I want to investigate myself.

I want to know more about myself: my personal information, my fingerprints, my name, pictures of me, and all the other information I can find about me. This is to prevent a data leak or anything like that. I’d prefer general advice, since I see many of you are from the US, India, and other countries (I’m in Mexico). So, if you have any resources for obtaining my fingerprints and other data to ensure I don’t have unwanted information floating around, please let me know.

whether it’s OSINT or self-doxing

You can’t find your “fingerprint” in one search — your footprint sits in layers, and each layer has its own lookup and its own delete button. So do one clean pass: find → remove → then set alerts so new leaks ping you instead of you re-hunting forever. And since you’re in Mexico, you’ve got legal delete-levers most guides never mention. :backhand_index_pointing_down: (You’ll be feeding your own data into these — so lean on the on-device / no-log ones; crop face photos; don’t sign in to the sketchy sites.)

:flashlight: 1 — Find yourself (free, no-code, start here)

  • :star: Have I Been Pwned — your email → every breach it’s in (then change those exact passwords). Doesn’t store your search.
  • :star: Intelligence X — search your email / phone / CURP / RFC across leaks + dark-web dumps; surfaces LatAm/Mexican dumps HIBP misses.
  • :star: Epieos — paste your email → what a stranger instantly learns: linked Google name + photo, Maps reviews, 120+ sites you’re registered on. Silent.
  • :camera_with_flash: Your face/photos: :star: PimEyes (true face search) · FaceCheck.ID (catches impersonation accounts) · Yandex Images (best free face matcher) · TinEye (who posted your pic first).
  • :star: Google “Results about you” — your name/phone/address → Search hits + one-click removal in the same tool. Optery free scan shows screenshots of which broker sites list you.

:broom: 2 — Remove what you found (free)

:mexico: 3 — Your Mexico-only levers (the gems no US guide has)

  • :star: ARCO rights (LFPDPPP) — legally force any company to delete your data (“Cancelación/Oposición”) through their aviso de privacidad; they must answer in ~20 days. Ignored? Free complaint to the SABG (the authority that replaced INAI).
  • :star: Dateas — the big LatAm broker republishing your Mexican public records → search yourself, then its free “Baja de Datos” (5-day delete).
  • :star: Mexico has TWO credit bureaus — pull both free reports + turn on their alerts as an identity-theft canary if leaked INE/CURP data gets used: Buró de Crédito (“Alértame”) + Círculo de Crédito. :warning: Official sites only — Condusef flags scam clones.
  • :star: Ley Olimpia — leaked intimate photos: platforms must remove on report + it’s a crime; call 089 / Policía Cibernética. · REPEP kills telemarketing from leaked phone lists · R3D tracks which national leaks (INE 93M voters, SEDENA) likely already hold your data.
🧭 Go deeper — the one-seed self-scan frameworks (map it ALL at once)
  • :star: SpiderFoot — feed ONE seed (email/name/username/phone) → 200+ modules crawl breaches/social/leaks into one map, from a local point-and-click GUI. On-device, so your data stays on your machine — run this first.
  • Username sprawl: WhatsMyName (web, zero install) · Maigret (--web, 3,000+ sites) · Sherlock · Blackbird.
  • Email/phone: Holehe (which sites your email signed up to, silently) · Ignorant (same for your phone) · PhoneInfoga.
  • Cockpits: :star: IntelTechniques Search Tools (fire your name/email/phone/photo across dozens of engines) · OSINT Framework as your checklist.
🕵️ Your literal 'fingerprint' + hardening (stop getting re-found)
🔔 Stay clean — set once, get pinged when NEW data appears

HIBP Notify Me + Mozilla Monitor (future breaches, worldwide) · Google Alerts for your name/phone/email/usernames in quotes → emailed the day a new page mentions them · then re-run the broker opt-outs each quarter (brokers re-list you).

You can’t un-print yourself from the internet — but you can read every copy, tear down what you reach, and set a bell for the rest. Investigate you before anyone else bothers to.
