Privacy-first lost & found platform

Recover Lost Items Without Compromising Privacy

Perdus is a secure lost-and-found platform that matches user inquiries to a private inventory using smart matching and human verification — without ever exposing the catalog to the public.

Traditional Lost & Found Systems Are Broken

Current solutions expose your organization to risk while failing those who need help most.

Manual & Slow

Time-consuming processes that frustrate both staff and claimants

Easy to Exploit

Public listings make it trivial for bad actors to make false claims

Security Risks

Sensitive or valuable items exposed to potential theft

High Workload

Administrative burden that diverts resources from core operations

Private by Design

A Smarter Way to Recover What's Lost

Perdus introduces a private-by-design recovery system. Users submit inquiries using text or images. Our system intelligently matches them against a hidden inventory reviewed only by authorized assistants.

No public browsing of items
No guesswork or false claims
No exposure of sensitive inventory
