Frequently asked questions
Answers about platform checks, API access, privacy, and plans.
What is OSINT Trace?
OSINT Trace helps security researchers, fraud investigators, and analysts check whether an email address, username, or phone number is associated with accounts on supported platforms. Use it only for lawful, authorized investigations. A match is a signal to investigate, not proof of identity.
Will the subject or target receive any notification when scanned?
No. Lookups evaluate passive, publicly exposed protocol endpoints without interacting with the subject’s active user sessions. Scanning an email, username, or phone number will never trigger a verification push, 2FA/SMS prompt, profile-view alert (such as LinkedIn or Instagram), or suspicious login alarm. Your analysis remains completely undetectable.
Are my search queries or target identities stored in your database?
We do not permanently archive or data-mine search targets. Single lookup queries are cached in volatile Redis memory solely for your authenticated investigation history and activity console. In compliance with global data protection standards (GDPR, POPIA), all phone numbers are stored pseudonymized with universal masking (+XX***XXX). You control your data retention window in Account Settings (24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days), and records are permanently purged upon expiry.
Which platforms are supported?
Individual checkers are available for Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, X (Twitter), Amazon, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn. The Social Media Checker covers a subset of these platforms. Available products and plan features are listed on the pricing page.
