What type of data may private databases accessible by a Licensed Private Investigator (LPI) contain?

Only public data
Comprehensive data
Proprietary data
Only court-related data

The correct answer is: Proprietary data

Private databases accessible to a Licensed Private Investigator may indeed contain proprietary data. These types of databases often gather extensive information from various sources, which can include unique data sets that are not available in the public domain. This proprietary data might encompass detailed records maintained by organizations, such as credit bureaus, insurance companies, and other private entities. While public data is certainly a component of what investigators can access, proprietary data significantly enhances the breadth of information available for investigation purposes. This data can be crucial for private investigators as it can provide deeper insights into subjects, including but not limited to financial histories, criminal background checks, and personal connections that are not readily available in publicly accessible databases. In this way, proprietary databases offer critical resources that assist private investigators in conducting thorough and effective investigations.
