Informational use only

You're considering meeting, dating, or trusting someone. You want a calm, honest look at who they appear to be in public records and commercially available data. That's what this is for. Use it the way you'd Google someone before a first date — except the search is structured, sourced, and labeled.

By using The Tea Report, you confirm you will not use it to:

• Decide whether to hire, promote, supervise, or fire someone.
• Decide whether to rent or sell housing to someone, or to extend or deny a lease.
• Decide whether to extend credit, set credit terms, or underwrite insurance.
• Evaluate someone for a professional license or scholarship.
• Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, surveil, dox, or "out" anyone.
• Run a check on a minor (anyone under 18).

These are FCRA-regulated decisions in the United States, and they require an FCRA-compliant consumer reporting agency. We are not one, and reports we provide are not consumer reports. Using a report for any of those purposes can expose you to civil liability and is a violation of our Terms of Service.

The data in your report is pulled from third-party providers across public records, identity verification databases, and U.S. government registries. We don't generate this data and we can't guarantee it's accurate, complete, or current. People move, change jobs, get off registries, get added to registries, and create or delete social profiles every day.

Every section of a report is labeled with the category of source and the date we verified it. Treat anything important as a starting point, not a conclusion — and verify with the original source if it matters.

Sex-offender registry data is published by individual US states. Coverage, fields, photo availability, and update cadence vary state-by-state. A "no match found" result means we did not find a confirmed match in the registries we checked at the time of the report — it does not certify that no record exists anywhere or that the person is safe.

A "possible match" result means we found a name (and sometimes state) match without enough additional data to confirm it's the same person. Adding a date of birth and re-running the report is usually the best way to clarify.

You are the one making decisions about your own dating life. We give you a clearer picture; we don't give you the answer. If a report surfaces something concerning, take time to verify it, and — if you're worried about your safety — reach out to people you trust or, in an emergency, to local authorities.

If you're in immediate danger, call your local emergency number. In the United States, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233 and is available 24/7.
