Better than the one I had before

Switched over from the free version of another privacy service and this is miles better for the money. Been a customer a good few years now and the monthly scan of sites holding my details has never let me down, the emails are clear and to the point.

The data broker dashboard

I use the data broker dashboard every week to check which sites still have my address. Shows you exactly which listings came back after a removal. It can be slow to load on my old phone, but the information is solid.

Worth it for the price

Tried a couple of cheaper options before settling on this one. The coverage is noticeably better and the price is fair for what you get each month. Sign up was quick and I have not had to contact them yet.

Not as thorough as the other one

Compared it with the other big name and this one flags far fewer listings on my details. I expected the removal requests to be more hands on than they are. It works, but I would have expected more from the price.

Cheap enough to just try

Needed something after my email got caught up in a leak and I wanted to keep the spend down. The starter plan was cheap enough to just try for a month. Sign up took five minutes and it has been easy to keep going.

the auto removal request

I set up the auto removal request for a people search site that kept popping up under my name. The request itself was quick to send, though the site took a few weeks to confirm. Still, the listing is gone now and the dashboard shows it.

Quicker than the rest

Compared it with a rival that takes a week to start removing listings. This one begins within a couple of days and the reports are clearer. The price is a little higher than the cheapest option.

The removal reports

The removal reports are the bit I actually look at. It shows which brokers have taken my details down and when. Quick check on the bus and that is it, cheers.

Needed it for my business

Needed something to keep an eye on the staff email addresses after a supplier got hacked. Looked at three or four before going with this. Signing up for the team account was painless and the dashboard shows what is exposed.

The family plan

Went for the family plan after comparing three or four. Covers all four of us and the app is easy enough for my wife to use without ringing me. Nothing has gone wrong yet.

Took a while to get going

First time using it and I signed up expecting the scan to show results straight away. It took a couple of days before the first report appeared in the app. Once it did, the listings were useful and the price is fine.

Sensible and well put together

Knowing the area, I was wary of the bundled extras, but the core monitoring is solid and the alerts are clear. The scan of data broker sites picks up far more than the free tools. Support answered a question about a broker within a day. Setup took about twenty minutes and I have had no reason to fiddle with it since.

Fair price but a slow return

Compared it with a couple of other services that do much the same, and this one is pricier once you add the extras. I wanted to cancel a plan I had taken on by mistake and the refund form was fiddly to find. It took several emails and about three weeks before the money was back. The service itself has been decent enough and I do not regret trying it.

Signing up was quick

The sign up took about five minutes and I was in straight away, which was the first thing I noticed. First time using it so I wasn't sure what to expect from the first scan, and it did take a day or so before the results showed properly on my dashboard. Once it was going the alerts were easy to follow and I've not had any trouble since.

Does exactly what it needs to

Best thing I have done for my online privacy in ages. Settings are sensible, the monitoring of my data brokers finds the listings quickly and the removal requests go through without me chasing them. Set it up in an evening and it has mostly left me alone since.

needed it after a scam text

Got a dodgy text pretending to be my bank and a mate said to check my details online. Turns out my email and phone number were all over broker sites. Signed up on the bus, took about five minutes, and the alerts have been handy since. Would do it again.

The scam call filter

I bought the call filter add-on after my husband received a rather unpleasant call pretending to be from the tax office. It has caught a fair few since. The setup needed my phone settings adjusting, which took me the best part of an afternoon and I did have to ring support twice. Once it was working it has been a real comfort.

The breach alerts

The breach alerts are what got me. They told me my old password had turned up in a leak before I had even heard about it. Setup was simple and I have had no surprises since.

Been with them years

I needed something to stop the endless junk calls and emails after my details got about. I have been a customer for a good few years now. Renewal is simple, the support team picked up when I rang, and the removals still happen in the background. Only dinged a star because the app redesign made the menus harder to find.
