We're a small company with a powerful tool. Our responsibilities are mostly about how that tool affects people. These are the commitments we make, and how we keep them.
We didn't add privacy at the end. We built the product around it. Uploaded photos are deleted the moment a search finishes. We don't keep search histories. Search limits use a one-way code instead of your IP address. We collect the least data we can and still run the service.
Any tool that searches images of people can be turned against them. We take that risk seriously:
Romance scams, fake profiles and photo theft hurt real people, often the most vulnerable. That's why searching stays free for everyone, with no account needed. Our guides explain how to spot a catfish, what a match does and doesn't mean, and what to do next. If someone contacts us about image abuse, we help them find the right support, even when it's not about our service.
Searchly.app works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers. There's no app to install and nothing technical to learn. We design pages with clear text, readable contrast and keyboard-friendly controls, and we keep improving them. If something is hard to use, tell us and we'll fix it.
Digital services use real energy. We try to use less of it. Your browser shrinks photos before upload, so less data travels and less work happens on our servers. We delete files we no longer need instead of storing them forever. Our servers run in Sweden, which has one of the lowest-carbon electricity grids in Europe.
Protecting data is part of being responsible with it. We encrypt every connection, hash passwords, keep our software up to date and limit who can reach our servers. We never store card details. Stripe, a certified payment provider, handles them.
We review this page whenever the product changes in a way that affects people. If we fall short of anything here, we want to hear about it. Write to support@searchly.app. A real person reads every message.
