FOR CHECKING YOURSELFPUBLIC SOURCES ONLY

What would a stranger find?
Investigate yourself first.

Recruiters, clients and new contacts search your name. Ossary shows which public pages connect to your profiles, which same-name results might be mistaken for you, and which gaps make your story unclear.

A fictional example

Start with what you actually want to know

  • “What does the public web say about my professional work?”
  • “Which same-name results could people confuse with me?”
  • “Do my portfolio, GitHub and LinkedIn tell the same story?”

Clues first, then connections

  • Your own profiles and the sites they link to.
  • Same-name results, labelled as probably someone else when they do not connect to you.
  • Dated statements in a timeline, so you can spot outdated pages.
  • Gaps, such as no public page stating your current role.

A detective with boundaries

  • Read private or locked accounts, messages or member-only pages.
  • Guess where someone lives or works when no public page says so.
  • Use data brokers, credit files or background-check databases.
  • Treat a shared name as proof that two pages describe one person.

Straight answers

Can Ossary remove pages about me?

Ossary does not remove content. It shows where pages are so you can update your own profiles or contact the publisher.

Is my search private?

Cases belong to your signed-in account. You can export or delete them, and there are no analytics scripts on the public site.
