Why OSINT is a key to online safety

What is OSINT?

OSINT (pronounced Oh-SINT) stands for Open-Source Intelligence — gathering information from public sources like social media, websites, and public records.

How professionals use it

OSINT is used by private investigators, journalists, and even HR professionals for background checks, verifying facts, and uncovering important stories and information.

The power and risk of OSINT

As OSINT becomes cheaper and more accessible to everyone, criminals exploit open sources at scale because sourcing victim data is now cost effective for fraud.

Data discovery

Understand your online exposure with OSINT

Brightside's OSINT scanning reveals your online exposure across social media, breaches, and data brokers in minutes. This professional-grade investigative tool is now available to secure your privacy.

FAQ

Still have questions? Get in touch with our support.

What is Brightside AI and how does it protect my personal data?

Brightside AI is a personal online safety service that scans the open web, dark web, and commercial data brokers for traces of identity exposure. It pinpoints exposed records, then guides removal or mitigation with step-by-step instructions and optional automated takedowns. The outcome is a smaller digital footprint and fewer opportunities for criminals to target sensitive details.

Do you need access to my email account to scan for exposed data?

No, we never need access to your email account or passwords. Our OSINT scan works by searching publicly available sources across the internet using only your email address. We don't access your inbox, read your messages, or require any additional personal information beyond what you choose to provide. The scan reveals what's already visible online about you without compromising your privacy or account security.

How does OSINT scanning work and why is it better than Have I Been Pwned?

Most breach checkers only confirm if an email appears in known leaks. Brightside uses professional Open-Source Intelligence methods to collect evidence from social networks, paste sites, forums, people-search directories, dark web markets, and large marketing databases.

What kinds of personal information can Brightside AI uncover online?

Brightside surfaces publicly accessible or brokered data linked to an identity, including: - Email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses - Dates of birth, government ID references, and driver license data points where available - Social media posts, usernames, profile photos, and handles - Workplace details and leaked credentials - Data broker profiles that suggest family links, income ranges, and purchase interests

What do I need to begin a personal data scan?

Provide a primary email address. The engine links that address to related identifiers such as usernames, domains, and social handles, then expands the search automatically. No downloads, browser extensions, or account passwords are required. For a deeper scan, a prompt may request limited extra details like full name to match records more accurately and reduce false positives.

What’s included in the free Basic Scan versus the paid Deep OSINT Scan?

The Basic Scan is a quick health check that queries essential sources and provides a summary of exposure, and general safety tips. It is designed for fast visibility with minimal setup. The Deep OSINT Scan adds many more sources and includes data brokers, which are not part of the Basic Scan. This wider coverage uncovers significantly more records, including items that are difficult to find or that sit behind data-broker paywalls. Once the scan identifies which brokers hold personal data, an automated Data Broker Removal option can be purchased to process opt-outs on the user’s behalf.

How does the one-time Data Broker Removal upgrade work?

After a Deep OSINT Scan identifies which data brokers hold records, the removal upgrade files opt-out requests on your behalf and checks for completion. Most removals complete within about 30 days.

Can Brightside AI scan multiple email addresses or aliases at once?

Yes. Additional personal or work aliases, burner addresses, and family emails can be added from the dashboard. Each address gets its own OSINT sweep and the findings roll up into one consolidated exposure map. Each additional email requires a separate purchase for OSINT scans or Data Broker Removal.
