How We Source Data

Our sources

Every finding names its source on the face of the report. These are the categories we draw on today.

• Telephone numbering-plan data and live carrier lookups: whether a number is valid, its line type, network and region.
• Crowd-sourced caller-ID directories: the name, photo and social handles other people have saved a number under. Labels, not verified identity, and shown as such.
• Public-record aggregators for United States numbers: name, age, address history, other numbers, relatives and associates.
• Leaked-database records: whether a number appears in a known breach, and the non-secret fields found beside it. Passwords and hashes are discarded before anything is stored and never shown.
• United States sex-offender registries, searched by name once a name is found for a United States number.
• Publicly reported email breaches, DNS records and profiles people published themselves (for email lookups).
• A language model (Google Gemini) that writes the summary at the top of a report from the findings above and nothing else.

How we present it

Every finding carries a source label, a confidence score (0–100), and a last-updated date. If the available data is thin, we say so rather than guess. We never fabricate results.

What we don't do

• No real-time or GPS location tracking.
• No facial recognition.
• No access to private accounts, messages, or devices.
• No guaranteed results.
