PRIVACY POLICY – Integral Investigations
Personal Information
Integral Investigations clients provide us with personal information for the purpose of surveillance investigations, private investigations, security consultancy and other related investigative work such as, but not limited to skip tracing, missing persons investigations, infidelity investigations, criminal defence investigations, CCTV Installations and Security Risk Assessments.
Personal information is kept and stored securely whilst an investigation is considered ‘live’ or currently running.
We do however, destroy all personal information relating to surveillance or factual based investigations after the completion of an assignment conducted for the client after which time we do not retain private data on any of our clients or third parties or any other person.
Prior to any investigation commencing, the senior leadership team within Integral Investigations conducts a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) on the Subject person or organisation to ensure that a lawful basis exists for an investigation and to what extent investigations should be carried out.
Any information, personal or otherwise that is obtained as a result of an investigation and required for court will be provided to the necessary authority when requested by way of Subpoena, Warrant or other formal Court Action, this will include but is not limited to, video, audio, notes, emails, transactions and investigations reports and statements.
We require all clients to advise us in advance if this is to be a likely outcome so as to ensure this information can be passed to the relevant authority when required in a timely manner and to ensure the information is released to the appropriate person/investigator from the authority overseeing the investigation.
We do not use any private information for marketing and do not provide it to any third party.
