Digital Footprint Checker

A guided self-audit: links to check by hand on each big platform, a checklist to work through, and a score based on what you report.

This tool helps you check what the internet shows about your name. It works in three steps. First it builds direct links to the big platforms for the name and username you type. Then you open each link and look for yourself. Then you tick off a checklist and get a score based on what you report.

Read this first: what this tool does and does not do

This tool does not scan the internet and it does not find your accounts. No tool on a web page can search every site for you, and any tool that claims to list your accounts is guessing. What this tool does is give you the exact links to check, so you can look with your own eyes. Every result below is labelled "link-out, checked by you". The score counts only the checklist steps you tick yourself.

Your full name

Username or handle (optional)

Your audit checklist

Tick a step only when you really did it. Your score below comes from these ticks alone.

Nothing you type here is sent to a server or saved. The links open the real sites in new tabs, and the checking happens there, by you.

How the audit works, in order

Step one is the search. Open the Google and Bing links and read the first two pages for your name in quotes. Quotation marks keep the search to your exact name instead of every page with one of your words on it. Step two is the platforms. Open each profile link and look at what a stranger can see: your photo, your posts, your friends list, your old comments. Step three is the fixes. Work through the checklist, change the privacy settings that need it, delete or hide posts you would not want an employer to see, and report any account that uses your name or photo and is not yours.

A missing profile link proves nothing on its own. Many people use a different name on Facebook, or no plain username at all, so a blank page may only mean the link shape was wrong. Search the name as well as the username, and check the platform search link too. The reverse is also true: a profile with your name on it may belong to someone else with the same name, so read it before you act on it.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, and it says so on the page. No web page tool can search every site for your name. This tool builds the exact links for you to open and check by hand, and the score comes only from the checklist steps you tick yourself.

Because that username may be free, private, or spelled differently, or the platform may not use plain usernames at all. A blank page is not proof that no account exists. Use the search links too, and try name spellings and old usernames.

It is a count of the 10 checklist steps you ticked, as a percentage. It measures how much of the audit you did, not how clean your footprint is. A 100 percent score means you checked everything, not that nothing about you is online.

It is a free site, haveibeenpwned.com, where you type your email address and it tells you if that address appears in a known data breach. This tool does not run the check for you. You do it on their site, then change the password of any account named in a breach.

Ask the site owner first, through the contact page or the report link on the post. For search results, Google and Bing both have removal request forms for private details. For an account pretending to be you, use the impersonation report on that platform.

Every few months, and after any big change such as a new job or a new account. Keep the Google Alert on from the checklist so new results for your name reach you by email between audits.
