Effective Date: September 20, 2026
S. Stevens Investigations respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, retained, and disclosed when you visit this website or submit an inquiry.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
Information You Provide
When you use the contact form, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, requested service, and message. Please do not submit Social Security numbers, financial account information, medical information, government identification numbers, passwords, or other highly sensitive or confidential information through the website.
Information Collected Automatically
The website and its service providers may automatically collect limited technical information, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser and device type, referring page, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit or form submission. Cookies or similar technologies may also be used for website operation, security, spam prevention, and basic performance or traffic measurement.
HOW INFORMATION IS USED
Information may be used to:
• Respond to inquiries and communicate with you;
• Evaluate whether S. Stevens Investigations can assist with a requested service;
• Maintain business and correspondence records;
• Operate, secure, and improve the website;
• Prevent spam, fraud, misuse, or security threats; and
• Comply with legal obligations or protect legal rights.
Submitting an inquiry does not create an investigator-client relationship. Such a relationship is established only through a separate written agreement.
HOW INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED
S. Stevens Investigations does not sell or rent personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Information may be disclosed:
• To website hosting, form-processing, email, security, spam-prevention, and technology service providers, including WordPress.com, Automattic, and Jetpack, as necessary to operate the website and process inquiries;
• To professional advisers when reasonably necessary;
• When required by law, court order, subpoena, or other lawful process;
• To protect the rights, safety, or property of S. Stevens Investigations or others; or
• In connection with a business transfer, if one occurs.
Third-party service providers process information under their own privacy policies and applicable agreements.
COOKIES, TRACKING, AND BROWSER SIGNALS
This website and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies for essential operation, security, spam prevention, and basic website statistics. You may control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling them may affect website functions.
S. Stevens Investigations does not independently track visitors across unrelated websites for targeted advertising. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to browser “Do Not Track” signals, this website does not currently respond to those signals. Service providers may collect technical information as described in their own privacy policies. Because S. Stevens Investigations does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, it does not maintain a separate sale or sharing opt-out program.
DATA RETENTION
Website inquiries and related communications are retained only as long as reasonably necessary to respond, evaluate requested services, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations. Information may be deleted or anonymized when it is no longer reasonably needed.
DATA SECURITY
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. However, no internet transmission, email system, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES
Depending on applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you submitted through this website. Requests may be submitted through the Get In Touch page or by calling 760-808-2704. Identity verification may be required before a request is completed. Certain information may be retained when required by law or reasonably necessary for business records, legal claims, security, or other permitted purposes.
S. Stevens Investigations will not discriminate against anyone for making a lawful privacy request.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
This website and its services are not directed to children under 13, and S. Stevens Investigations does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website. If such information is discovered, reasonable steps will be taken to delete it.
THIRD-PARTY LINKS
This website may contain links to third-party websites. S. Stevens Investigations is not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of those websites. Visitors should review the privacy policies of third-party sites before providing personal information.
INVESTIGATIVE AND CLIENT RECORDS
This Privacy Policy addresses information collected through this website. Information obtained after a client relationship is established, or during investigative work, may be governed by separate agreements, authorizations, professional obligations, and applicable law.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
This Privacy Policy may be updated when website practices, services, or legal requirements change. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
