What's covered in a Sweep
These are the destinations we search and file against. We checked each URL on November 7, 2026. Some people-search companies block automated visitors; where that happened we say so. We still use the company's own public opt-out path in a regular browser.
A Sweep is not a promise that we will find you on every site. It is a promise that we will look, record what we find, and file the official request for each match.
Tier 1: free lookup pages that often rank for a person's name. Tier 2: paid background-check brands. Tier 3: work-email and sales databases. Tier 4: larger data wholesalers. Tier 5: free government or industry preference tools we walk you through.
