Private detectives, court-admissible investigation reports

The Onatys Doc template designed for private investigators: chronological surveillance logs, time-stamped photographic evidence, regulatory compliance and GDPR. Work with total discretion, in the field, and deliver investigation files your client — or their counsel — will defend without hesitation.

Compliant and court-admissible
Encrypted data, hosted in France
Stealth mode, works offline
Your daily challenges

We understand the unique constraints of your trade

A private investigator's work demands timing rigor, evidentiary value, and total discretion at the same time. Onatys Doc was built for all three at once.

Discreet field data entry

A stakeout doesn't tolerate pulling out a notebook or a pen. Onatys Doc works silently on a smartphone, in dark mode, with no visible notifications. Your observations save with a few taps.

Flawless chronology

An approximate time means a case that collapses in court. Each log entry is time-stamped to the second, geolocated and digitally signed. The chronology becomes unassailable.

Court-admissible photo & video evidence

A photo without metadata can be challenged. Onatys Doc preserves the timestamp, GPS coordinates and original file fingerprint. The chain of evidence is preserved from capture to export.

Absolute confidentiality

Your investigations contain ultra-sensitive data (private lives, fraud, morals). AES-256 encrypted data, hosted in France, never used to train AI, exportable and deletable on request.

The ready-to-use template

Concrete benefits

Why private detectives choose Onatys Doc

Structured chronological log

Capture a fact in 3 taps: time, place, observation. The log builds itself automatically in order, with no risk of confusing two surveillance days.

Photos & videos as legal evidence

Each media item is timestamped to the second, geolocated, with a cryptographic fingerprint. No contestation possible on date, time or place of capture.

Optimized stealth mode

Dark mode, dimmed screen, no sound or vibration: your device stays invisible during a stakeout. Capture keeps recording even when the screen is locked.

Offline during stakeouts

Underground parking, rural zones, inside a vehicle: no network required. Everything syncs encrypted as soon as you regain connection.

Security & GDPR

AES-256 encryption, sovereign hosting in France, GDPR compliance built in, full audit log. Your investigations stay under your sole control.

Report ready as you leave

No need to head back to the office to write up. At the end of the mission, the signed PDF report is generated, ready to be handed to the client or their counsel.

Compartmentalized cases

Each file is sealed off from others. Permissions ensure a collaborator only sees the missions assigned to them.

Regulatory compliance

Licence number, accreditation mention, mission legal framework, mandatory mentions: all built into the template. Your reports respect the profession's code of ethics.
