Acceptable Use Policy
Rules for using Gotchu lawfully and respectfully — including face search and public exposure checks.
You may
- Search for lawful, responsible purposes.
- Review your own public footprint and whether your details appear in known public exposure indexes.
- Explore possible face matches and exposure indicators with honesty and care.
- Export your own notes and reports for personal use.
You may not
- Stalk, harass, threaten, or dox anyone.
- Attempt to access private accounts or bypass protections.
- Use Gotchu for discrimination, blackmail, or identity theft.
- Present possible matches or exposure indicators as proven identities.
- Use Gotchu as a consumer reporting tool — including employment, housing, credit, insurance, or similar regulated decisions.
- Redistribute raw breach dumps, passwords, or other secret material obtained through the service.
- Scrape, overload, or disrupt the service.
Public exposure checks
Text and identifier searches may return public exposure indicators (for example that an email or phone appears in a known public index). Gotchu shows limited identity fields and hides secrets such as passwords. Results are not a full data dump and are not legal proof of anything about a person.
Enforcement
Violations may lead to warnings, credit revocation, or account closure. Please practice good judgement — start with our Safety page, and use Data removal if you need an opt-out review.
