Tracing of Whereabouts | Person Search

When searching for a missing person, an absconding debtor, untraceable heirs or similar cases, the specialised detectives of Kurtz Investigations Saarbrücken and Saarland are on hand with their network of outstanding researchers and informants: +49 681 6029 0010.

Preliminary Investigations | Legitimate Interest

For a person search conducted by detectives, a legitimate interest in obtaining the information must exist. This means that the interest in locating the target person (TP) and in passing on their address must outweigh the protection of the TP’s personal rights. For this purpose, our detectives will ask you a number of questions which are not based on curiosity, but serve to ensure the existence of a legitimate interest. If such an interest does not exist, detective agencies are legally prohibited from determining a person’s whereabouts and forwarding them to third parties.

 

If there are compelling reasons to establish the TP’s place of residence (for example debtor evasion, maintenance fraud or paternity), our Saarbrücken investigators begin with preliminary research: When was the TP last seen, by whom and where? Does the TP own a vehicle (address tracing via registered keeper information)? Are friends or relatives of the TP known? What was the TP’s previous daily routine like? In a person search carried out by our detectives in Saarland, thorough research is always the top priority.

Following the Trail Using Various Parameters

Hardly anyone disappears without leaving a trace. After the preliminary research, our private investigators commence the actual search: Has the TP taken up employment at their new place of residence, registered a vehicle or opened a bank account? Is the TP registered on internet forums or social media and sharing their new whereabouts there in words or images? In addition, we maintain excellent contacts with authorities at home and abroad who support us in our searches. Our detectives pursue all of these leads and have thus been able to locate missing persons in the past with a high success rate.

 

As a private individual, searches often fail due to authorities and data protection laws. In cases of need, therefore, contact the qualified investigators of Kurtz Investigations Saarbrücken and Saarland: kontakt@kurtz-detektei-saarbruecken.de.

Investigations Also Possible Without Legitimate Interest – If the Sought Person Consents

If, for example, you wish to find former classmates for a school reunion, this does not initially constitute a sufficient legitimate interest that outweighs personal rights. Nevertheless, we can act on your behalf: Upon accepting the assignment, our Saarbrücken detectives determine the whereabouts of the target person and then request their consent to pass on the address. If the TP refuses, we are not permitted to forward the data to you.

 

Unfortunately, there have been cases in the past where clients plausibly asserted a legitimate interest, but during the course of the investigation we had to determine that the client was not acting in good faith and that there had never been a valid reason for the person search. In such a situation, Kurtz Detective Agency Saarland terminates the investigation immediately.
