@yourhandleLive public-platform checks, with Google dorking on standard scans when configured. We do not create search-query logs or sell search data.
Results may be cached in memory for 10 minutes. Signed-in username reports and browser search history are retained. Comparison snapshots you save and cleanup checklists stay in this browser; each has a clear control. IP-based rate limits, daily keyed IP hashes and hosting request logs support abuse prevention.
Sign-in keeps your account ID, email, display name, creation time, scan allowances, plan/payment references and saved username reports.
We never sell personal data or share it for another party's marketing. Authentication, hosting and payment providers process account data. Google Analytics and advertising may process IP addresses and cookies; our analytics configuration excludes search values.
LeakCheck email lookups run over HTTPS, on the fly, without application caching or account database retention.
Other email sources receive the identifiers needed to answer a lookup. Each provider has its own privacy policy. Recent searches and investigations you save can remain in this browser.

Use MyRecon for a social media username search, public profile lookup or an audit of accounts you own. Enter a known handle in the tool above, review the reported profile links and confirm each match at its source. A matching username is a lead, not proof of identity.
Search results distinguish found, not found and unknown checks. Blocks, timeouts and ambiguous responses remain unknown. A missing public profile does not guarantee that a handle is available to register.
Start with the digital footprint checker for email and usernames, then follow the steps to reduce your online footprint. Use the private audit worksheet to track confirmed accounts and completed changes. Watch the short captioned research guides for a walkthrough. Browse the site directory or watch the MyRecon introduction.

A digital footprint check audits your public online exposure by scanning registered usernames, checking whether your email was involved in data breaches, and identifying leaked credentials. See our digital footprint audit guide.

No. A site may block, rate-limit, rename, or restrict a profile, and some services may not be supported. Treat an unavailable or missing result as inconclusive unless the source provides a verifiable reason.
No. A matching username is only a lead. Confirm important conclusions with independent public evidence and keep uncertain links unconfirmed. MyRecon does not access private accounts or restricted content.
