Name and image matching
Matching your stored name variants and profile images against what appears on reachable sources.
Fake profiles and identity misuse
YIIO Shield When somebody pretends to be you
Detection of fake profiles and identity misuse, with an assisted reporting process. The case is more common than most assume - and it often surfaces only when somebody nearby points it out.
01
Purpose
A fake profile under your name does damage twice over: it says things you never said, and it occupies the place where people expect to find you. Shield looks for such appearances and prepares the report.
02
Features
Assisted reporting process
All major platforms run forms for identity misuse, some of them for non-users too. Shield assembles the required details and tracks the deadline.
Securing evidence before reporting
A fake profile often disappears the moment it is reported. Whatever was not secured beforehand can no longer be evidenced later.
Escalation
If a platform stays inactive, the internal complaints procedure under Art. 20 DSA and out-of-court dispute settlement under Art. 21 remain open. Both are tracked as well.
03
Limits we disclose
Where we draw the line
A reverse image search for faces processes biometric data within the meaning of Art. 9 GDPR. Only a search for your own face is defensible, with explicit consent you can withdraw at any time. We do not offer a search for third-party faces - not even on request. On top of that, name matching through the search functions of the major platforms mostly breaches their terms of use, which is why Shield confines itself to reachable sources.
