This term does not specifically relate to gathering information. Espionage: The act or practice of spying, typically by governments, but it is not a person. Informer: Someone who provides information, often to authorities, but may not do so secretly. Mole: A type of spy who has been planted within an organization to gather information over a long period, but it is more specific and narrower in scope than a generic "spy."
