Legitimate Interest in Address Investigations

As with all other forms of investigation, whether suspicion of infidelity or payroll fraud, a legitimate interest is a prerequisite for commissioning our Mannheim detectives to conduct an address investigation. For example, if you met someone while shopping or travelling by train and wish to see them again, but their address is unknown to you, we unfortunately cannot act for you, or only with restrictions, because the personal rights of the stranger outweigh your interest in a reunion. In this case, the protection of the target person against unauthorised use of personal data simply prevails. The only option would be to request the target person’s consent for the disclosure of their data once their address has been determined. The situation is different if someone has caused you harm. Whether it is a fleeing tenant who fails to meet their payment obligations, a driver who damages your vehicle, or someone committing property damage, for example through graffiti, a legitimate interest is given.

In such cases, we are happy to assist you in determining the perpetrator or their address. The more information you provide about the target person, the more effective and time-saving our work will be. Online research, such as monitoring social networks, our contacts with authorities, offices, and insurance companies, extensive database access, and many other investigative methods usually lead to the desired result. Please use our contact form for your inquiry or call our detective agency for Ludwigshafen, Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, and the entire Rhein-Neckar region. We provide initial consultation free of charge and without obligation.

Missing Person Searches: Research and Tracking Dogs

A subcategory of person investigations is missing person searches, in which Kurtz Detective Agency is arguably as experienced and – in some cases tragically – successful as no other German investigative service. Our IHK-certified private detectives from Mannheim determine the whereabouts of runaway children, seniors with dementia, abducted individuals, and more. Police authorities usually accept missing person reports only after 24 hours, yet this time window can be too long, potentially life-threatening for the missing person. Therefore, prompt commissioning of our experienced detectives is advisable.

We work extremely effectively with daily specially trained tracking dogs, so-called mantrailers, and their handlers. These dogs can follow human scent trails even after days or weeks and through extremely challenging terrain, such as flowing water. Nevertheless, the chances of success are naturally greater the sooner the dogs can pick up the trail – primarily because the paths travelled by the missing person grow longer over time, making tracking more complex. Daily training with various scent carriers under changing terrain conditions makes these dogs exceptional trackers. Our detective agency has a proven record of many successful operations in this regard.

If necessary, our Rhein-Neckar detectives will advise you. Contact us promptly if you wish to have a person located, so that we can explain the case-specific procedure and immediately take the necessary steps.
