Stratigent Inc.
Policy Statement

Privacy laws and their official interpretations continue to evolve. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) of 1999 places restrictions on the gathering of financial information. With a few rare exceptions, GLBA outlaws obtaining financial information by means of "pretext" or deception.

Stratigent Inc. is a legally defined business in the public interest. Therefore, all of the asset searches conducted either by or for Stratigent Inc. must be for a documented bonafide purpose : Court filing, required attorney letter of response, power of attorney, in association with court directed discovery process or other legally documented justification.

Any financial asset information obtained by Stratigent Inc. or our agents, is certified in writing to have been obtained "without pretext or deception and is in conformity with the letter and intent of the law".

Stratigent Inc. will not release account numbers except in the course of a Court mandated monetary Judgment; divorce and/or child custody/protection proceeding; or, with bonafide power of attorney.

With regard to address and telephone information gathered in the course of an investigation, Stratigent Inc. will not release address information to a client unless the client has an "Anti-Stalking authorization for Release of Information" form on file with Stratigent Inc.

Asset/Bank Research

Today's broad access to confidential financial information is being exploited for illegal and unethical purposes. Stratigent Inc. strives to operate its business for the protection and knowledge of those with legitimate, ethical and legal reasons to research and investigate.

Divorce actions and business breakups frequently result in attempts to conceal assets. To initiate these searches and investigations we require documentation of litigation in progress or other evidence of legal process.  Some search results (such as social security numbers and dates of birth) may be restricted due to privacy laws.

We trust that you, our valued clients and partners, understand our diligent efforts to conform to the law and protect you from legal jeopardy.
