Frequently asked questions.
Will they actually look?
Some jurisdictions have a written policy. Everywhere else, individual investigators have the discretion. Either way it is not your call, and finding out during an investigation is the expensive version.
What if you find something I have to disclose?
You get time. Time to write the explanation, talk to a C&F attorney, and ask for removal before you file. Disclosed with context reads very differently from discovered.
Is my scan private?
Yes. Results go to you and nobody else.
Better than Googling myself?
Google shows the first page. We read 100+ sources, including data brokers and archives, and tell apart the people who share your name.
How accurate is it?
As accurate as the details you give us. Public records are full of people with the same name, so you confirm what is actually yours.
