ASAAnti-Scam Arsenal

Digital footprint scanner

A guided walk-through to discover what's publicly available about you online — and a personalized action plan to reduce it. We don't crawl anything; you click through each source. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Your name, email, and other inputs below are kept in this tab only — they are never sent anywhere. Closing the tab discards them. Only the per-check progress (booleans) is saved to localStorage so you can come back later. Reset anytime.

We can't crawl your name across the internet for you — that's both a privacy risk (the inputs would have to leave your browser) and a terms-of-service risk on most platforms. The guided walk-through is the honest tool: it teaches you to do checks you can keep doing as new information appears.
