifiers and government-issued identifiers. We do not collect any such information from any user through this Website.


13

California Residents — CalOPPA & Do-Not-Track

Although The Wright Agency® is a Pennsylvania-based agency serving western PA and eastern Ohio, this Website is accessible from anywhere, including California. Under the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), California Business & Professions Code § 22575, any commercial website that collects personally identifiable information from California residents must conspicuously post a privacy policy. This section fulfills that requirement.


Do-Not-Track Disclosure

CalOPPA requires websites to state clearly whether they honor "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signals. Our position: This Website does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to Do Not Track signals transmitted by your browser. This is consistent with industry practice, as there is no uniform standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Google Analytics 4 is the primary analytics tool in use, and its behavior in response to DNT signals is governed by Google's own policies.


If you wish to limit tracking, we recommend installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out add-on described in Section 7 and managing cookies through your browser settings as described in Section 6.


Third-Party Tracking

Third parties, such as Google Analytics, may collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you visit this Website. Beyond Google Analytics, we do not authorize additional third-party tracking technologies on this Website.


California Privacy Rights

California residents may request information about personal information we have disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. As stated in Section 4, The Wright Agency® does not disclose personal information to any third party for direct marketing purposes. Accordingly, we have no information of this type to disclose. California residents with additional privacy questions may contact us at the address in Section 20.


14

International Visitors

This Website is operated in the United States and is intended for use by residents of the United States, specifically those in Pennsylvania and Ohio seeking non-medical in-home care for aging family members.


If you are accessing this Website from outside the United States, please be aware that the information you provide may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. Data protection and privacy laws in the United States may differ from those in your country of residence, and by using this Website you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.


This Privacy Policy is not intended to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the laws of any country outside the United States, as this Website does not solicit visitors from those jurisdictions. If you are a resident of the European Economic Area and believe you have privacy rights under GDPR, please contact us at the address in Section 20 to discuss your request.


15

Data Security Measures

The Wright Agency® implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information collected through this Website against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

  • SSL/HTTPS encryption. This Website operates exclusively over HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption). All data transmitted between your browser and our server is encrypted in transit. Any HTTP request is automatically redirected to the secure HTTPS version of our site.
  • Access controls. Access to Website backend systems and any data collected through this Website is restricted to authorized personnel of The Wright Agency® only. All access is password-protected and subject to internal authorization protocols.
  • Encrypted form transmission. Contact form submissions are transmitted over encrypted connections and are received only by authorized staff of The Wright Agency®.
  • No storage of payment data. This Website does not process or store any payment card information. Any future e-commerce or donation functions will use PCI-compliant payment processors.
  • Hosting security. This Website is hosted through GoDaddy, which maintains its own security infrastructure including server-level protections. The Wright Agency® is not responsible for GoDaddy's data security practices, which are governed by GoDaddy's own terms and security policies.

Important limitation: No method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we take commercially reasonable steps to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. By submitting personal information through this Website, you acknowledge and accept this inherent risk.


16

Data Retention & Deletion

We retain personal information collected through this Website only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, as required by applicable law, or as necessary for legitimate business purposes. The following retention guidelines apply:

 

Contact Form Inquiries (Non-Clients)Retention: 12 months from last contact Basis: Legitimate interest in responding to outstanding inquiries


Consultation Requests (Did Not Convert to Client)Retention: 24 months Basis: Legitimate interest; potential future care need


Email Subscribers (Opted In) Retention: Until unsubscribe request is honored Basis: Consent-based; deleted within 10 business days of unsubscribe


Caregiver Applicants (Not Hired) Retention: 12 months Basis: Legitimate interest in future hiring consideration


Google Analytics Data Retention: 14 months (Google's default setting) Basis: Analytics data automatically deleted per Google's data retention policy


Server Logs (IP Addresses, Access Logs) Retention: 90 days Basis: Security and operational monitoring


Records relating to active and former care clients are maintained for a minimum of seven (7) years following the conclusion of care services, consistent with Pennsylvania record retention requirements for licensed home care agencies under 28 Pa. Code § 611.57.

You may request deletion of your personal information at any time. See Section 17. We will honor deletion requests to the extent permitted by law and our legitimate business obligations.


17

You may opt out of email marketing communications at any time. See Section 8 for unsubscribe instructions. Transactional communications related to an active care arrangement are not subject to opt-out.

No Care Services Agreement Created Online

Completing any inquiry form, contact form, or consultation request on this website does not constitute, create, or imply any agreement for the provision of care services.

Submission of a contact form signifies only your request to be contacted. It does not reserve direct care worker placement, guarantee availability, confirm pricing, or create any enforceable obligation on the part of The Wright Agency® to provide services.


All care arrangements — including scope of services, scheduling, pricing, direct care worker assignment, and terms of care — are governed exclusively by the written service agreement executed at the time of client intake, not by the content of this website.

Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

Informal Resolution First

Before initiating any formal legal action, you agree to contact The Wright Agency® in writing at the address in Section 17 and provide a detailed description of your dispute, the relief sought, and your contact information. The Wright Agency® will make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of receiving your written notice. Many disputes can and should be resolved this way.


Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, you and The Wright Agency® agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of this website or these Terms — including questions about their existence, validity, or termination — shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by a mutually agreed-upon arbitration service under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, with arbitration conducted in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.

"Your complaints or problems are important to us. You will never be retaliated against for speaking up."


01

What Is a Grievance?

Policy 3.200.1

A grievance is a concern relating to client care conditions or to the relationship between a client and The Wright Agency® or a caregiver, in which the client believes that he or she has been wronged and wants the wrong corrected. Grievances include problem areas in the delivery of care that appear to threaten the health, well-being, or dignity of a client.

The Wright Agency® believes every client has the right to complain and make their views known without fear of reprisal. Exercising this right will never result in reduced service hours, changed care assignments without your consent, or any other adverse consequence from this Agency.

Complaints may be submitted about any aspect of your care or your experience with The Wright Agency®, including but not limited to: direct care worker conduct or performance; scheduling or punctuality; communication from staff or management; billing concerns; or any situation in which you believe the Wright White Glove Standard™ was not met.

Complaints may be submitted verbally or in writing at any time. There is no form required and no deadline for filing.

The Grievance Process — Step by Step

Policy 3.200.1

Every complaint — verbal or written — is taken seriously and follows this defined process. You will always know where your complaint stands and what happens next.

Day 0: Complaint received & logged

Day 1: Investigation begins

Day 10: Written response issued

Day 30: Appeal deadline (if filed)


Complaint Received & Documented

1. When a grievance is received — whether verbally or in writing — the Administrator or designee documents it in your client record and in the Administrator's grievance log. Every complaint, no matter how it is submitted, creates a written record.


2. Within 1 Business Day

Administrator Contact

The Administrator or designee will contact you or your representative to acknowledge receipt of your complaint and to gather any additional information needed to investigate fully. All parties involved in the complaint will be interviewed.


3. Ongoing

Investigation & Analysis

The Administrator evaluates all collected information — from all parties involved. All activities, investigation steps, and analysis are documented in both the Administrator's log and in your client record. No complaint is closed until all available information has been reviewed.


4.Within 10 Days

Written Response & Decision

Each written or verbal grievance receives a written response from the Administrator within 10 days. The response explains the decision rendered by the Agency and notifies you of your right to appeal. A copy of the decision is filed in your client record and noted in the Administrator's log.


5. Corrective Action

Resolution & Follow-Up

Where corrective action is required, the Administrator ensures: (a) the issue is addressed in a timely manner; and (b) follow-up is conducted at a recommended time to confirm the effectiveness of corrective actions taken. All resolution and corrective actions are documented.

Your Right to Appeal

Policy 3.200.1

If the complaint cannot be resolved to your satisfaction through the Administrator's decision, you have the right to appeal.


Appeal Process

Step 1: Notify the Administrator in writing that you wish to appeal the decision. There is no required form — a letter, email, or written note is sufficient.

Step 2: The Administrator will submit your appeal to the Agency's Board of Directors for independent review.

Step 3: The Board of Directors will review your appeal and issue a written response within 30 days of the Agency's receipt of your appeal request.

Step 4: The appeal response will be filed in your client record and noted in the Administrator's log.


You are never required to exhaust the internal grievance process before contacting external regulatory agencies. At any point, you may contact the Pennsylvania Department of Health or other agencies listed in Section 5. The Agency will not retaliate against you for contacting external agencies.

Client Satisfaction Reviews

Policy 3.190

The Wright Agency® conducts proactive client satisfaction reviews on a regular schedule — not only in response to complaints. These reviews are part of The Wright White Glove Standard™ and are required by Pennsylvania home care regulations.

Every 90 Days

Service Review

An assessment of your satisfaction with the specific services implemented in your Care Plan. Conducted in person, by phone or virtually at first review; may be conducted by phone or mail in subsequent reviews (minimum one home visit per year). Reviewed and signed by the Agency Manager.


Annually

Customer Service Review

A broader survey of your satisfaction with The Wright Agency® as a whole — including staff responsiveness, caregiver quality, billing practices, and the value of services. May be submitted anonymously. The Agency provides assistance to complete this survey if requested.


What the Agency Does With Your Feedback

Satisfaction review results are used to: determine whether the Agency is meeting its mission and obligations; assess the need for improvements in care delivery or customer service; plan corrective actions for identified shortfalls; and establish quality improvement goals consistent with the Agency's Continuous Quality Improvement policy. Any issue identified in a satisfaction review is addressed in a timely manner and followed up at the recommended time to confirm effectiveness.


Your right to participate: Every client or authorized representative has the right to participate in satisfaction reviews and to submit responses anonymously. You are never required to participate — but your feedback directly shapes how we serve you and every other family we work with.

Direct Care Worker Employment Status Disclosure

Required Posting 5 of 8

Pennsylvania law requires home care agencies to disclose the employment status of the direct care workers who provide services to consumers. 28 Pa. Code § 611.57(a)(7).

The client is not responsible for these obligations.


As the employer of record, The Wright Agency® maintains liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage for all caregivers during the performance of services. Clients are not responsible for employment taxes or workers' compensation coverage for Agency-placed caregivers.

Legal Notices & Compliance Disclosures

 

Notice 01 of 05


Notice of Privacy Practices

Effective: January 1, 2025 · Reviewed: May 2025

HIPAA-Adjacent45 CFR § 164.52028 Pa. Code § 611.57HHS OCR 2026

Important framing: The Wright Agency® is a non-medical personal care agency. As a non-medical provider that does not electronically transmit health information in connection with standard HIPAA-covered transactions, The Wright Agency® may not constitute a "covered entity" as defined under 45 CFR § 160.103 of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Accordingly, this Notice is published voluntarily — consistent with our commitment to The Wright White Glove Standard™ — and does not create or imply a HIPAA-covered clinical relationship. This framing is consistent with our Privacy Policy (Section 9) and Terms & Conditions (Section 2).

The Wright Agency® is committed to protecting the privacy of all information entrusted to us by clients, families, and care partners. This Notice describes how we handle personal and health-adjacent information in connection with care services, and sets out the rights of clients and their authorized representatives with respect to that information.


Our Privacy Commitment — Five Core Principles

1. No disclosure without authorization. We will not share, discuss, or disclose any information about a client's care situation, health circumstances, or family dynamics with any external party without a signed written authorization from the client or their authorized representative. No exceptions for convenience. No exceptions for referral sources. No exceptions for social pressure.

2. Minimum necessary standard. When information must be shared to coordinate care (for example, with a physician, hospital discharge planner, or VA benefits administrator at a client's direction), we share only the minimum amount of information necessary to fulfill the specific purpose. We do not share entire care histories when a summary will do.

3. Workforce confidentiality obligation. Every employee and caregiver of The Wright Agency® is trained on client confidentiality before their first day in a client's home. Breach of client confidentiality is grounds for immediate termination. This is not a policy we enforce lightly — it is a condition of employment.

4. Your records belong to you. Clients have the right to request access to the records The Wright Agency® maintains about their care, to request corrections, and to request an accounting of disclosures. See rights section below.

5. No retaliation. We will not retaliate against any client, family member, or employee for exercising any privacy right or filing any privacy concern or complaint.


Permitted Uses — When We May Share Information

Without a separate written authorization, The Wright Agency® may use and share client information only for the following purposes:

  • Care coordination. With your care team (physicians, therapists, specialists, discharge planners) at your direction, to coordinate services and ensure continuity of care.
  • Billing and payment. With your authorized payer (long-term care insurance carrier, VA benefits administrator, or other authorized third party) to the extent necessary to process payment for services rendered.
  • Safety emergencies. When necessary to prevent a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of a client or another person, and only to the extent necessary to address the emergency. Emergency services (911) will always be called first.
  • Legal requirements. When required by applicable Pennsylvania state law or federal law, court order, subpoena, or lawful government request — including mandatory reports under Pennsylvania's Adult Protective Services Act (35 P.S. § 10225.101 et seq.).
  • Internal operations. Among The Wright Agency® staff and caregivers assigned to your care, to the minimum extent necessary to deliver and supervise services.


Uses That Require Your Written Authorization

The following uses require your separate, signed, written authorization before we may proceed:

  • Sharing your information with any party not directly involved in your care
  • Using your name, story, or likeness in any marketing, testimonial, or promotional material
  • Disclosing your information to family members or friends not designated as your authorized representative
  • Sharing your information for research or educational purposes
  • Any other use not described in the "Permitted Uses" section above

You may revoke a written authorization at any time in writing. Revocation does not affect uses or disclosures already made in reliance on the authorization before revocation.


Your Rights Regarding Your Information:


Right to Access

Request a copy of the records The Wright Agency® maintains regarding your care. Requests honored within 30 days.


Right to Correct

Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete information in your care records. We will respond within 30 days.


Right to an Accounting

Request a list of disclosures we have made about you to third parties outside of routine care operations.


Right to Restrict

Request restrictions on how we use or share your information, beyond those already described in this Notice.


Right to Confidential Communication

Request that we communicate with you in a specific way or at a specific location (phone only, home address only, etc.).


Right to File a Complaint

File a concern or complaint with us directly, or with the PA Department of Health or HHS Office for Civil Rights — with no retaliation.


Substance Use Disorder Records — 42 CFR Part 2

In alignment with 2026 HHS guidance, we note: to the extent The Wright Agency® ever receives substance use disorder (SUD) treatment records about a client from a federally-assisted treatment program (governed by 42 CFR Part 2), those records carry heightened protection. Such records may not be used or disclosed in civil, criminal, administrative, or legislative proceedings against an individual without (1) the individual's written consent or (2) a qualifying court order. The Wright Agency® does not routinely receive or maintain SUD treatment records.


Changes to This Notice

The Wright Agency® reserves the right to change the terms of this Notice at any time. Changes will apply to all information we hold. The current Notice will always be available at thewrightagency.info/legal-notices and upon request at our office.

Notice 02 of 05

Accessibility Statement

ADA / WCAG 2.1 AA · Effective: January 1, 2025


ADA Titles II & IIIWCAG 2.1 AASection 504ACA § 1557Pennsylvania HRA

The Wright Agency® is committed to ensuring that our website — thewrightagency.info — is accessible to all people, including individuals with visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, and other disabilities. Accessibility is not a compliance checkbox for us. Families searching for care for an aging parent at any hour, in any circumstance, deserve to find us and reach us without barrier. That is a value, not a regulation.


Our Accessibility Standard: We are working to achieve and maintain conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA — the current accessibility standard referenced by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and adopted as the binding technical standard for digital content under the DOJ's 2024 ADA Title II rule. We also reference WCAG 2.2 AA criteria as an aspirational target for continuous improvement.


Legal Framework

ADA Title III requires places of public accommodation — including service businesses and their online presence — to provide effective communication and equal access to individuals with disabilities. The Wright Agency® recognizes and upholds these obligations.


Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs receiving federal financial assistance. To the extent applicable to our operations, we comply with Section 504.


Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (43 P.S. § 951 et seq.) prohibits disability-based discrimination in places of public accommodation in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.


ACA Section 1557 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in health programs or activities. To the extent applicable, we comply. See Notice 03 (Non-Discrimination) for fuller coverage.


What We Have Done

The following accessibility measures have been implemented or targeted for implementation on thewrightagency.info:

  • Descriptive alt text on all images and non-text content, written per our naming convention (what is shown + brand context + keyword where natural)
  • Color contrast compliance: White (#FFFFFF) on Wright Red (#CE0400) meets WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratio requirements (4.5:1 minimum for normal text). Gold (#C9A84C) is never used as text on red backgrounds.
  • Font size minimum of 16px for all body text; no public-facing text below 12px
  • Tap targets of 44×44px minimum on all mobile interactive elements, per WCAG 2.5.5
  • Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3), landmark roles, and ARIA labels on navigation and forms
  • Keyboard navigability — all interactive elements (buttons, links, forms, navigation) are accessible without a mouse
  • Tap-to-call phone links on all mobile display of our phone number, reducing access friction for motor-impaired users
  • Wright Wellness Library™ PDFs are targeted for screen-reader tagging via Adobe Acrobat Accessibility Checker (Properties → Description)
  • No auto-playing media that could disrupt assistive technology users
  • Form fields associated with their labels and providing accessible error messages


Known Limitations & Ongoing Work

We acknowledge that this website may not yet achieve full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance across all pages and content types. Legacy content, third-party embedded tools (including the GoDaddy website builder interface), and some PDF documents may contain accessibility gaps we are actively working to address. Accessibility is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time fix.

Areas of active remediation include: ensuring all Wright Wellness Library™ PDF downloads are screen-reader tagged; verifying caption availability for any future video content; and auditing the contact and consultation forms against WCAG 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships) and 3.3.1 (Error Identification).


Request an Accessible Format

If you encounter any content on this website that you cannot access due to a disability, or if you need any information in an alternative accessible format (large print, audio description, plain-text version, or other format), please contact us. We will provide the requested information within five (5) business days of your request at no charge.

We are a care agency for aging adults. Many of the families who find us are supporting parents with vision impairment, hearing loss, or cognitive changes. We build this site knowing that our users may be managing those same challenges themselves. That is not an obligation. It is a reason.

Notice 03 of 05

Non-Discrimination Notice

Civil Rights · Service Access · Language Access · Effective: January 1, 2017

  • ACA § 1557                                 
  • Title VI  CRA 1964
  • ADA Age Discrimination Act
  • Section 504
  • Pennsylvania HRA


The Wright Agency® does not discriminate. We serve every family. We hire every qualified person. We hold the same Standard for every client in every home. The Wright White Glove Standard™ has no exceptions based on who you are.

The Wright Agency® complies with applicable federal and Pennsylvania civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, religion, creed, ancestry, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, familial status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law in the provision of its services, programs, or activities.


Non-Discrimination in Care Services

The Wright Agency® provides in-home care services without discrimination. We do not exclude any person from receiving care services based on any protected characteristic. We do not provide a lower quality of care, assign less-qualified direct care workers, or reduce service hours based on race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, religion, or any other protected status.


This commitment is not contingent on payment source. Clients whose care is funded through VA benefits, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, or private pay receive the same Wright White Glove Standard™ — because the Standard does not change based on how a bill is paid.


ACA Section 1557 — Non-Discrimination in Health Programs

To the extent The Wright Agency® participates in any federal financial assistance program covered by Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. § 18116), we comply with its non-discrimination requirements, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in covered health programs or activities.

Consistent with 2024 ACA Section 1557 final rule requirements (45 CFR Part 92), and in accordance with the July 5, 2025 compliance deadline: we do not discriminate in our services; we provide language assistance and auxiliary aids free of charge; we provide reasonable modifications for individuals with disabilities; and we have designated a contact for civil rights concerns. Note: Court orders have stayed certain gender-identity-related provisions of the 2024 rule in certain jurisdictions; this Notice reflects compliance with all provisions currently in legal effect.


Language Access — Limited English Proficiency (LEP)

The Wright Agency® serves communities across western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio, where families speak diverse languages. We are committed to meaningful communication access for all families. If you or someone you are inquiring about has limited English proficiency, please contact us at (724) 979-6438 and we will make reasonable efforts to provide language assistance for your initial consultation at no cost to you.

Key documents, including care plans and service agreements, may be available in other languages upon request. We will work with you to identify an appropriate interpretation or translation resource.


Disability Accommodations

The Wright Agency® provides reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities in connection with the intake process, care planning, communication, and service delivery. If you or a family member requires an accommodation — including accessible communication formats, sign language interpretation, or modified procedures — please contact us and we will work with you to meet your needs without additional charge.

See Notice 02 (Accessibility Statement) for full details on website and digital accessibility accommodations.


Pennsylvania Human Relations Act

The Wright Agency® complies with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (43 P.S. § 951 et seq.), which prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation on the basis of race, color, religious creed, ancestry, age, sex, national origin, handicap or disability, use of guide or support animals, and other protected characteristics under Pennsylvania law.

Anti-Harassment Policy

The Wright Agency® maintains a workplace free from harassment based on any protected characteristic. Harassment includes unwelcome conduct — verbal, physical, or visual — that creates a hostile, offensive, or intimidating work environment. This policy applies to all employees, caregivers, contractors, and third parties interacting with our team.

Any employee who believes they have experienced or witnessed harassment or discrimination is encouraged to report it immediately to Danielle C. Wells, MHHS, at (724) 979-6438. Retaliation against any person who makes a good-faith complaint is strictly prohibited and will itself be treated as a violation of this policy.


Wage & Hour Compliance

The Wright Agency® complies with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq., and all applicable Pennsylvania wage and hour laws, including the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act (43 P.S. § 333.101 et seq.) and the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law (43 P.S. § 260.1 et seq.). All caregivers are compensated at or above applicable minimum wage, and overtime is compensated in accordance with law.


Background Check Notice

Consistent with Pennsylvania's requirements for home care agencies (28 Pa. Code § 611.52), all direct care worker candidates undergo required background checks including Pennsylvania State Police criminal history checks and FBI fingerprinting. Background check decisions are made in compliance with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq., and applicable Pennsylvania law. We consider all qualified applicants, including those with criminal histories, consistent with applicable ban-the-box and fair-chance hiring requirements.


E-Verify

The Wright Agency® participates in the federal E-Verify program to verify the employment authorization of new hires, consistent with applicable law. Participation does not constitute a limitation on the hiring of any protected class of individuals and is applied uniformly.


Direct Care Worker-Specific Protections

Home care workers in Pennsylvania are protected by a range of state labor laws. The Wright Agency® complies with all applicable provisions including those related to scheduling, travel compensation, right to organize, and domestic worker protections where applicable. We treat every direct care worker as a professional — not as a commodity — because The Wright White Glove Standard™ begins with how we treat the people who carry it into every home.

AI & Chatbot Transparency Disclosure

Artificial Intelligence · Content Creation · Chatbot Use · Effective: January 1, 2025



The Wright Agency® uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools in specific, defined ways in connection with the operation of this website and the creation of some content. We believe families deserve to know this. We also believe it does not diminish what we have built — because Danielle C. Wells, MHHS conceived, directed, reviewed, and approved everything that carries The Wright Agency® name.


One foundational truth: AI generates text. Danielle generates the Standard. Every piece of content on this website that carries the voice, the mission, and the conviction of The Wright Agency® was conceived by a person — a founder who built this agency because she saw what families were losing when no one showed up the right way. AI is a tool. The Wright White Glove Standard™ is a choice.


How AI Is Used on This Website and in Our Content

The Wright Agency® uses AI tools — including large language model assistants — in the following specific contexts:

  • Content drafting assistance. AI tools may assist in drafting initial versions of website copy, blog posts, legal notices, wellness guides, and other written materials. All such drafts are reviewed, edited, and approved by Danielle C. Wells or designated team members before publication. AI-drafted content that does not pass our 5-Gate Content Quality System is rewritten or discarded.
  • SEO and metadata. AI may assist in drafting page titles, meta descriptions, and alt text. All final versions are reviewed for accuracy, brand voice compliance, and trademark symbol correctness before publication.
  • Gold Standard Puzzle Series™ content assistance. AI tools may be used to assist in generating word search grids, crossword clues, and puzzle structures for The Gold Standard Puzzle Series™. All word lists, themes, wellness tips, and written content (including Danielle's personal letters and forewords) are human-authored. AI assistance in puzzle generation is disclosed in copyright registrations as required by the US Copyright Office.
  • Wright Wellness Library™ guides. AI may assist in drafting wellness content. All final guides are reviewed for medical accuracy, brand voice, and appropriate disclaimers before distribution.


What AI Does NOT Do on This Website

  • AI does not make care recommendations or clinical assessments of any kind
  • AI does not respond to client or family inquiries on behalf of The Wright Agency® — all communications are handled by human team members
  • AI does not access, store, or process any personal information submitted through this website's contact or consultation forms
  • AI does not make hiring decisions for caregiver positions
  • AI does not determine pricing, scheduling, or care placement decisions


Chatbot Disclosure

This website may use a third-party chatbot or automated messaging tool (including GoDaddy's embedded chat interface or similar). If a chatbot or automated response system is active on this website:

  • You will be notified that you are communicating with an automated system, not a human, before providing any personal information
  • You will have the ability to request a human response at any time
  • Chatbot conversations will not be used to make care eligibility determinations or clinical recommendations
  • All personal information collected through a chatbot interface is subject to our Privacy Policy

Consistent with the 2024 ACA Section 1557 final rule (45 CFR Part 92), which addresses non-discrimination in the use of patient care decision support tools and AI: The Wright Agency® does not use AI tools in any way that discriminates against clients, applicants, or families on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability.

We do not use AI-generated clinical decision support tools in connection with care delivery. If we ever adopt AI tools that influence care decisions, we commit to: evaluating those tools for discriminatory outputs before deployment; monitoring for bias on an ongoing basis; and maintaining human oversight of any AI-influenced decision affecting a client's care.


Copyright & AI — Our Policy

The Wright Agency® follows current US Copyright Office guidance (as of 2025) on AI-generated content. Human creative decisions — including the concepts, direction, selection, editing, and approval of all content — are copyrightable. Pure AI output alone is not. All content published under The Wright Agency® brand reflects the human creative decisions of Danielle C. Wells and designated team members, who conceived and directed the creative process throughout.

Where AI assistance has been used in producing copyright-registered works (including volumes of The Gold Standard Puzzle Series™), AI involvement is disclosed in the "Limitation of Claim" section of the copyright registration, consistent with US Copyright Office requirements. Trademark filings are unaffected by AI use.

We maintain documentation of human creative decisions, prompts used, and editorial choices made for all AI-assisted content, consistent with our internal copyright evidence protocol.


FTC Disclosure Compliance

To the extent any content on this website or associated social media channels was produced with AI assistance and involves an endorsement, material connection, or commercial claim, applicable FTC endorsement guidelines are observed. Danielle C. Wells's disclosure of her role as founder and owner of The Wright Agency® in connection with promotion of The Gold Standard Puzzle Series™ or any affiliated product constitutes a material connection that is disclosed verbally or in writing on the relevant platform.


Our standard for AI content is the same as our standard for everything else: if a competitor could publish it unchanged, we rewrite it. If it does not sound like Danielle, it does not go out. If it does not close with "We Show Up Wright.™" — it was never finished.

Disclosure 2 of 4 · Caregiver Applications

When You Apply for a Direct Care Worker Position

This disclosure applies to every application or employment inquiry form submitted through the Careers page at thewrightagency.info, the Wellsky application portal, or any other form through which you express interest in employment with The Wright Agency®.


TCPA FCRA EEO 28 Pa. Code § 611.5128  Pa. Code § 611.52

When you submit an application for a Direct Care Worker position with The Wright Agency®, two important things happen simultaneously: we use the contact information you provide to reach out about your application, and we notify you upfront that Pennsylvania law requires us to conduct criminal background clearances before you may begin working in a client's home.


What You Consented to When You Submitted Your Application

"By submitting this form, you consent to be contacted by The Wright Agency® at the phone number and email address you provided, including by text message using manual or automated technology, regarding your application and future employment opportunities. You are not required to consent to automated messages as a condition of applying. Reply STOP to opt out of texts. Message and data rates may apply. Submission of this form does not constitute a job offer or contract of employment. Employment is contingent upon completion of required background clearances and is at-will at all times."


What This Means for You as an Applicant

  • We will contact you about your application using the phone number and email you provided. This may include text messages using automated technology, but only if you did not opt out.
  • Opting out of texts does not affect your application. Consent to automated messages is never a condition of employment consideration.
  • Submitting this application is not an offer of employment. The Wright Agency® extends employment offers in writing, separately, after the full hiring process is complete.
  • Pennsylvania law requires background clearances.Before you may work in any client's home, you must provide the required Pennsylvania clearances. A separate written authorization will be provided to you before any background check is ordered. See Background Check Disclosure below for full details.
  • The Wright Agency® is an Equal Opportunity Employer.No employment decision is made based on race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic. See our EEO Statement.


Required Notice Under Pennsylvania Law (28 Pa. Code § 611.52): Employment with The Wright Agency® requires a criminal background check, ChildLine verification (where applicable), and/or FBI fingerprinting clearance as required by Pennsylvania law. A separate written authorization will be provided to you, and signed by you, before any background check is conducted by a third-party consumer reporting agency or state police agency. You will not be required to sign a combined application-and-disclosure document — the background check disclosure stands alone, as required by federal law.

When You Download a Resource or Subscribe to Our Wellness Content

This disclosure applies to the Wright Checklist™ download form, Wright Wellness Library™ PDF request forms, and any other form through which you provide your email address to receive a downloadable resource from thewrightagency.info.


When you provide your email address to receive a free resource from The Wright Agency®, we use that address to deliver the content you requested.

Part II · Direct Care Worker Employment

Direct Care Worker Background Check Disclosure

If you are applying for or currently hold a direct care worker position with The Wright Agency®, this section explains your rights and our legal obligations regarding background clearances — under both federal law and Pennsylvania home care licensing regulations.


FCRA · 28 Pa. Code § 611.52 · Pennsylvania Law


Why We Conduct Background Checks — and What That Means for You

Pennsylvania law requires all licensed home care agencies to verify that direct care workers have no disqualifying criminal history before they enter a client's home. The Wright Agency® is legally required to conduct these checks — and federally required to tell you about them in writing before we order one.


FCRA 15 U.S.C. § 1681 28 Pa. Code § 611.52  ChildLine 23 Pa. C.S. § 6344 OAPSA


The Wright Agency® serves vulnerable adults in their homes. The families who trust us with their loved ones expect — and deserve — assurance that every direct care worker who enters their home has been thoroughly vetted. Pennsylvania law (28 Pa. Code § 611.52) requires us to verify three categories of clearances for direct care workers. Federal law (the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681) governs how we must inform you and obtain your consent before doing so.


Here is what those clearances are, why they are required, and what your rights are throughout the process.

The Three Pennsylvania Clearances

 

1. PA State Police Criminal History (PATCH) Required for all applicants who have been Pennsylvania residents for 2 or more years before applying. Renewal: Every 60 months.

2. FBI Fingerprint Clearance (IDEMIA/IdentoGO) Required for applicants who lived outside Pennsylvania in the past 2 years, and for all caregivers assigned to homes where any person under 18 resides. This clearance requires an in-person appointment — The Wright Agency® schedules and pays for it. Renewal: Every 60 months.

3. ChildLine Certification (PA DHS) Required for caregivers who will serve clients under age 18, or serve clients in a home where a person under 18 resides. Renewal: Every 60 months.


The Wright Agency® orders and pays for your required clearances. Your responsibility is straightforward: when your FBI fingerprint appointment is scheduled, you must appear in person at the IdentoGO location — that step cannot be done remotely or on your behalf. For all other clearances, we handle the coordination. We will give you full instructions, walk you through every step, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks." 


Provisional Employment

Pennsylvania law permits The Wright Agency® to hire you on a provisional basis while your clearances are being processed — but only if you sign a written affirmation stating that, to the best of your knowledge, you are not disqualified from employment based on any criminal record prohibited under 6 Pa. Code § 15.143. This affirmation is a separate document that will be provided to you at the time of hire.


Pennsylvania Clean Slate Law: If your criminal record has been automatically sealed under Pennsylvania's Clean Slate Law, that sealed record will not appear in PATCH results for eligible offenses. The Wright Agency® will not take adverse employment action based on any sealed record and will not attempt to obtain sealed records through any other means.

FCRA Required Document · Federal Law


Notice of Background Investigation — Your FCRA Rights

The Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681b(b)(2), requires that this notice be provided to you as a standalone document before any consumer report (background check) is obtained from a third-party consumer reporting agency. This notice stands alone — it is not combined with your application, your employment agreement, or any other document.


FCRA § 1681b(b)(2) Standalone Document Required CFPB Summary of Rights


Notice of Background Investigation

FCRA Standalone Notice · Document A

The Wright Agency® · 823 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd · Farrell, PA 16121 · (724) 979-6438


Notice to Applicant

In connection with your application for employment or referral as a direct care worker with The Wright Agency®, the Company may obtain a consumer report (background check) about you from one or more third-party consumer reporting agencies (CRAs) for employment purposes.


The consumer report may contain information about your character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living, and may include: criminal history records; sex offender registry checks; identity verification; employment history verification; education verification; professional license verification; and such other information as may be relevant to your employment as a direct care worker serving vulnerable adults in their homes.


This information may be obtained at any time after you apply and, if you are hired, during the course of your employment to the extent permitted by applicable law.


Your Rights Under the FCRA

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.) gives you specific rights in connection with the procurement of consumer reports for employment purposes. A summary of your rights under the FCRA, published by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), will be provided to you along with this notice as required by federal law. You have the right to request the name, address, and telephone number of any CRA that provided a report about you.

This document contains only the FCRA disclosure. No other information appears on this page. A signed copy will be retained in your personnel file.


If We Receive Information That Concerns Us — Your Adverse Action Rights


If The Wright Agency® receives background check results and considers taking an adverse employment action — declining to hire you, withdrawing a conditional offer, or removing you from a placement — we are required by federal law to follow these steps before any final decision is made.


01

Individualized Assessment First. Before any decision, we evaluate the nature and gravity of the offense, the time that has passed, and how it relates to the specific caregiver role. A blanket exclusion based on any criminal record is not our practice and is contrary to federal EEOC guidance.


02

Pre-Adverse Action Notice — Before Any Final Decision. You will receive: (a) a copy of your background check report; (b) the CFPB's Summary of Your Rights Under the FCRA; and (c) a written notice that we are considering an adverse action and identifying what information is at issue. You will have a reasonable opportunity — at minimum 5 business days — to dispute any inaccuracy before a final decision is made.


03

Dispute Process. If you believe information in the report is inaccurate, you have the right to contact the consumer reporting agency directly to file a dispute. The CRA has 30 days to investigate. We will not finalize an adverse decision while a legitimate dispute is pending.


04

Final Adverse Action Notice — If the Decision Stands. You will receive a written final notice identifying the CRA, stating that the CRA did not make the decision, and confirming your right to obtain a free copy of your report within 60 days and to dispute its accuracy. For decisions based on Pennsylvania State Police records, we will provide information on how to appeal to the PA State Police: (717) 783-5592.


Your right to the CFPB Summary of Rights: The official "A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act," published by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, is provided to every applicant along with this notice and again with any pre-adverse or adverse action notice. It is available at consumerfinance.gov/consumer-tools/credit-reports-and-scores or by calling the CFPB at 1-855-411-2372.
