About Penelope

A global registry that connects device owners, buyers, and law enforcement to fight stolen device trade.

The Problem

Millions of devices are stolen every year. Buyers unknowingly purchase stolen goods, and owners have no way to flag their devices globally. There's no single, trusted source of truth.

How It Works

Owners register their devices by IMEI or serial number, and every registered device is instantly searchable. Anyone can look up a device: no account needed, completely free.

If a device is stolen, the owner flags it and buyers see a clear warning. Owners with Active Protection also have their contact details shown to buyers and get alerted whenever their device is searched. When it's time to sell, owners can transfer ownership securely.

Who It's For

  • Individuals: protect your personal devices and get them back if stolen.
  • Buyers: verify before you buy. Free, instant, no account.
  • Businesses: shops, POS systems, schools, churches, and companies managing and verifying device fleets.
  • Law Enforcement: a public registry to aid recovery efforts.
