Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is issued by PrivateInvestigators-UK.com and governs the manner in which information submitted to us via this website is gathered, organised, safeguarded, transmitted, and otherwise dealt with. It applies whenever you engage with our referral service or otherwise provide personal information through digital or telephonic means.
Scope of Application
This policy extends to all individuals who, by their own volition, submit details by way of our online enquiry form, electronic correspondence, or equivalent communication. It encompasses not only the initial act of submission but also the subsequent handling of data insofar as it is necessary to facilitate the referral process.
Collection of Information
When you interact with our website, we may request and retain details including (but not limited to) your name, telephone number, electronic mail address, and a description of the investigative requirements you wish to have considered. This information is accepted on the understanding that it is voluntarily provided and accurate to the best of your knowledge.
Use of Information
Information provided by you shall be utilised for purposes that include, without limitation:
- Assessing the nature of your enquiry and determining an appropriate referral pathway;
- Introducing your matter to one or more independent private investigators or agencies that appear suitable;
- Communicating with you for the purposes of clarification, assistance, or progress updates;
- Maintaining records that demonstrate the operational functioning of our referral service.
Sharing and Disclosure
In the ordinary course of business, details you provide may be shared with trusted investigators for the sole purpose of facilitating an introduction. These investigators are independent entities, responsible for their own conduct, agreements, and subsequent handling of information. We may also disclose information where compelled by applicable law, regulation, or order of a competent authority.
Nature of Responsibility
For clarity, PrivateInvestigators-UK.com determines how information is initially collected, arranged, and transmitted for the referral process. However, once transmitted to an independent investigator or agency, responsibility for that information rests exclusively with the recipient party, and they shall provide their own explanations of data use and protection as they deem appropriate.
Retention of Information
Information supplied will be kept for such duration as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes set out above, and for a reasonable period thereafter for administrative, legal, or audit reasons. Following the expiry of such periods, data shall be erased or anonymised to the extent practicable.
Individual Rights
Individuals who provide information through this website may, within reason and subject to verification, request access to their details, request corrections where inaccuracies are identified, or request that their information be deleted from our records. To exercise such rights, please utilise the general contact mechanism provided on the website.
Children
Our services are intended for adults. We neither target nor knowingly accept personal details from individuals under the age of 18. Any such details, once identified, shall be removed without undue delay.
Amendments
This Privacy Policy may be revised, extended, or otherwise altered from time to time in order to reflect operational practices or to take account of new legal or regulatory requirements. The most current version will always appear on this page, with changes taking effect immediately upon posting.
Acceptance
By continuing to use this website or by submitting an enquiry, you signify your acceptance of the terms and principles set out in this Privacy Policy. Should you dissent, you are respectfully advised not to proceed with use of the service.
