Garbo believes in creating a more equitable online background check platform focused on the reporting of violent, harmful behavior without perpetuating inequities seen within the justice systems. 

We worked with experts and advocates across social, gender, and racial justice to develop a universal Offense Reporting Policy. This is an iterative process that will change — please continue to check back for updates to our Offense Reporting Policy. 

To learn more about what offenses we filter out and why, visit our offense-filtering summary, located here.

Garbo’s Offense Reporting Policy system is built using machine learning. While the model is continuously being updated and improved, there may occasionally be an offense that appears on our platform that should be filtered out. 

If an offense appears that you believe should be filtered out, you can provide feedback on any record directly within Garbo or contact us at  help@garbo.io and we will investigate.
