What is PrivacyHawk?

arrow_down

PrivacyHawk is a data privacy app that shows you which companies have your personal information and automates the process of removing it. That includes data brokers who collect and sell your data without your knowledge, as well as companies you've directly done business with. Most people have their information exposed in 400+ places. PrivacyHawk finds them and helps you take action.

How does PrivacyHawk work?

arrow_down

PrivacyHawk works in two steps. First, it scans for data brokers — companies that collect and sell your personal information — and sends automated deletion and opt-out requests on your behalf. Second, if you want a more complete picture of your digital footprint, you can optionally connect your email so PrivacyHawk can identify every company that has your data, including retailers, subscription services, and more. You can see results and decide what to do before committing to anything.

What does PrivacyHawk protect me from?

 PrivacyHawk reduces your exposure to spam calls, scam targeting, identity theft risk, and unwanted marketing by removing your personal data from the companies that distribute it. Both data brokers and the broader digital footprint of companies you've done business with contribute to spam and scam exposure — reducing both gives you more complete protection. The fewer companies that have your data, the lower your risk of being exposed in a data breach. If you're not in their database, you're not exposed in their breach.

How does PrivacyHawk protect my information while using the app?

PrivacyHawk stores only the minimum data required for the app to function — your name, address, and any optional fields you choose to provide to automate removal requests. All personal data is protected with secure encryption. You can see exactly what PrivacyHawk has stored about you at any time within the app, and you can request deletion of all your data whenever you choose.
