Background checks for productions, events and artist teams
History checks for hiring, accreditation and access decisions, carried out in line with Brazil’s data protection law (LGPD).
What is a background check?
A background check is a review of a person’s history before a decision: hiring them, accrediting them or giving them access to an area or to content.
In entertainment, it can cover technical crew, vendors and anyone who will be in contact with talent or with unreleased material. The result is a clear report with points of attention and a recommendation for the decision.

Frequently asked questions
What is checked in a background check?
Identity and the consistency of the information provided, work history and education, court and administrative records, presence on restricted lists and corporate ties that could create a conflict of interest.
Are background checks allowed under Brazil's data protection law (LGPD)?
They can be carried out as long as there is a defined purpose and a legal basis. Chazan works with a stated purpose, lawful sources and controlled storage of the information. In employment hiring, labor law sets additional limits, and each case should be reviewed with the company’s legal team.
What is the difference between a background check and reputational due diligence?

Who should go through a background check on a production?
People who will have access to unreleased content, to restricted areas or to the routine of talent, such as technical crew, vendors and people in positions of trust.
What do I receive at the end?
A clear report with a risk rating, points of attention and a recommendation for the decision.
