Understanding GDPR in Investigations

Investigations often require handling sensitive personal data, from addresses and phone numbers to financial or employment records. Under the Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR, private investigators must ensure all information is gathered lawfully, with strict safeguards in place.

At Panthera Investigations, we:

• Collect only what is necessary, relevant, and proportionate to the investigation.
• Store data securely, with encryption and restricted access.
• Use lawful and ethical methods — no hacking, blagging, or unlawful surveillance.
• Provide clients with clear reports while protecting the privacy of individuals.

Any evidence obtained unlawfully may be inadmissible in court and could expose clients to liability. Our GDPR-compliant approach ensures findings can be relied upon with confidence.
