How Protection works
Step 1
Tell us what to check
Your name, email, phone number or a username. We only check details you give us, and never sell them.
Step 2
See where you're exposed
We check data brokers, people-search sites, breaches and the open web, then rank every finding by risk.
Step 3
Take it down
Follow clear steps for each exposure, or sign once and we file removal requests in your name.
Step 4
Keep watch
Brokers relist people. A removal campaign rechecks on a schedule, and you can scan again any time.
What we look for
- Full name and aliases
- Home and past addresses
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses
- Date of birth
- Employer and job title
- Social profiles
- Usernames and accounts
- Leaked passwords
- IP addresses
- Financial details
- Government ID numbers
We only check details you give us, and never sell them.
Coverage varies by source and country. Only confirmed emails are checked for breaches.
Why it matters
Fewer spam calls and texts
Brokers sell phone numbers to marketers and robocallers. Fewer listings leave fewer ways to reach you.
Harder to scam
Scammers use your address, relatives and past jobs to sound convincing. Less to find leaves less to use.
Your home stays private
People-search sites show where you live to anyone who types your name. Removing those listings closes that door.
Less exposure for your family
Listings link you to relatives and their addresses. Taking yours down breaks one of those links.
Know what leaked
See which breaches exposed your email or password, and what to change first.
Less to steal
Identity thieves piece a person together from many sources. Every removal leaves them less to work with.

Questions about Protection
What is a data broker?
A company that collects personal details from public records, apps, purchases and other websites, then sells or publishes them. People-search sites are the brokers you can see: they list names, addresses, phone numbers and relatives for anyone to look up.
How did my information get online?
Mostly through public records, old accounts, online purchases, sign-up forms and data breaches. Brokers also buy and copy records from each other, which is why the same details turn up on many sites.
What happens after I start a scan?
You create an account and confirm the details you want checked. Results arrive as each source responds, ranked by risk, with the next step for every exposure.
Can you remove everything about me?
No one can. We can ask data brokers and people-search sites to delete your listings, and remove you from DeepSearch. Breaches, official public records, news and social posts can't be erased, so for those we show you what to change or who to contact.
How long does removal take?
Each request cites the privacy law that applies, so the broker has a deadline to answer. A removal campaign runs for 90 days: we file requests, chase every reply and recheck listings where the broker allows it.
Will my information come back?
It can. Brokers refresh their data and sometimes relist people. Scan again any time to see what's new, or start another campaign when one ends.
How much does Protection cost?
Protection comes with DeepSearch Pro and Max, and each scan uses one credit from your plan. If you want us to file removal requests for you, one $20 payment covers a 90-day campaign.
Is it safe to give you my details?
We only check the details you give us, and never sell them. Only confirmed emails are checked for breaches, removal requests need your signature, and you can export or delete your Protection data at any time.
