ALL CLIENTS WITH REQUESTS TO LOCATE
MISSING PERSONS WHICH ARE NOT BUSINESS

All clients with requests to locate missing person's which are not business-related or associated with legal action are thoroughly vetted prior to accepting the assignment. We have the duty and ethical obligation to maintain a subject’s safety after finding him and will take appropriate measures to ensure that this happens. Here is a copy of the “Subject’s Right of Refusal” clause we add to our retainer agreement when applicable:
“If this investigation is an attempt to locate a person (family member, adoption, reunion, former family member, friend or significant other), for a non-commercial purpose that does not fall with permissible purpose guidelines of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I understand I will not receive the subject’s whereabouts or personal information until they have signed a waiver authorizing the release of this information to me. If the subject declines the release of his or her information, you authorize (Backtrack Investigations) to release your home address, email address, telephone number or other contact information to the subject for the purpose of contacting you directly. In any case, I understand that I will still be liable for the cost of the investigation conducted whether the subject authorizes the release of their information or not.”
“The data provided in the final investigative report may be derived from third-party commercial databases and information aggregation services and will be specifically identified as provided by a third-party. As a result (Backtrack Investigations) cannot warrant the comprehensiveness, completeness, accuracy, or adequacy for any particular use or purpose of the information provided and expressly disclaims all warranties, express or implied, as to any matter whatsoever. Provider will not be responsible for any loss or damage caused using this data.”
