Privacy Bee
Privacy Bee scans for exposed personal information and works to remove it from data brokers and other sites through automation and human effort. Its dashboard displays a Privacy Risk Score and removal status, and the company says it documents removals with screenshots. An encrypted Identity Vault stores information used to monitor for exposures and start takedown requests. Plans include continuous monitoring because information can reappear after removal. Privacy Bee says its network includes 1,148 data brokers and 185,269 additional companies worldwide, though plan coverage varies: Essentials lists 517 data brokers, while Pro and Signature list 1,148. A free scan shows exposures without requiring a credit card, but is not described as a free trial of a paid plan. Essentials and Pro have a 30-day money-back guarantee; Signature does not. Privacy Bee says it cannot remove government records or some public records and does not provide reputation management for bad reviews. Android, iPhone, and iPad apps are available. Essentials costs $8 a month and Pro costs $16 a month, approximately when billed annually; Signature costs $67 a month, approximately when billed annually.
