# SherlockOSINT > SherlockOSINT is an OSINT search tool for username, email, and phone lookups, plus AI photo geolocation. Searches run in real time against publicly available sources and account signals. Results vary by source. SherlockOSINT is meant for reviewing your own public footprint and other lawfully authorized checks. It is not a people-search service, a public-records directory, a background-check service, or a contact-harvesting tool, and it does not keep a standing database of people. ## Tools - [Username search](https://sherlockosint.com/username-search): Search a username across multiple platforms for public profile links and presence signals. - [Email lookup](https://sherlockosint.com/email-search): Search an email address for public account signals and profile links. - [Phone lookup](https://sherlockosint.com/phone-lookup): View carrier, line type, and region signals for a phone number where available. - [AI image geolocation](https://sherlockosint.com/geolocation): Estimate where a photo was taken from visual clues. ## Guides - [OSINT library](https://sherlockosint.com/library): Plain-language OSINT guides. - [What is Sherlock?](https://sherlockosint.com/library/what-is-sherlock): The open-source username search tool explained, with its limits and ethical use. - [What is SherlockOSINT?](https://sherlockosint.com/library/what-is-sherlock-osint): What the platform does, which tools it offers and how it handles data. - [What is OSINT?](https://sherlockosint.com/library/what-is-osint): Open source intelligence explained, from the intelligence cycle to legal limits. - [Investigating leaks with OSINT](https://sherlockosint.com/library/investigating-leaks): Practical and ethical steps for reviewing exposed data. ## Plans and policies - [Pricing and plans](https://sherlockosint.com/packages): Plan prices, the 7-day trial, and credit packs. - [Terms and conditions](https://sherlockosint.com/terms): Terms for using SherlockOSINT. - [Privacy and ePrivacy policy](https://sherlockosint.com/privacy): How data is collected, used and stored. - [Ethical guidelines](https://sherlockosint.com/ethics): Lawful and responsible use of OSINT tools. - [Refund policy](https://sherlockosint.com/refund-policy): Refund eligibility and cancellation terms. - [Account deletion](https://sherlockosint.com/account-deletion): How account deletion works, including grace periods and final anonymization. ## Optional - [Home](https://sherlockosint.com/): Overview of the tools. - [Contact and support](https://sherlockosint.com/contact): Support, takedown requests and general questions. - [Possible public sources](https://sherlockosint.com/possible-sources): Examples of public platforms that may appear in lookup results. - [Email search terms](https://sherlockosint.com/email-terms): Terms specific to email search. - [Roadmap](https://sherlockosint.com/roadmap): Upcoming product and compliance milestones. - [Incidents](https://sherlockosint.com/incidents): Platform incidents and service updates. - [Special thanks](https://sherlockosint.com/special-thanks): Credit to the Sherlock Project and its contributors. - [Licenses](https://sherlockosint.com/licenses): Open source licenses. - [Free access for law enforcement](https://sherlockosint.com/free-access): Where eligible teams can request free access.
