A check that fits real life.

Marketplace deals.

Meeting a buyer or seller you found online? See if their public details line up before you hand over cash or goods.

Renting or hosting.

About to rent to, or from, someone new? A quick public check adds peace of mind.

Help at home.

Hiring a caregiver, tutor or handyperson through a listing? See what's publicly consistent before they're in your home.

A first meeting offline.

Taking an online connection into the real world? A quiet check is a sensible first step.

Check in three steps.

1
Start with what they told you.
A name, a photo, or an email, whatever you already have. More inputs, sharper picture.
2
We search public sources, across countries.
We bring together public profiles, photos and mentions tied to that name, face or email.
3
You get a clear, source-linked summary.
See whether the public picture is consistent with what they told you, each result linked to where we found it.

Public clues, not a verdict.

A common name can return several people, and no match doesn't mean someone is hiding something. Always verify the source and use your own judgment.

Our ethics → ·Report abuse →

Before-you-meet questions.

Is this a legal way to check someone?

Yes, you're looking at public information to keep yourself safe before meeting or transacting. We only use public sources. It is not a background check and can't be used for hiring or housing decisions. Is it legal? →

How reliable are the results?

We link the source of every result so you can verify it. A common name may return several candidates with confidence labels, these are clues to check, not proof.

Will the person find out I checked them?

No. The search is private and silent, we never notify them.

I found nothing, is that bad?

Not necessarily. Many genuine people have a small public footprint. No match means we didn't find public results for that input, it isn't evidence of anything by itself.

Can I check using only a phone number?

Name, photo and email are the strongest inputs. We focus on public profiles, images and mentions; we don't return private contact details of third parties.

What do you do with the data I enter?

It's used only to run your check, then it isn't stored. It never enters our index, and we don't sell your searches.

Meet with a little more peace of mind.

A quiet, source-linked public check before you trust a stranger.
