## Key facts

- Lodestone Data is a data platform, not a consumer reporting agency. Data furnished is not a consumer report and may not be used for FCRA-regulated decisions (employment, tenant, credit, insurance).
- Access is restricted to credentialed business entities. Licensure, entity standing, and permissible purpose are verified before an account is activated.
- A permissible-purpose code is required on every individual search, not per account or per session. Requests without one are rejected before any upstream data call and are not billed.
- Pricing is a flat $5 per month account maintenance fee plus published per-search rates. There is no search minimum, no seat licence and no term or volume commitment. An access agreement is signed, but it carries no commitment and no termination fee. Volume tiers apply automatically. Sworn law enforcement agencies receive heavily discounted rates as a public service.
- A search that finds nothing is a no-hit. The documented negative is always delivered. Employment locates are free on a no-hit; enhanced evictions/suits/liens/judgments is reduced; most other products bill a no-hit at the same rate as a hit, because the search itself is what costs.
- Blocked requests are never billed but are always logged.
- Subject identifiers are stored hashed. Search results are purged on a retention clock; the search log is retained longer as the compliance record.
- Bank and brokerage account location is deliberately NOT sold through this platform at any price. It requires a human-reviewed permissible purpose and is referred to an independent licensed investigative agency as a separate engagement.
- Any search that comes back too thin to act on can likewise be escalated to that agency.
- Employment locates carry no charge at all when nothing is found.
