Acceptable Use

InsideMode exists to keep you safe online, not to watch other people. These rules apply to every search.

Last updated: November 4, 2026

01Search only to protect yourself

  • Check someone you're already talking to, before you meet or send money.
  • Find out where your own photos are being used.

02Never

  • Stalk, harass, threaten or expose anyone.
  • Out someone's sexual orientation, health, religion, politics or sex work.
  • Search for a minor.
  • Photograph a stranger to find out who they are. The camera only takes selfies, for “Find my photos”.
  • Make decisions about jobs, housing, credit or insurance.
  • Share, publish or resell results.

03A match is not proof

A similar face isn't the same person. Never accuse, threaten or expose someone because of a match.

04What happens if you break these rules

We can suspend or close your account without refund, and report serious cases to the authorities.

05See something wrong?

Report a wrong match or misuse, or ask us to remove a link, on our removal page. No account needed.
