FAQ
Common questions.
How does Sherlock find someone from a photo?
Sherlock looks at the face in your photo and compares it to images across social platforms and public records, then ranks the matches by how similar they look. A real search runs every time, and nothing is faked.
What happens to the photo I upload?
We use your photo to run the search and then delete it. We never add it to a public index, attach it to anyone else's profile, or sell it.
Are my search results public?
No. Your results are private to your account and only you can see them. We don't publish pages about the people you look up.
Is Sherlock legal to use?
Sherlock searches publicly available information for personal safety and verification. You're responsible for using the results lawfully. It isn't a consumer reporting tool, so it can't be used for employment, housing, or credit decisions.
Which platforms does Sherlock search?
We cover the major social networks, including Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, and OnlyFans, plus public records. We add more sources over time.
