How MyTrace works

MyTrace is a defensive privacy tool. It analyzes only information that is publicly accessible and legally obtainable, and it is designed for authorized self-audits.

1. 1. You consent

   Nothing is scanned until you confirm you are auditing your own identity, or one you are authorized to audit. Consent is recorded with a timestamp.

2. 2. You describe the identity

   Name, location, profession and any handles or websites you choose to share. These extra signals exist to reduce false matches with people who share your name.

3. 3. We search public sources only

   Professional pages, news, blogs, public documents, community profiles and image contexts. No authentication attempts, no private data, no password or recovery flows.

4. 4. Every match explains itself

   Each finding shows its source, confidence level and the exact match factors behind it. You mark each one as you, not you, or uncertain — and the audit adapts.

5. 5. Exposure is scored transparently

   A 0–100 score built from visible point contributions: identity, contact, professional, social, document, historical, impersonation and aggregation exposure.

6. 6. You get a cleanup plan

   Prioritized tasks, drafted removal requests you review and send yourself, and verified links to official search-engine removal processes.
