This answer explains what can usually be verified, where the legal limits are and when it makes sense to involve a licensed investigation agency.

This question belongs to the area of Privacy protection. Help with suspected surveillance, harassment, wiretapping, information leaks or interference with personal space. If the situation is connected to Slovakia, a member agency can first assess whether the request is realistic, lawful and proportionate.

In practice, the first step is to define what needs to be verified, what information is already available and what legitimate interest exists. A private investigator should not encourage unlawful access to data or intrusive conduct; the work must remain proportionate, discreet and legally defensible.

If the case requires professional support, prepare the facts you already know: names, dates, communication, documents, screenshots, locations or any other relevant details. This helps the agency assess the scope, risks and expected result before any operational or analytical work begins.
