Frequently asked questions

We know that tools like Truth AI raise important questions about privacy, data sources, and legality. Here you’ll find clear, straightforward explanations of how our system operates and what you can expect when using it.

Where does the data come from? Truth AI uses only public OSINT sources — never private accounts or closed systems.

Truth AI uses only open-source intelligence (OSINT) methods. All information is collected from publicly accessible sources such as social platforms, public records, leaked databases available in the open web, forums, and other non-restricted datasets. We never access private accounts or closed systems.
Is OSINT legal? Yes — Truth AI analyzes only openly available data within OSINT practice and privacy law.

Yes. Truth AI operates strictly within the boundaries of OSINT practices. We analyze only openly available data and comply with international privacy and cybersecurity standards. Users are responsible for how they interpret and use the reports.
What is OSINT? Open-Source Intelligence: gathering and analyzing information from publicly accessible sources.

OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) is the practice of gathering and analyzing information from publicly accessible sources. Governments, cybersecurity teams, and researchers use it to verify identities, investigate risks, and support security decisions.
How accurate is the report? Accuracy depends on public data quality; Truth AI cross-checks multiple sources.

Accuracy depends on the availability and quality of public data. Truth AI cross-checks information from multiple sources to increase signal quality. While we aim for high accuracy, not all online data is up-to-date or reliable, so minor discrepancies are possible.
Can I delete my search history? Yes — clear your entire history anytime in app settings; it is not used for analytics.

Yes. You can clear your entire history anytime in the app settings. Deleted history is removed from your account and is not used for analytics or stored on our servers.
Does Truth AI store the reports? Reports are stored locally in your history; delete them anytime. We never sell them.

Reports are stored locally in your history for your convenience. You may delete them at any time. We do not sell or share your report data with third parties.
Does the app notify people that I searched for them? No — searches are completely private; the people you look up are never notified.

No. Searches are completely private. The individuals you look up are never notified or contacted.
Can Truth AI find information about anyone? Results depend on a person's public digital footprint; some have little or none.

Results depend on the digital footprint associated with the entered phone number or email. Some people have more public data; others have almost none. If no open-source information exists, the report will reflect that.
How fast are the reports generated? Most reports are ready in under 60 seconds, scanning many public sources at once.

Most reports are prepared in under 60 seconds. The engine scans multiple public sources simultaneously to deliver a summary as quickly as possible.
How does the AI Chat help? The assistant explains findings, highlights risks, and answers questions about the report.

The built-in AI assistant explains findings, highlights potential risks, and answers questions about the report. It simplifies complex results and helps you interpret the data safely.
Is my data protected? Yes — all queries and report data are encrypted and never exposed to third parties.

Yes. All search queries and report data are encrypted. We follow modern security practices and never expose your personal information to third parties.
Can I request removal of my own data? Yes — submit a removal request via in-app support; we guide you on source removal too.

Absolutely. You can submit a data removal request through in-app support. If the data appears in public sources, we’ll guide you on how to remove it at the source as well.
Does Truth AI access my contacts or messages? No — it only uses the phone or email you enter; it never scans contacts or messages.

No. The app only uses the phone number or email you manually enter. We do not scan your contact list or personal messages.
How does the SMS Spam Filter work? It detects phishing and scam patterns on-device and blocks harmful texts before you open them.

The filter analyzes incoming messages, detects phishing patterns, scam signals, and suspicious content, and blocks harmful texts before you open them. It works entirely on-device without uploading your SMS content to servers.
What about the Call Spam Filter? A smart call protection feature (coming) that warns you about high-risk numbers.

We’re building a smart call protection feature that identifies high-risk numbers based on OSINT data and community reports. It will warn you before you answer potential scam calls.
Does Truth AI work outside my country? Yes — OSINT data is global; result density and accuracy vary by region.

Yes. Since OSINT data is global, the app can generate reports for most regions. The density and accuracy of results may vary depending on local data availability.
What's the main purpose of Truth AI? Verify identities, avoid scams, and understand who's behind a number or email.

Truth AI helps people verify identities, stay safe online, avoid scams, and understand who is behind a phone number or email. It’s a tool for awareness and digital protection—not surveillance.
