We collect information to provide better services to all our users. The types of information we collect include:
When you create an account, we collect personal information such as your name, email address, and account credentials.
If you make a purchase (subscription or credits), we collect payment information via our secure payment processors, Stripe (for card payments) and Plisio.net (for cryptocurrency payments).
We automatically collect information on how the platform is accessed and used. This may include your IP address, browser type, and device information.
We use Amplitude for product analytics and session replay to understand usage patterns and improve our platform.
We use Google Analytics to understand usage patterns and improve our platform.
We employ a distributed infrastructure to ensure speed and security:
- Database: Hosted in London.
- Storage (R2): Located in Europe.
- Network: Distributed globally via Cloudflare Workers.
- Search Servers: Located across Europe, notably in Finland.
Your research data is stored securely. Deleting a search from your history permanently removes all associated data (results, extracted data) from our database and storage servers instantly. We also offer an Auto Delete configuration for automated data management.
We use trusted third-party services to operate our platform:
- Cloudflare: Hosting, security, and content delivery.

- Amplitude: Product analytics and session replay.
- Google Analytics: User behavior analytics.
- Resend: Transactional email delivery.
- Stripe: Payment processing for subscriptions and credits.
- Plisio.net: Cryptocurrency payment processing.
- Google Gemini & Other AI Models: Artificial Intelligence processing for summaries and chat features.
Our mapping services are self-hosted.
Osintly includes optional AI-powered features such as AI Summaries and ChatIA.
- Data is sent to AI services (like Google Gemini) only when you explicitly trigger an AI action.
- Your research data may be processed by these third-party AI services to generate the requested output.
- We prioritize user control and transparency regarding AI interactions.
Osintly is committed to compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.
Legal Basis for Processing:
- OSINT Data: Our platform aggregates data that is publicly accessible on the internet. We process this data based on our legitimate interest in providing security research, educational tools, and situational awareness.
- User Data: We process your account and payment data to perform our contract with you (providing the service) and to comply with legal obligations.
International Transfers:
While our primary data storage is located in Europe (London and EU), we use global service providers (such as Google, Cloudflare, and Supabase) which may involve data processing outside the EEA. We ensure these transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or adequacy decisions, to ensure your data remains protected.
Osintly acts as a search engine and aggregator of publicly available information.
Right to Removal (Blacklist):
If you wish to have specific results regarding your personal information removed from Osintly's search index and API, please contact us at contact@osint.ly with the necessary identification documents.
Important Notice:
Please be aware that Osintly only aggregates data found publicly on the internet. Removing data from our platform does not remove it from the original source, the public web, or other third-party platforms. We have no control over the original sources of this data.
Inactive accounts are retained for an indefinite period. However, if an account remains inactive for an extended time, certain data may be deleted.
You can request the deletion of your account or download a copy of your data directly from your account settings at any time.
There is no strict minimum age to use Osintly, as OSINT tools are open to everyone.
However, users may be exposed to sensitive data or content not suitable for minors. We strongly recommend parental guidance and permission for users who are minors.
We implement robust security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Despite our efforts, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, but we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
