At your request

Please bring as much information as you have

The initial information is where we start an investigation. If you already have enough information to clarify the target, it saves your time and money. Also, please don’t combine the facts and assumptions. Once requesting us, please do not try to get information by yourself. If the target notices your action around him/her, it might be more difficult to get the evidence.

Please make sure not to bring information about investigation

We protect all the information related to clients privacy, request contents, and the target privacy. In the same way, we ask clients to agree the contract of confidentiality.

We do not accept any requests related to crime action and discrimination.

If we judge the request as criminal or discriminatory, we do not accept it. Also, if the request is from people or organizations related to anti-social, we do not accept.

Investigation is just one of facts for making a decision

The evidence we provide at the end of investigation might be far from what you expected, because we obtain the information for you to make a decision, not proof what you expected.

Our evidence report only tells the truth

We provide the evidence report with the truth that we have obtained during the investigation. It won’t tell wrong or fake facts.
