3SA-Silver Stiletto Security Agency LLC ("3SA," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, www.verifiedby3sa.com, or utilize our remote security consulting and investigative services.
As a credentialed, remote-first investigative firm, all of our services—including Skip Tracing, Digital Footprint Investigations, and Background Research reports—are offered nationwide across the United States. We maintain strict compliance with both state and federal privacy regulations.
02 Special Provisions for Nationwide Services & Digital Footprints
Because our investigative services—specifically our Digital Footprint Investigation (point-in-time OSINT snapshot)—rely heavily on manual verification and open-source intelligence (OSINT), we implement strict operational boundaries nationwide:
- Public and Open-Source Data Only: We gather, analyze, and synthesize public, semi-public, and open-source digital information. This includes, but is not limited to, public social media profiles, forum activity, historic public database records, domain registrations, and online marketplaces.
- Strictly Legal, Non-Invasive Methods: 3SA LLC strictly utilizes legal, non-invasive OSINT gathering methods. We never engage in unauthorized hacking, spyware deployment, or illegal pretexting to bypass security barriers or obtain private account data.
- Absolute "No-AI" Work Policy: We do not use artificial intelligence (AI) for any work-related tasks, casework, database analysis, or report writing. Every step of our investigative process is conducted entirely and manually by our lead investigator. This guarantees absolute data containment and ensures that no client-provided data, case notes, or subject information is ever exposed to, processed by, or leaked into public or private generative AI models.
- Remote Intelligence Boundary (Vehicle & Asset Locate): 3SA LLC does not perform physical asset repossession or field towing services.
03 How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect strictly to:
- Deliver, execute, and manage our investigative and security consulting services nationwide.
- Process payments, retainers, and deposits safely.
- Communicate securely regarding case updates (primarily via encrypted ProtonMail).
- Comply with our legal, regulatory, and surety bond obligations.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
04 State-Specific Consumer Privacy Rights (Nationwide Disclosures)
Because 3SA LLC operates as a nationwide remote investigative firm, we recognize and respect state-level consumer privacy laws across the United States. This includes, but is not limited to, the California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA), and other applicable state-level frameworks (such as those in Texas, Colorado, Connecticut, and Florida).
Depending on your state of residence, you may possess the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to Know/Access: You may request to know what personal data we have collected, used, or disclosed about you.
- Right to Correct: You may request that we correct inaccurate personal data.
- Right to Delete: You may request the deletion of your personal data, subject to legal and professional exemptions.
- Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: We do not sell your data or share it with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising, so no opt-out is necessary.
Critical Nationwide Exemptions for Investigative Files:
Under the CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, MODPA, and all other state-level consumer privacy statutes, strict legal exemptions apply to data processed by credentialed investigators. Specifically, consumer rights to access, delete, or opt-out do not apply to:
- Publicly Available Information: Information lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records, or widely distributed media (the core of OSINT gathering).
- Legal Proceedings and Claims: Personal data processed to exercise or defend legal claims, assist in active litigation, or comply with civil, criminal, or regulatory inquiries.
- Credentialed Financial/Credit Data: Information regulated under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) used for legitimate skip tracing and asset location.
To exercise any of your rights or submit an inquiry, please contact our secure email: 3sa-llc@proton.me.
05 Data Security and Confidentiality
We employ robust technical and organizational security measures to protect your sensitive files:
- Secure Communications: We utilize secure, encrypted email protocols (ProtonMail) for the exchange of all sensitive case details and final case dossiers.
- Secure Storage: All completed case files, target profiles, and raw research data are stored in secure, restricted offline networks—never on public or unencrypted cloud platforms.
- Strict Access Control: Only the Lead Investigator has access to your active case files.
06 Data Retention and Destruction
We retain client files and investigation materials only as long as necessary to fulfill the requested services, defend our professional findings in a legal or court setting, or comply with corporate insurance and surety bond requirements.
Once a case is closed and the final 3SA Written Intelligence Brief is delivered, all temporary, raw digital research data not required for legal or insurance record-keeping is securely and permanently purged.
07 Disclaimer of Accuracy: Errors, Omissions, and Misinformation
Investigative and intelligence gathering work inherently relies on information generated, maintained, and published by third parties. 3SA LLC implements rigorous manual verification protocols to ensure the highest possible standard of accuracy. However, clients acknowledge and agree to the following limitations:
- Third-Party Errors and Omissions: 3SA LLC relies on public records, civil and criminal court indices, registries, social platforms, and online footprints that may contain pre-existing clerical errors, omissions, or outdated entries. 3SA LLC is not liable for inaccuracies, errors, or omissions originating from these primary public and third-party sources.
- Protection Against Misinformation: Digital footprint analysis and open-source intelligence (OSINT) are subject to online misinformation, spoofed profiles, data leaks, and digital falsehoods created by the target or third parties. While 3SA LLC works manually to detect and isolate fraudulent digital data, we do not guarantee the absolute veracity of third-party internet postings or digital exhaust.
- Client-Provided Falsehoods: 3SA LLC is not responsible or liable for any investigative delays, false leads, or errors resulting from incomplete, inaccurate, false, or misleading intake information provided by the client or the client's legal representatives.
- Limitation of Liability: Our services are advisory and investigative. 3SA LLC makes no warranties, express or implied, as to the absolute completeness of the final report. Under no circumstances shall 3SA LLC's liability for errors, omissions, or misinformation exceed the total amount paid by the client for the specific service rendered.
- Client-Provided Vehicle Identifiers: For Vehicle & Asset Locate engagements, 3SA LLC is not responsible or liable for delays, false leads, or errors resulting from inaccurate, falsified, misread, or otherwise incorrect VIN, license plate, and vehicle description data supplied by the client. Verification of source identifier accuracy is the client's responsibility; intake misrepresentation may also compromise enforceability of the engagement's permissible-purpose attestation.
