01AGREEMENT

Using the service

By using WhatsMyName.me, you agree to these terms and the applicable Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, stop using the service. Use it only where lawful and where you can accept these terms under the rules that apply to you.

02PERMITTED_USE

Research you may conduct

You may use the tools for lawful public-information research, checking your own exposure, or work you are authorized to perform. You are responsible for your lawful basis, the identifiers submitted, compliance with source rules, and how you use or share the findings.

03PROHIBITED_USE

Prohibited conduct

  • Harassment, stalking, doxxing, intimidation, unlawful profiling, or publication of unnecessary sensitive information.
  • Unauthorized account or private-data access, credential attacks, impersonation, or evasion of access controls.
  • Bypassing rate limits or CAPTCHA, disruptive automation, malware, or interference with this site or a provider.
  • Using an unverified result as the sole basis for employment, credit, housing, legal, or other consequential decisions.
04RESULT_LIMITS

What results do not establish

A username match is not proof of identity or account ownership. An email signal is not proof of mailbox control or a data breach. A missing result does not establish absence. Source changes, blocked requests, stale data, and false matches can affect any scan.

Verify important findings using the original source, dates, and independent context. Logs and confidence labels describe a technical check, not a certification about a person.

05ACCOUNTS_DATA

Your browser, account, and submissions

Keep access to your browser and connected account secure. Guest history may be linked to the current browser identifier. Choose Privacy Mode before starting a scan if you do not want it added to site history; its limits are explained in the Privacy Policy.

Submit only information you have a right to provide. Do not include secrets or unnecessary personal data in searches or contact requests. You permit processing needed to run the requested feature and handle your message as described in the Privacy Policy.

06EXTERNAL_SERVICES

Sources and intellectual property

Platforms, scan providers, search services, and linked sites operate under their own terms. Availability and returned information can change, and inclusion does not imply a partnership or endorsement. Respect source licenses, trademarks, and others’ intellectual property; these terms transfer no rights in third-party content.

07AVAILABILITY_LIABILITY

Availability and responsibility

The service is provided as available, without a promise of uninterrupted operation, completeness, or suitability for a particular decision. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim implied warranties and liability for losses arising from reliance on unverified results or unavailable third-party services. Nothing here excludes liability or statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Features and access may be changed, limited, or suspended for maintenance, security, provider restrictions, or misuse. These terms do not authorize access to a third party or override its restrictions.

08CHANGES_CONTACT

The date above identifies this version. We may revise these terms when the service or its requirements change; review the current terms before continued use. Questions, misuse reports, and concerns can be sent through the contact page or to [email protected].
