Getting started
What can I create a request about?+
You can look for a person from your past, ask for help identifying a place or memory, or create a space to preserve a human story. The service is not intended for surveillance, debt collection, legal service, background checks or finding someone who has asked not to be contacted.
Do I need complete information?+
No. Start with what you genuinely remember and mark uncertain details as approximate. Do not invent facts to make a request appear more complete.
What kind of search belongs on MissToSee?+
MissToSee is for reconnecting with people you once knew, learning about someone you remember, rediscovering meaningful places and preserving unfinished stories. It is not an investigation, emergency-response or official reporting service.
Privacy & visibility
Will my phone number, email or address be public?+
No. Contact details are kept out of public requests. Messages are intended to be relayed through protected channels until both people consent to direct contact.
Who can see my request?+
You choose a visibility level: private draft, trusted invitation, or reviewed community request. Sensitive requests may require extra review or may not qualify for public visibility.
Can I delete a request or account?+
Yes. The product is designed to let you archive or remove requests and request account deletion, subject to limited retention needed for security, fraud prevention and legal obligations.
Leads & contact
Does a possible match mean you found the right person?+
No. A lead is only a possibility. Names, places and memories can overlap. Users should review context carefully and avoid making public claims about identity.
How does contact begin?+
A protected message can be offered to the person. Direct contact details are shared only after both sides choose to proceed.
What if someone does not want contact?+
The request must stop. A person can decline, block future messages and ask to disappear from discovery. Consent can also be withdrawn later.
Safety & removal
How do I report harmful content or behavior?+
Use the report control attached to a request, lead or message. Categories should include impersonation, harassment, unsafe personal data, fraud, threats and concerns involving a minor or vulnerable person.
Are requests involving minors allowed?+
They require stricter safeguards and may be limited to verified parents, guardians or appropriate official organizations. Public identifying information about a minor should never be posted casually.
Can MissToSee refuse or remove a request?+
Yes. Requests may be limited or removed when they create privacy or safety risks, violate the Terms, appear deceptive, or cannot be handled responsibly.
