Acceptable Use
TrustLens is built for honest, daylight uses. We hard-block and may terminate accounts for:
- stalking, harassment, intimidation, or harm to any person;
- circumventing any third-party service's terms, authentication, or rate limits;
- impersonation, including creating fake social accounts;
- using reports as consumer reports for employment, credit, tenancy, insurance, or other FCRA purposes;
- bulk queries intended to build a profile database of non-consenting individuals;
- searches targeting minors, except by a parent or legal guardian.
Every search requires an attestation. False attestations may expose you to civil and criminal liability in your jurisdiction.
Instagram monitoring
When you add an Instagram handle to your monitor list, TrustLens periodically reviews publicly visible activity on that profile — specifically new accounts it follows, accounts it unfollows, bio and profile-pic changes, and switches to or from a private account. We only monitor handles that are publicly accessible.
Use Instagram monitoring on accounts you have a legitimate interest in tracking: your own profile, a partner who has consented, or a public figure relevant to due diligence you're conducting. Do not use it to harass, stalk, surveil minors, or build profiles of people without consent.
