Ethical AI Policy

A private eye's lawful craft is public record work: registries, court and corporate filings, company filings, domain and web history, public professional profiles. The tool is scoped to that kind of material and to nothing else. Scope choices narrow the report; none of them widen the methods.

Each finding carries a confidence rating and the sources it was drawn from. That is deliberate: it lets you check the claim rather than inherit it. A finding you cannot open and confirm is a finding you should not use. Red flags are prompts for further enquiry, not conclusions about a person's character.

Names collide. The AI can attach a public record belonging to a different person with a similar name, especially where you supplied only a name and a city. Add the identifiers that make a subject unique, such as date of birth range, registry ID, email or an exact domain, and expect to disprove matches as often as confirm them.

The AI writes from what it already knows. It does not query registries, court roll databases or search engines live, and its knowledge has a cut-off. So an empty section does not mean nothing exists, and a stale filing may have been resolved since. Treat the dossier as a starting index, then run the checks against the real source.

Research a subject because you have a legitimate reason to, not because you can. Output must not drive an automated decision about a person, and any significant decision affecting someone's livelihood, housing, safety or reputation needs a named human who reviewed the underlying sources and can explain the outcome.

Reports are timestamped, marked as AI-assisted, and keep a version history. Re-running an investigation saves the earlier findings rather than destroying them, so a record of what was known and when survives. Labels and notes on versions are yours, and are recorded as your commentary.

Enter only the identifiers you genuinely need to identify the subject. Cases live in your own browser, are not attached to an account, and are not distributed anywhere by the app. Delete what you no longer need; a dossier about a person is personal data wherever it sits.

Nothing here substitutes for a safeguarding response. In an emergency, or where someone is at risk, contact your local emergency services or a relevant safeguarding authority.
