Recommended workflow

Start from an authorized email lead, run the check, discard weak or irrelevant signals, then corroborate plausible account links with independent public evidence before drawing conclusions.

Language notes

Tooling and documentation are English-first. Account context may require local-language review depending on the services returned.

Limits

Strengths, caveats, and risk

Strengths

Open-source and focused, with a clear email-led workflow for finding account-registration leads.

Limitations

Results can be noisy, blocked by services, rate-limited, outdated, or misinterpreted as stronger evidence than they are.

Does not prove identity, account ownership, account access, current control, or private activity.

Risk note

Email registration checks can expose private individuals to misidentification, stalking, or harassment risk if weak signals are treated as facts.

Use only for lawful, authorized research. Do not use outputs for credential attacks, harassment, doxxing, or attempts to access accounts.

Trust note

Treat every hit as a lead requiring independent verification from public profile context, archives, documents, or direct confirmation.
