Privacy policy
What SearchOnly collects when you browse, search or write to us, and what you can ask us to do with it.
Questions about this policy?
Write to us — we answer within 24–48 hours. Creators can also have their profile removed at any time.
Data sources & collection method
SearchOnly indexes creator profile information exclusively from publicly accessible pages on OnlyFans.com. This data is available to any internet user without requiring login, authentication, or subscription. We collect the same information that any visitor can see when browsing OnlyFans public profile pages: username, display name, bio text, profile avatar, header image, subscription price, and publicly visible statistics. We do not access, scrape, or index any private content, subscriber-only posts, messages, or paywalled material. Our indexing method is identical to how search engines like Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo crawl and index publicly accessible web pages.
Information we collect from visitors
Browsing SearchOnly needs no account. Your favorites, compare list, theme and language stay in your browser's local storage. We keep anonymous search statistics — the query, a random session ID and a hashed IP address — to improve results; they are never linked to a name or an account. Our servers keep standard technical logs (such as browser type and errors) to keep the site running and secure. Networks that behave like automated scrapers may be checked by Cloudflare for up to 48 hours.
Submit, removal and contact requests
When you use the submit or removal form, we keep what you enter: your name as you give it, your email address, the OnlyFans username, and your reason or message. When you email us, we keep your message and your address. We use this only to handle your request and reply to you, and keep it until the request is handled and as long as needed to show we handled it.
How we use information
We use collected information to: improve our search functionality, analyze usage patterns to enhance user experience, and maintain the security of our platform. We do not sell personal data to third parties.
Reviews
When you write a review we store its text, rating, the name you choose to show (or “Anonymous”), whether you say you subscribed, and a hashed IP address used only to limit spam and duplicates. Every review is read by a moderator before it is published, and it may be screened automatically for spam and abuse. Published reviews are public; reports of a review are stored with a hashed IP address.
Creators who claim their page
A creator proves a page is theirs with a one-off code in their OnlyFans bio. We store the code, a hash of the private owner link (never the link itself), the dates of the claim and, if the creator connects it, their Telegram chat ID to send the weekly report. Replies a creator writes are published only after moderation. Sending /stop to the bot ends the report; the claim and chat ID are deleted on request.
Photo search
A photo you upload is sent to our own image-matching service, compared in memory and discarded right away. We don't save it to disk or to a database, and it isn't used for anything else.
Third-party services
We use Cloudflare to deliver and protect the site and its cookieless Web Analytics to count visits. When you use “Near Me”, your browser sends your coordinates to OpenStreetMap (Nominatim) to look up your city; we don't store them. Creators who connect the weekly report receive it through Telegram. We link to OnlyFans and other sites, which have their own privacy policies.
Your rights
You can clear what your browser stores at any time. To have a review you wrote removed, or a page claim and its Telegram link deleted, write to privacy@searchonly.me. Creators can request removal of their profile through our removal form; we act within 24–48 hours.
GDPR compliance (EU users)
For users in the European Economic Area: We process publicly available creator profile data under the legitimate interest legal basis (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our legitimate interest is operating a search engine that indexes publicly accessible information, similar to how Google and other search engines operate. This processing is necessary for our service and does not override the rights of data subjects, as we only index information that creators have made publicly available on OnlyFans.
EU data subject rights
If you are an EU resident, you have the right to: access your personal data, request rectification or erasure, object to processing, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Creators can request removal of their indexed profile at any time through our removal request page. We act on removal requests within 24–48 hours.
California privacy rights (CCPA)
California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion of personal information, and opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@searchonly.me.
Legal basis for processing
We process data under legitimate interest for operating a search engine indexing publicly available information. For creator profile data, our processing is analogous to search engine indexing as recognized under EU case law (including the Google Spain decision), where publicly available information may be indexed while respecting removal requests.
