Privacy awareness toolkit

See what the internet knows about you.

Your personal information is scattered across search engines, data brokers, and people-search sites. These tools let you find it — the same way anyone else could — so you can take action to remove it.

Only search yourself or someone who has given you permission. Using these tools to profile or harass others may violate laws and site terms of service.
This site collects no personal data. Your inputs stay in your browser — nothing is sent to a server, stored, or tracked. Read the full privacy notice →

Choose a tool to start

Most people run the Google Dork search first, then follow the handoff into the Direct Search to check the sites Google can't see.

Start here

Google Dork Search

Runs targeted search queries — called dorks — against Google to surface personal information already indexed publicly. Uses operators like site:, intext:, and filetype: to find results a normal search would miss.

  • Search by name, address, username, phone, or email
  • Run all queries in sequence with one click
  • Mark hits and get a live exposure score (0–100%)
  • Step-by-step removal instructions for Google results

100+ sites

Direct Site Search

Builds direct search URLs into 100+ people-search sites, social networks, and public records databases — the ones that block Google from indexing them. Enter your info once and open every relevant site with a click.

  • Data brokers: Spokeo, BeenVerified, TruePeopleSearch, FamilyTreeNow, and more
  • Social profiles: Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, GitHub, Venmo, Cash App
  • Public records: PACER, FEC donations, CourtListener, property records
  • Breach checks: Have I Been Pwned, DeHashed, IntelligenceX
  • Photos: reverse image search with Google Images, Yandex, TinEye, PimEyes

  • Location sharing audit for iOS and Android
  • Account security walkthrough (2FA, passwords, connected apps)
  • Stalkerware and tracker detection guidance
  • Habits and routines to keep privacy locked down
