​

Zookx Ltd t/as Private Detectives Corporation ('the Company', 'we', 'us' or 'our') is committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking violations in its own operations, its supply chain, and its products. We have zero-tolerance towards slavery and require our supply chain to comply with our values.

We work with a number of key direct suppliers, who provide us with goods, such as equipment for our premises, and services, such as intelligence data, IT software and marketing services.
 

Policies
