PrivacyHawk removes employee data exposure instead of just reporting it. We build an inventory of every third party holding data on each employee, using signals from corporate email.
Our AI agents then delete unused accounts, submit data-erasure requests, remove employees from data broker sites, and keep monitoring so the data doesn’t come back. The technology that fills out and submits those requests is patented. Most other tools stop at showing you where the exposure is.
PrivacyHawk removes the exposure instead of just managing it. We delete the accounts employees no longer use and send erasure requests so vendors stop holding your employees’ data. If one of those vendors is breached later, there’s nothing of yours to leak.
Nudge Security and Grip Security also find the SaaS accounts employees create with work email, but they focus on securing access to them: revoking access, improving credential hygiene with MFA and SSO, and running offboarding workflows. The data stays with the vendor.
PrivacyHawk finds the vendors your security team doesn’t know about and removes your data from them. We start from employee inboxes to discover the apps and services employees signed up for on their own, then delete unused accounts and the data behind them. Vendor security posture scoring is coming soon.
TPRM platforms and security ratings services only assess vendors you already know about, using questionnaires or outside-in scans, and they can’t remove your data from any vendor.
PrivacyHawk protects the work data most likely to compromise your company: login credentials, customer information, and sensitive company data held by the vendors and apps employees use for work. Nearly half of all breaches (48%) now involve a third party, according to Verizon’s 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report.
PrivacyHawk is designed and priced to cover every employee, not just executives, and personal data broker removal is available as an add-on.
Executive protection services like BlackCloak, and data broker removal services like DeleteMe, Incogni, OneRep, Cloaked, and Optery, only remove personal information from the web. They do nothing about employee work data held by third parties.
PrivacyHawk’s digital footprint protection technology works with major enterprise email security and workplace productivity suites like Outlook and Google Workspace to identify the work digital footprint of each employee.
On average we find 200 employee data exposures per employee in the organization. For companies with thousands of employees, that is millions of data risks left unaddressed.
Most of these old accounts are no longer used, but have never been cancelled or deleted. So when these third party vendors like various SaaS providers have a breach, all that employee data including login credentials, customer information, and sensitive employee information gets leaked and used to compromise your organization.
Only PrivacyHawk addresses this by using agentic AI to 1) identify the individual digital footprint of each employee and 2) empower them to delete old, unused accounts to reduce the risk of that information being in a breach.
1. PrivacyHawk scans email headers to identify the companies each employee has accounts with.
2. Your security team or the employee reviews the list and approves what to remove. Nothing is sent without approval.
3. Our AI agents submit account-deletion and data-erasure requests to each company, using privacy rights such as GDPR’s right to erasure and U.S. state privacy laws where they apply.
4. PrivacyHawk keeps monitoring for data that reappears and removes it again.
PrivacyHawk finds and cancels SaaS subscriptions your company is still paying for but no longer uses. Employees often sign up for paid tools with their work email and expense them, and those subscriptions keep renewing after a project ends or someone changes roles.
Because PrivacyHawk discovers paid and expensed accounts alongside free ones, it can flag the unused ones and cancel them. Fewer unused accounts also means fewer places for company data to leak.
No. PrivacyHawk reads email headers only, to identify which companies have sent mail to each employee. It never accesses message bodies or attachments. That tells us which third parties hold some employee data, and we deliberately don’t collect what that data is.
PrivacyHawk connects through an app your admin approves, listed in both the Google Workspace and Microsoft marketplaces after passing their security reviews. Nothing is installed on employee devices, and no employee passwords are needed. In Google Workspace, PrivacyHawk has read-only access to email metadata and your user directory.
PrivacyHawk has a SOC 2 Type 2 report, has completed Google’s CASA Tier 2 security assessment, and is approved for the Google Workspace and Microsoft marketplaces after their security reviews. We’re regularly pen tested, have never failed one, and hold an A+ RiskRecon security score.
PrivacyHawk stores minimal employee information and requires no sensitive login credentials. It works alongside existing email security products such as Cloudflare, Microsoft, Mimecast, Barracuda, Darktrace, CrowdStrike, Proofpoint, and Cisco.
Our SOC 2 report and detailed security documentation are available through your account team, and our Trust & Security page has more detail.
No personal information is ever used to train AI models. Microsoft 365 data is used for training only in fully anonymized form, and Google Workspace data is handled under Google’s API Limited Use requirements.
Your tenant data is deleted immediately when you ask, revoke PrivacyHawk’s access, or cancel. Backups are purged within 7 days.
Yes, along with being the only service that protects employee data, PrivacyHawk also offers personal data removal as an optional add-on to protect employees’ privacy and reduce their risk of compromising the company through personal information exposure.
Yes, PrivacyHawk provides daily dark web monitoring as an optional add-on for all your team members’ personal and work information. Companies may also purchase personal identity protection for their employees’ personal identities that includes restoration and up to $5M in insurance for personal losses resulting from theft or fraud related to their personal information and identity.
