Check What’s Exposed About Me

Most people never realise how much information about them is publicly accessible — until it’s misused.

A simple name, username, email address, or photograph can often be enough to build a surprisingly detailed picture of someone’s identity, habits, associations, and location history.

This service answers one question clearly and calmly:

What could someone discover about me using only publicly available information?

What “exposed” actually means

Exposure doesn’t require hacking, spying, or insider access.

In many cases, it comes from:

  • Old accounts you forgot about

  • Public records and registries

  • Social media connections and metadata

  • Data broker aggregation

  • Breaches and historic leaks

  • Friends, family, or business links

Individually, these may seem harmless.
Combined, they can create risk.

What this assessment looks at

A “What’s exposed about me” assessment typically examines:

  • Your public digital footprint

  • Search engine visibility and correlation

  • Social media exposure and linkages

  • Historical content persistence

  • Data broker and aggregator presence

  • Public records and open registries

  • Credential and breach indicators (lawful sources only)

  • Association and network discoverability

The focus is not volume — it’s what connects, persists, and can be misused.

Why this matters in the real world

Publicly available information is routinely used to:

  • Enable social engineering and impersonation

  • Identify home locations or routines

  • Target family members or associates

  • Apply pressure during disputes or litigation

  • Prepare harassment, stalking, or media action

  • Inform physical surveillance or tracking

An exposure assessment evaluates likelihood and impact, not fear.
