Kanary vs MyDataRemoval

Kanary is a digital and physical attack surface management platform for individuals. It creates a risk model for each person, searches for personal data exposures, and provides intelligence intended for audit and response. Its scans cover data brokers, search engines, social media, and AI/LLM sources using searches modeled on attacker behavior. Automated operations include scans, removal requests, escalation emails, regulator complaints, and audits and fixes for account security settings. Reports include screenshots and direct links to listings, with monthly email reports and on-demand PDF or API reporting. Team accounts support SSO for Okta, Entra, and Google, plus API access for security and reporting integrations. Kanary says it is GDPR, NIST CSF 2.0, and SOC 2 compliant, and that it never sells, shares, or discloses personal information. Core costs $25 a month for U.S. residents, but its managed scans cover only a subset of top sites, not all sites, social media, or LLMs. Advanced costs $50 a month and lists full-coverage monitoring with social media and LLM coverage.

MyDataRemoval helps US residents remove personal information from people-search websites and data brokers. Human review and algorithms locate data, submit removal requests and report which sites held it and when it was removed. Covered sites are scanned each month because removed information can reappear. The covered-sites page lists 232 sites, including 23 premium sites reserved for Premium plans. Free Scan costs nothing, requires no card and shows exposed data without removing it. Standard costs $8.33 a month, billed $99.99 per year, and includes people-search and major-broker removals, monthly monitoring and up to five addresses per individual. Premium costs $499 a year and adds the 23 premium sites and priority support. The web service offers family coverage, assisted requests and periodic removal.
