DeepSearch FAQ
27 August 2026
Not a background check. Short answers on sources, Instagram, and how this differs from people-search sites.
Is DeepSearch a background check?
No. DeepSearch searches publicly available web sources. It is not a consumer reporting agency and it is not a criminal record product. Learn more → People search vs background check.
Can I use it for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance?
No. Those are FCRA-covered decisions. Use a licensed screening provider. Public-web research is the wrong tool. Learn more → People search vs background check.
Does the person get notified when I search?
No. Lookups stay on your device workflow. The person is not notified. Learn more → Dating safety: public-web research.
Can it open private Instagram or Facebook accounts?
No. Private accounts stay closed. Public mentions may still appear as a tile you have to open and check. Learn more → How to find someone on Instagram.
How do I find someone on Instagram?
If you have the handle, open instagram.com/username. If you have a name, cross-check public pages, then open the Instagram tile on the social grid. Learn more → How to find someone on Instagram.
What is reverse username lookup?
You take one handle to Instagram, TikTok, X, GitHub, and Reddit. Same string is a lead, not proof it is the same person. Learn more → Reverse username lookup.
What does the digital presence score mean?
The sample card reads 9.0, Very high digital presence. That is how visible public pages are. It is not a credit score. Learn more → Check your digital footprint.
Is DeepSearch the same as Spokeo?
No. Spokeo-style sites compile consumer records. DeepSearch queries the live public web. They solve different jobs. Learn more → DeepSearch vs Spokeo and people-search sites.
Where does the data come from?
Public web sources: public profiles, mentions, images, articles. DeepSearch does not hack platforms or access private accounts. Learn more → How to find someone online.
Is there a subscription?
The app is free to download. Paid plans unlock full or unlimited access depending on the plan and renew until you cancel in the store settings. Learn more → Privacy policy.
