01 — Hunt
Find where you're exposed
We track your household across people-search brokers, breach corpora, and the open web — the whole picture of what the wild can see, matched to the right person.
The problem
Your family's information is for sale — a few dollars a lookup.
People-search brokers quietly compile your home address, phone numbers, email, age, relatives, and every place you've lived — then publish it for anyone to buy. That profile is the raw material for stalking, scams, doxxing, and identity theft, and it exposes your whole household, not just you.
The scale
It's more than you think
Dozens of brokers carry a version of you. Most people have no idea they're listed — or on how many sites.
The catch
It grows back
Even after a takedown, brokers repopulate from public records every 3–6 months. A one-time opt-out doesn't hold.
The reality
DIY is a treadmill
Every broker has its own opt-out maze — doing it by hand across all of them, forever, is a part-time job.
Bighound does that job for you: it hunts down every exposure, scrubs what it can, and watches so it stays gone.
How it works
02 — Scrub
Get it taken down
Automated where a broker allows it, and a one-click human worklist where it gates — we never defeat CAPTCHAs or bot checks. Gated brokers are routed to you, effort and all shown up front.
03 — Watch
Keep it gone
Broker data regenerates on a 3–6 month half-life, so we re-scan and re-fire, and nudge you the moment something new surfaces. Removal is a loop, not a one-shot.
Why invitation-only
We stay small on purpose
A system that holds your family's most sensitive information should be the opposite of a growth-at-all-costs data company. So there's no public signup and no anonymous accounts — the smallest possible attack surface. No ads, and we never sell or share your data; the only way in is a vouch from someone already inside.
That keeps the circle trustworthy and the software honest — built for the households it actually serves, not for a market. Want in? Ask a member for a link, or request an invite and we'll reach out.
Built like it holds what it holds
Security is the product, not a feature
- Invitation-only. No public signup, no anonymous compute — the smallest possible attack surface.
- Encrypted, isolated. Field-level encryption, per-household isolation — your data is yours alone.
- Data-minimized. We store only what a scan consumes, and never SSN, full date of birth, financial accounts, or government IDs.
- Donation-funded. No paywalls, no tiers, no billing. A "chip in" link offsets the real costs — that's all.
Good to know
What does it cost?
Nothing. Bighound is donation-funded — no paywalls, no tiers, no billing. A "chip in" link offsets real costs, and it's entirely optional.
Who is it for?
Households — you, your family, and a few close friends. The people you'd actually vouch for, not the whole internet.
How do I get an invite?
Ask someone already using Bighound, or request one and we'll be in touch. We keep it small on purpose.
Is my information safe with you?
That's the entire design: invitation-only, encrypted, per-household isolation, and we never store SSNs, full birth dates, financial accounts, or government IDs. See our security posture.
