Social media investigation — what does the online profile really reveal?

Social media investigation — what does the online profile really reveal?

Social media often reveals more than people realise. We analyse online activities and document relevant information — legally admissible and GDPR-compliant.

Social Media Investigation

Social media have become an indispensable part of daily life. People consciously and unconsciously share information that reveals a great deal about their actual situation, activities and contacts. When you suspect that someone is not being honest — about income, lifestyle, relationships or health — a professional social media investigation can yield valuable and often decisive information. SAJ Recherche analyses online activities in a forensically sound manner and delivers legally admissible evidence.

What we investigate

What do we investigate?

We analyse publicly available online activities: profiles on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and X, posts, photos, check-ins and contacts, forums, review sites and marketplaces, and archived or deleted content. All findings are documented in a forensically sound manner with metadata, URLs, timestamps and screenshots for legal admissibility.

When is this relevant?

Social media investigation provides valuable information in alimony disputes (lifestyle inconsistent with declared income), partner investigations, insurance fraud, sick leave while the employee is active online, stalking via anonymous profiles, and legal disputes. We exclusively use public information — no hacking, no logging into third-party accounts.
