Privacy protection

Data privacy shouldn't
be a hassle.

Detected helps you find exposed information, understand where your email appeared in known breaches, and take action to reduce your personal data footprint.

Breach exposure checks are powered by trusted breach-data sources. Removal support is available with Detected Protect Plus.

How Detected data removal works

01

Start with an exposure check

Enter your email in the Detected app. We check known breach records to see whether your email has appeared in public data leaks.

02

Understand what was exposed

Detected shows plain-English results so you can see which breaches involved your email and what types of information may have been included.

03

Take the right next steps

We guide you through important actions like changing reused passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and securing accounts connected to that email.

04

Activate removal support

With Detected Protect Plus, we help submit opt-out and removal requests to supported people-search and data-broker sources that may display or sell personal information.

05

We keep checking

Privacy is not one-and-done. Detected helps track progress, rescan supported sources, and keep you informed when action is needed.

Removals that run on autopilot

With Detected Protect Plus, we don't just tell you where you're exposed — we do the work to get it removed, and we keep doing it.

01

It starts with a scan

We scan people-search sites and breach data for your personal information and flag every broker holding your records.

Spokeo found with your records.
Intelius added as a new broker.
Whitepages found with your records.
02~14 days until resolution

First removal requests are sent

We send removal requests to every covered data broker that may hold your information, so none of your records are left on their databases.

0310 days until next request

Requests are sent on repeat

We re-scan and send fresh waves of removal requests regularly, so brokers can't quietly re-list and start selling your information again.

04

We don't stop there

We keep tracking down new brokers and people-search sites, so your level of protection keeps improving over time.

What Detected can and can't do

Detected can help you

  • Check whether your email appeared in known data breaches
  • Understand what types of data may have been exposed
  • Follow security steps after a breach
  • Submit removal or opt-out requests to supported data brokers
  • Track removal progress where supported
  • Reduce your public data footprint over time

Detected can't guarantee

  • Removal from every website on the internet
  • Instant deletion from all databases
  • That your data will never appear again
  • That breach records can be erased from historical breach datasets
  • That every broker will comply on the same timeline

Why data removal matters

Your personal information can end up in breach databases, people-search sites, marketing lists, and data-broker platforms. Reducing that exposure can help lower unwanted contact, impersonation risk, phishing risk, and general privacy exposure.

Less public exposure

Reduce the amount of personal information available on people-search sites and data-broker platforms.

Better breach awareness

Know where your email has appeared in data leaks so you can take informed action.

More control over your data

Take steps to manage where your personal information appears and reduce unwanted contact.
