THE PRODUCT

What Fingerprint is.

Fingerprint is a search engine for public data. Social Search takes a username or an email address and checks it against 700+ platforms in parallel, streaming matches back while the search is still running. People Search is the separate workflow for names, and it queries public-record providers.

It exists because the collection step of OSINT work is slow by hand. Checking one handle against hundreds of sites is an afternoon of browser tabs, so Fingerprint collapses it into one query. Security teams map exposure with it, investigators follow leads with it, and a lot of people simply search themselves.

THE MODEL

Results are pulled live.

When you run a search, the query goes out to the platforms at that moment, and whatever is public right then is what comes back. Results stream in as each platform answers. If a profile is deleted tomorrow, tomorrow’s search won’t find it.

Most people-search sites work from a purchased database: records bought in bulk, warehoused, and resold as lookups. Fingerprint doesn’t compile or maintain a database of personal information. There is no warehouse of people here to resell, which is exactly why the opt-out can be instant.

THE LINES

What we don’t do.

Some of it is architecture and some of it is policy. All of it is written into the Terms, where you can hold us to it.

SOURCES

No private access.

Search results come from publicly available sources and search providers. No hacking, no bypassed logins, no scraping behind authentication, nothing you couldn’t reach from a browser yourself.

FCRA

No screening decisions.

Fingerprint is not a consumer reporting agency. Using results for credit, insurance, employment, housing, or tenant decisions is banned by the Terms, and the ban is enforced with termination.

SALES

No data sales.

Personal information is never sold, rented, or traded. No advertising profiles, no reselling search results, no training models on your queries. Software subscriptions are the entire business.

REMOVAL

No removal runaround.

The email opt-out is automated and immediate: confirm a code sent to your inbox and the address stops appearing in results. No fee, no phone call, no paperwork.

YOUR DATA

Where the data lives.

The privacy policy, compressed and pointed in both directions.

If you use Fingerprint

Account. An email address and a bcrypt-hashed password, or Google sign-in. That's what an account is made of, and the privacy policy lists the rest.

History. Searches save to a history in your dashboard, your own audit trail. History can be switched off in settings.

Transport. Every request runs over TLS. Passwords are never stored in plaintext.

Read the privacy policy
If you appear in results

The source. What a search finds lives on the source platform's public page. There is no Fingerprint profile page about you, and no dossier assembled in the background.

Your email. The opt-out excludes it from search instantly, confirmed by a code from your inbox.

Anything else. The removal form goes to a person, who verifies it and processes the removal.

OPERATIONS

Who runs Fingerprint.

Fingerprint is independently built and operated from the United States. It isn’t a rebrand of a people-search conglomerate, and it isn’t owned by a data broker with an inventory to move. The people who build it are the ones who read the contact inbox.

The business model is deliberately narrow: paid plans for the software, and nothing else. Nothing in the results is resold, and nothing about you is the product.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Fingerprint a data broker?
No. Fingerprint is a software company, and the product is a search engine. Results are pulled live from their original public sources at the time of your search, and we don’t compile or maintain our own database of personal information. Nothing is sold: not data, not results, not user information. If you want your email address excluded from search, use the instant email opt-out.
Where do search results come from?
Social Search reads publicly available pages on the source platforms at the moment you search, and People Search queries public-record providers. Results reflect the source at that moment: when a profile changes or disappears, the next search reflects that too.
Do you sell my information?
No. We don’t sell, rent, or trade personal information, we don’t build advertising profiles, and we don’t train machine learning models on your searches. The business is software subscriptions. The privacy policy spells all of this out.
Can I use results for employment or tenant screening?
No. Fingerprint is not a consumer reporting agency, and results are not consumer reports. Using them for credit, insurance, employment, housing, tenant screening, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose is prohibited by section 2 of the Terms of Service and results in immediate termination.
How do I remove my information?
For an email address, the instant opt-out blocks it from search the moment you confirm a code from your inbox. For anything else, use the removal request form. Because results are read live from source platforms, removing something at the source removes it from future searches everywhere.
