Last Updated: September 5, 2026
1. Scope
Blue Dog Investigations LLC recognizes that investigative inquiries may involve confidential and sensitive information.
This Privacy Policy describes our practices concerning information collected through bluedoginvestigations.com, Website forms, communications, and related business interactions.
Investigative records created or obtained after formal engagement may also be governed by investigative agreements, applicable law, court orders, evidentiary obligations, licensing requirements, and professional responsibilities.

We may collect:
Names and contact information;
Telephone numbers and email addresses;
Business or organization information;
Consultation and inquiry information;

Cookie and analytics information; and
Other information reasonably provided in connection with an inquiry or engagement.
3. Investigative Information
When lawfully retained, Blue Dog Investigations may receive, collect, observe, research, document, or develop information reasonably related to an authorized investigation.
Such information may include public records, photographs, video, witness information, business information, online information, social-media information, investigative observations, research findings, reports, and other lawfully obtained information.
4. Purpose of Processing

Evaluate potential assignments;
Respond to inquiries;
Verify client information;
Identify conflicts or legal concerns;
Establish and administer engagements;
Conduct authorized investigative services;
Communicate findings;
Produce reports;

5. Disclosure
Blue Dog Investigations does not sell confidential client or investigative information for third-party advertising purposes.
Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to authorized clients, attorneys, professional advisors, contractors or service providers, courts, government authorities, law enforcement, or other legally appropriate recipients.
Disclosure may also occur where required or permitted by subpoena, court order, warrant, law, legal process, contractual obligation, or legitimate protection of legal rights.
6. Confidentiality Limitations
Although reasonable safeguards are maintained, no Internet transmission, email system, contact form, cellular network, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should not assume that an ordinary Website inquiry creates privilege or absolute confidentiality.
7. Data Retention
Information may be retained for periods reasonably necessary to satisfy investigative, evidentiary, contractual, legal, licensing, insurance, accounting, dispute-resolution, security, or legitimate business purposes.
A request for deletion may therefore be subject to lawful retention requirements and exceptions.
8. Privacy Requests
Where applicable law provides access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection rights, requests may be submitted to:
info@bluedoginvestigations.com
We may verify identity and authority before responding.
Certain information may be exempt from a request or may need to be retained where permitted or required by law.
9. Third-Party Providers
Blue Dog Investigations may use third parties for Website hosting, analytics, communications, payments, scheduling, security, storage, and related business functions.
Third parties may maintain separate privacy policies and practices.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures intended to protect information under our control.
No security measure eliminates all risk, and Blue Dog Investigations cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, cyberattack, transmission failure, or other security incident will never occur.
11. Children
Our Website is not directed to children under 13 for purposes of collecting personal information online.
12. International Visitors
Information submitted from outside the United States may be transferred to and processed within the United States.
Additional rights available under applicable international privacy laws will be addressed where legally required.
13. Changes
We may revise this Policy as our Website, business practices, technology, or applicable requirements change.
