A public-footprint check. Give it a name, a handle, an email,
a profile, or a domain — it walks the public web with Onion's own search stack
and lays out what a stranger can find, with a source link on every claim.
What this is for: checking your own
footprint, a public creator or business, or a handle someone handed you.
Verify before you act. Same-name strangers exist, search
snippets go stale, and a match here is a lead — not proof about a person.
What it never shows (either mode, by design): home or street
addresses, personal phone numbers, SSNs, exact dates of birth, financial data,
family or associates, current location, anything behind a login or paywall, and
anything out of leaked-data dumps or people-search brokers. Search snippets are
stripped of those patterns by the Bridge before they reach this page.
Sources: the public web (via the Onion Core Bridge), the public
domain registry (RDAP), the Wayback Machine (admin mode), and breach
notification metadata only — breach names, dates, and what kinds of data a
breach contained. Never breach contents: no passwords, hashes, or records, from
any source, in either mode. Nothing is scraped over Tor and no leak or
marketplace sites are touched — Tor here only hosts Onion's own services.
Lookups are not stored on any server; reports live in this tab until you clear
them (or save a case file, admin mode — stored only in this browser).
The deep tier: a bigger query sweep (name variations,
handle permutations, more platforms, public business & court-record mentions),
Wayback history, inline breach exposure, batch checks, and case files. Gated by
the Onion Core passcode — typed here, sent as a header, checked by the Bridge.
It is never stored, logged, or baked into this page. The never-show list
above still applies in full; the one difference is that contact details a subject
publishes on their own site or business listing may be shown, labeled as such.
Case files
Cases (subject inputs + generated report) are stored only in this
browser's local storage. The Bridge and the page's server store nothing.
BEFORE YOU RUN A CHECK — SIGN THE TERMS
This tool searches public sources only. It is
not a consumer report, and nothing it produces may be used to decide whether
someone gets a job, a home, credit, insurance, or any other benefit or eligibility.
Do not use it to stalk, harass, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone, and do not
use it to contact people who have not consented to be contacted. Use it only for a
lawful purpose: checking your own footprint, looking up a person who has consented,
or researching a public creator or business. A match here is a lead, not proof —
same-name strangers exist.
Admin addendum: deep mode casts a wider net — more
queries, more platforms, archive history, batch checks. The same terms above apply in
full, and the never-show list still applies. Admin mode also needs the purpose of this
session, in your own words:
Your name, the three ticks, and the date/time are stored ONLY in this
browser (local storage). Your signature is never sent to any server. If the terms
change, you will be asked to sign again.
