Sender hints are limited pieces of context that may be available with a message. They are designed to provide broad information, not to reveal a person.
What a hint may include
- A broad location such as a country or general area
- A device or browser category
- A time or activity pattern connected to the message
- Information the sender chose to share
What hints cannot prove
- A sender name
- A social media account
- A phone number or email address
- A precise home, school or workplace location
Several people can use the same network, device type or area. A hint can therefore be incomplete, delayed or shared by many possible senders. Do not use it to accuse, confront or identify someone.
Vibebo should never present a broad technical signal as proof of identity. Avoid third party services that promise to reveal anonymous senders. They may be misleading, unsafe or designed to steal account details.
