What is Deepscanner?
Deepscanner is a people search service at deepscanner.app, built for checking someone before you trust them: a date, a Marketplace seller, a new roommate, a landlord, or a number that keeps calling. It works in any browser, on phone or computer, in six languages.
It's not a background check company in the legal sense. Deepscanner is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, so its reports can't be used for hiring, renting, credit or insurance decisions.

The search box on deepscanner.app: pick Name, Email or Phone.
How does Deepscanner work?
- Enter one detail. A full name, an email address or a phone number.
- It scans. Public records, social networks and web pages that mention that detail. The homepage says it draws on 500M+ records from 100+ sources.
- AI matches the results. Records that belong to the same person are grouped, so you get one profile, not a pile of separate hits.
- You read the report. A preview shows first; the full report opens once you start a trial.
Can you search someone by name, email or phone number?
Yes, all three. A phone number or email usually gives the cleanest match, because only one person tends to own it. A name works best with a city or age to narrow it down. Deepscanner can't search by home address, username or photo yet.
What does a Deepscanner report show?
It depends on what's public about that person. A report can include:
Section | What it can show |
|---|---|
Identity | Full name, aliases, age, photos |
Contact | Phone numbers and email addresses |
Location | Current and past addresses |
People | Relatives and associates |
Online | Social media and dating profiles, usernames, web mentions |
Work and school | Employment and education history |
Security | Whether their email appears in known data breaches |
Records (add-on) | Criminal records and sex offender registry |

While it searches, Deepscanner shows which record types it's checking.
Does Deepscanner notify the person you search?
No. Searches are private and the person is never told you looked them up. Nothing is sent to them, and your search history stays in your account.
Does Deepscanner actually work?
For most US adults, yes: contact details, addresses and relatives come back because those records are widely published. Results are thinner for people under 25, people who moved recently, and common names with no other detail to narrow them. Check the photo, age and past addresses before you act on a report.

Is Deepscanner free?
The preview is free: for a phone number you see the carrier, line type and location before paying anything. The full report opens with a low-cost trial, and the exact price is shown before you pay. Plans renew until you cancel, and you can cancel in one click.
Is Deepscanner legit and safe?
Yes. Payments go through Stripe, searches are private, there's a published refund policy, and real support by email and phone. If you see a charge you don't recognise, contact support before your bank: refunds are processed within 24 hours. Full answer: Is Deepscanner legit?
Is it legal to look someone up on Deepscanner?
Yes, for personal reasons like checking a date, a seller or an unknown caller. The information comes from public records and public web pages. What's not allowed is using a people search report to decide on someone's job, housing, credit or insurance: that requires an FCRA background check, which Deepscanner is not.
What happens if Deepscanner finds nothing?
The search credit goes back to your account, and you can ask for a 100% refund within 30 days. Contact support with the email on your account and they'll sort it, usually within 24 hours.
How do you cancel Deepscanner?
Log in, open Manage Subscription and click Cancel. It takes one click, with no call or email needed, and your access runs until the end of the period you paid for. Step by step: how to cancel Deepscanner.

You don't need to install anything. Deepscanner runs at deepscanner.app in any phone or computer browser, and you can add it to your home screen from the browser menu. App store listings called "DeepScan" are separate apps, so check the developer name before you download one.
