## Purpose and responsible-use boundary

OSINTCompass helps people compare public-source research tools by purpose, accepted input, access model, privacy sensitivity, maintenance status, and verification date. Every listing points to an original provider or repository. OSINTCompass does not proxy searches, run scans, store remote evidence, authenticate users, or make claims about a target.

Use public sources lawfully. Researchers are responsible for authorization, applicable laws, provider terms, and responsible handling of personal or sensitive data. Tool behavior, availability, licenses, and external metadata can change; verify important details at the original source before relying on them.

Privacy labels describe the sensitivity of sending a query or artifact to a provider, not a guarantee of anonymity, legality, security, or evidentiary reliability.
