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.
Read moreCompared 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.
Read moreCompared 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.

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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
