Frencuently asked questions

How do you guarantee the confidentiality and security of clients' information?

Confidentiality is a fundamental principle in the work of private investigators. Clients must be able to trust that any information they share will be treated confidentially and will not be disclosed to third parties without their express consent.

Detectives are legally bound (as established by Article 50 of the Private Security Law) to maintain the confidentiality of the information obtained, as well as the data provided by clients. This means that under no circumstances can information be disclosed to persons unrelated to the case unless it is necessary to fulfill our duty (such as when discovering a criminal act during an investigation, in which case we are obligated to inform the competent authorities).

In addition, Delta has the necessary measures in place to protect confidential information stored electronically. This ensures that all systems and devices used to store and transmit data are completely secure.

A private investigator is a professional hired by individuals, companies, or lawyers to investigate and obtain information in various cases, such as infidelity, fraud, internal theft, suspicious behaviors, among others.

To do this, the detective uses various investigation techniques, such as searching for information in databases, surveillance and monitoring of individuals, taking videos and photographs, conducting interviews, and any other activity that helps gather evidence to resolve the assigned case.

The detective, in order to legally perform their investigative duties, must conduct their investigations within the bounds of the law and must record their activities in a corresponding Registration Book. Additionally, they must hold the relevant license, known in Spain as the Professional Identity Card (T.I.P.), issued by the Ministry of the Interior through the Directorate General of Police and the Civil Guard.

Yes, a detective can investigate criminal acts, but only when it is at the request of the affected party. That is, those crimes mentioned in the Criminal Code where only the aggrieved party, the victim, can initiate the legal action by filing a complaint.

At Delta, we have a highly qualified team, with degrees in Law and Criminology and Security Sciences from CEU San Pablo University in Madrid. Additionally, part of the team specializes in Cybersecurity, holding a Master’s degree in Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance in Cybersecurity from the IMF x Deloitte School of Cybersecurity, a leader in the Cybersecurity sector.

These services can be hired by both individuals (private persons) and legal entities (companies). The only legal requirement to initiate the investigation is to have a legitimate interest.

Legitimacy in the assignment refers to the condition that the client must meet, meaning there must be a relationship connecting the client (hiring party) with the subject of the investigation. This relationship can be of a professional, socio-economic, or familial nature.

Yes, this is established in Article 265.5 of the Civil Procedure Law (LEC), which states:

“Reports prepared by legally authorized private investigation professionals concerning relevant facts on which they base their claims. If these facts are not acknowledged as true, testimonial evidence will be taken.”

A detective’s report must be impartial, objective, based on facts and verifiable evidence, and must have been obtained legally.

No, as long as the hiring party can prove the legitimacy of the assignment, it is completely legal.

Yes. Our authorization allows us to carry out our detective profession throughout the national territory, as well as outside of it.

There is no set period, as it will always depend on the specific case. However, at Delta, we are committed to honesty and transparency with the client, which is why, after analyzing the case individually, a plan will be developed, always seeking the solution in the shortest time possible, as much as possible.

However, at this center, and especially for cases of a labor/fraudulent nature, we believe that it is necessary to conduct surveillance on the individual for at least three days in order to substantiate a routine/habitual behavior. It is not the same to prove that a person who claims to be suffering from pain is not, by obtaining images from one day, as it is to accompany the report with several days of evidence proving that such bad-faith behavior has been repeated on multiple occasions.

Yes, it can be proven, since after conducting surveillance on the individual, we will have obtained the relevant evidence documenting that this person regularly visits a specific establishment, where they are seen performing activities that could be classified as work-related, and therefore, such activity would be remunerated.

Of course, since we would be in one of the cases where it is proved that the legitimacy required by the Private Security Law exists.
In this case, a labor matter, the employer has the right to know that an employee is harming him in his organization.
