Pre-screening, not a full investigation. Deep Scan surfaces flags that would appear in a comprehensive background check — warrants, sex offender status, violent history. Know what you're dealing with before committing.

Complete Privacy by Design

We literally cannot see your data. 21orNot uses a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) architecture — your phone talks directly to the AI (Groq). There is no 21orNot server — just static code on Cloudflare's CDN.

  • ID images go from your camera straight to Groq's AI. We never receive them.
  • Your API key is stored only in your browser. We never see it.
  • Scan results exist only in your browser tab. Close it and they're gone forever.
  • No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. We don't know who you are or what you scan.

Don't take our word for it — open Developer Tools → Network tab and see for yourself.

How Deep Scan Works

Deep Scan searches publicly available records — the same information you could find with 30 minutes of Google searching, compressed into 20 seconds.

It searches:

  • Sex offender registries (50 states)
  • Domestic violence charges & restraining orders
  • Public arrest records & mugshots
  • Court records, felonies, and active warrants
  • News articles about criminal cases

Powered by AI-driven web search running through your own API key. Results are condensed for privacy — just enough to raise awareness, not a full dossier.

21orNot is not a Consumer Reporting Agency and does not provide consumer reports as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Results may be incomplete, inaccurate, or match the wrong person. Do not use this service for employment screening, tenant screening, insurance underwriting, credit decisions, or any purpose governed by the FCRA. This is an informational tool only — treat results as unverified leads, not facts. By using this service you agree that you will not use results to make decisions about any individual's eligibility for employment, housing, credit, or insurance.
