Pretty sure before hiring they can check for criminal records.

Other than that, except when you were in a niche, no one will ever know it was you and the company is not allowed to tell others.

Where Iive, you have to provide those voluntarily and it is only allowed to ask for it, when you work with sensitive data or in sensitive environments.

That’s absolutely not true. The generally accepted policy is to only confirm dates of employment, conduct, and if they would rehire. The can share anything that isn’t a lie.
Additionally, if you commit sabotage you can have charges pressed against you. Serious ones with possible prison time. That would show up with even a rudimentary record search.

I guess it depends on where you live. I could imagine that in the US, you as an individual get way less protection than corporations. Where I live, spreading around that you are a criminal, would be itself a criminal offense, unless you are a person of public interest.
Criminal records have to be provided voluntarily and may not be asked for, if not strictly necessary.

And you bet your ass the company would share the court documents with anyone who asked.
