Protect Your Online Presence with Privacy Scan

Notes: How it Works

• You must have a paid plan.

• We contact the broker sites with the data and request they remove it.

• Within 3-20 days - Removal starts and shows up within the dashboard menu (Privacy Scan). Some removals might require an extra step.

• Within 45 days - Your data exposures are removed.

• After 45 days - We automatically check broker sites for new exposures and remove them.

• From within your online account, you can access the Privacy Scan feature from the left-side menu on the dashboard.
• Here is the direct link: https://dashboard.youmail.com/privacy/scan 

1. To start the scan, you will need to enter: 
   First and Last Name. 
   Age/Birth Year
   City 
   State
2. Selecting "Run Free Scan" will scan these online directories for matching information. 

• Scanning can take up to 90 seconds. In this time DO NOT refresh the tab or move away from this loading screen until done. 

• Once the scan is complete it will display how many exposures it found across the displayed number of data broker sites. 
• You can preview the list of sites by scrolling the list shown. 
• If you need to you can rescan if any information provided is incorrect. 
• To start the scrubbing process, you'll need to select the "Remove All Info" button. 

• No immediate removals should be expected. But as time passes, the progress bar will indicate the process is working towards completion.
• The tabs below will display how many items have already been removed and how many are still in progress. 
• The Red Triangle indicates that for some records in progress, there are additional steps that manually need to be done to facilitate the successful removal of your data. 

• Select the "Action Required" drop-down in order to see what sites require additional instructions. 
• The additional actions bar will be located at the top of all located exposures. 

• Please follow the on-screen instructions in order to process the removal. 
• Some sites are duplicated. For example, only one Spokeo request needs to be actioned in order for all Spokeo requests to be removed. Ensure that the user scans the list to action individual site requests.
