Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is a powerful tool. At Idenfy, we believe that with great power comes great responsibility. We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all our OSINT activities. This page outlines the principles that guide our work.
We only access data that is publicly available and legally accessible. Our data collection methods are designed to be proportionate to the goals of our investigations, ensuring we do not gather excessive or irrelevant information. We respect all applicable laws, including data protection and privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
We are transparent about our data sources and methods whenever possible. We believe in being accountable for our work and have internal processes to review our OSINT practices regularly.
We collect and process only the data necessary for a specific, legitimate purpose. We do not engage in mass surveillance or indiscriminate data collection. Every search is conducted with a clear and justifiable objective.
Even though information is in the public domain, we recognize that individuals have a right to privacy. We handle all personal data with care and respect, considering the potential impact on the individuals involved. We strive to avoid undue intrusion into people's private lives.
We employ robust security measures to protect the data we collect and process. Access to our systems is strictly controlled, and we use encryption and other security best practices to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure.
