Rules for using Holehe OSINT.

By using Holehe OSINT, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you are using the Website on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation.

Holehe OSINT is a free, web-based open-source intelligence (OSINT) search platform. It allows users to query public information across a wide range of online platforms using usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, and IP addresses. We act as an aggregator and do not operate the underlying third-party platforms.

You may use the Website only if you can form a binding contract with us and are not barred from doing so under the laws of your jurisdiction. By using the Website, you represent that you meet these requirements.

You may use the Website for lawful purposes, including:

• Researching public usernames and online identities.
• Investigating your own accounts or digital footprint.
• Conducting authorised OSINT, security research, or fraud-prevention activities.
• Verifying publicly available information for legitimate business or personal reasons.

You may not use the Website for any of the following:

• Harassment, stalking, intimidation, or unauthorised surveillance of any individual.
• Illegal activity, fraud, or any purpose that violates applicable laws.
• Circumventing or attempting to circumvent rate limits, security measures, or access controls.
• Scraping, automated mass querying, or other activity that places an unreasonable load on the service.
• Reselling, repackaging, or commercially exploiting the service without our written permission.

We enforce rate limits to keep the service fast and available for everyone. Excessive or automated use may result in temporary or permanent blocking, with or without notice. We reserve the right to determine what constitutes excessive use at our sole discretion.

The Website, its code, design, branding, and content are owned by or licensed to Holehe OSINT. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the Website without our prior written consent, except as permitted by applicable law.

Search results are sourced from public third-party endpoints. We do not create, verify, or endorse the content returned by those platforms. We make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or availability of any results. You use all results at your own risk and should independently verify any information before taking action.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Holehe OSINT and its operators will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Website or reliance on any results. This applies even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Holehe OSINT and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising from your use of the Website, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

We may modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Holehe OSINT operates, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.
