Discover How Companies Win

“One core piece of data we get from SEON is the ability to profile customers based on a phone number. Because what we do is through WhatsApp, being able to check social signals really helps us get a better sense of how real the user is. It’s a tool in our toolkit that is pretty unique.”

Jonathan Kleinmann

“The email analysis tool is fantastic in B2B because we work with a lot of custom emails. What we then do is create custom SEON rules, test them and combine them with credit bureau data to build our own fuzzy logic. It accelerates credit scoring down to under a minute, with zero added friction.”

Digital Footprint FAQs

How many social and digital platforms does SEON check?

SEON checks 300+ digital and social platforms, including major social networks, messaging apps, dating sites, professional networks and online services. Coverage spans global and regional platforms to verify identities across different markets.

Can a digital footprint solution replace KYC?

A digital footprint solution doesn’t replace KYC, helps assess intent of customers trying to access a digital product or service.

During onboarding, digital footprint checks analyze social and digital profile data, IP location, email and phone intelligence, and breach exposure. Signals such as how long an email or phone number has existed, whether it has appeared in past data breaches, or whether it has been linked to known fraudulent activity help determine whether a user’s intent aligns with legitimate behavior.

This allows businesses to filter out higher-risk users before triggering costly document verification, while reserving full KYC for cases that genuinely require identity confirmation. Digital footprint checks can also be re-run if key account details change, helping identify shifts in risk and prompting step-up verification where needed.

How does SEON handle data privacy when performing lookups?

SEON accesses publicly available information and commercial data sources. Whether performing a reverse email lookup or a phone check, our data handling follows privacy-by-design principles and supports compliance with GDPR and similar regulations.

How does SEON handle privacy regulations like GDPR?

SEON collects device attributes rather than personal identifiers. Data collection follows privacy-by-design principles and configuration options let you align the fingerprinting scope with your regulatory requirements and privacy policies.

What if a legitimate customer has minimal online presence?

A limited digital footprint is one risk signal among many. While SEON specializes in finding social media profiles by email or phone, our scoring considers the full context — including device intelligence, behavioral patterns and transaction history. Thin-file customers can still be approved based on other positive indicators.
