      <Abstract>In the digital age, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) has become a key tool for a wide range of stakeholders including law enforcement, cyber threat intelligence teams, and private citizens. By harnessing publicly available data, OSINT provides powerful insights but also raises significant privacy and security concerns. This paper examines the methods of collecting OSINT, its applications, and its implications for personal security. The paper also provides guidance on mitigating associated risks.</Abstract>
