Research tools for professionals
UserSearch adds context from public sources to the identifiers you start with. Begin with an email or phone number and see what the integrated data sources hold, with each result attributed to its source.
Use specialist Search types and integrated data sources to support lawful research, then corroborate material findings before relying on them or including them in client work.

Questions? Answers.
Discover the answers to frequently asked questions about our OSINT platform for research professionals.
How does your platform support my research efforts?
Pick the search type and module that match what you're starting with (an email, a phone number or another supported identifier) and UserSearch brings together what's publicly available. Coverage and refresh rates vary by source, so always corroborate what you find.
What kind of data can research professionals expect to see?
From an email or phone number you can surface public profiles, publicly shared images, linked accounts and other openly posted content, the kind of context that's useful for background research. It's all from public sources, and it's meant to give you leads to follow rather than final answers.
What's your platform's data retention policy?
We keep only what's genuinely needed to run the platform. Your results are saved only if you choose to save them. Otherwise nothing from your searches is retained.
Does your platform comply with data protection laws?
We'd rather confirm than claim. Email [email protected] and we'll verify any certification or compliance status you need before you rely on it.
Can your platform integrate with other research tools?
That depends on what you have in mind. A customer-facing API and connectors aren't part of the documented setup yet, so rather than overpromise, tell us what you're trying to connect and we'll be straight about what's possible today.
Results are investigative leads and should be corroborated
