Purpose
OsintX exists for serious cases. Many of our users help authorities find people and collect evidence. Some users work for an authority themselves. The tool is not a toy and it is not meant to find out where a private person lives.
Authorities and law enforcement
Police, prosecutors and government agencies can apply for verified access. We check the official email address, the organization and the role before we grant it. Requests from authorities go to law@osintx.io.
Your responsibility
You are responsible for every search you run. Make sure you have a lawful reason, follow the law of your country and the rules of your employer, and keep results only as long as you need them.
Data handling
Passwords stay masked in the interface. Anyone can ask us to remove personal data from our index through the content removal form, and we review each request by hand.
Enforcement
If we see abuse, we can suspend or close the account. Where the law requires it, we may share relevant information with the competent authorities. Refunds follow the terms of service.
Report abuse
If you think OsintX was used to harm you or someone else, write to contact@osintx.io or use the content removal form. Emergencies go to your local emergency number first.
