Privacy Statement
This is an information only website. Sterling Investigative Agency does not collect or otherwise maintain personal data from visitors to this site. If your case is accepted, be advised that we adhere to the strictest policies of confidentiality and will take every precaution to protect your information & identity. Due to the sensitive nature of information gathered about our investigative subjects, proof of permissible purpose may also be required from you.

Legitimate & Permissible Use of Information
Sterling Investigative Agency is a licensed investigative agency engaged in the gathering and dissemination of background information and consumer reports, and as such we abide by the regulations adopted by the Federal Trade Commission, to include the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, as well as the Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act. We will make efforts to ensure that our clients requesting sensitive information are ‘appropriate users’, and that the request for services serves a ‘legitimate purpose’. Requests for information will be reviewed to ascertain whether or not they fall under a permissible purpose. If applicable, only after the appropriate requirements are met, such as a Full Consumer Credit Report Release, etc., will we proceed. If in doubt, contact us for any requirements that a specific request may have to comply with. We reserve the right to deny the request(s) for any services if we deem that a legitimate and permissible purpose does not exist. Any public record information contained in our reports has been obtained through online public record sources or by personal visits to sources of such documents, such as the court of jurisdiction, deemed by us to generally be reliable. However, the client is on notice that these records are not always complete. The public agencies and other providers can and have missed some records and misfiled others. Background information in our reports should not be relied upon without independent verification. It should also be understood that there may be more than one person with the same name as the subject of the report, and only by fingerprint comparison can positive identification be made. Consequently, Sterling Investigative Agency cannot, and does not, guarantee the accuracy of the records reported in our reports, and accept no liabilities which may arise from the use of the same. Client must agree that any use of our reports, and the contained within, is in strict compliance with the F.C.R.A., and state and federal equal opportunity laws and regulations.
