How do I check if my personal data was exposed in a data breach?

Enter your email address at tryexpose.com to run a free scan. EXPOSE checks your information against known data breaches, people search sites, social media, public records, and 300+ websites to show you exactly where your data appears online.

Is my personal information on the dark web?

Your data may be exposed without you knowing. EXPOSE scans breach databases that include dark web leaks, leaked passwords, and compromised accounts. A free scan gives you an exposure score, and a full report ($4.99 one-time, or included with subscription plans) shows complete details with removal instructions.

How do I remove my information from data broker sites?

EXPOSE identifies which data brokers and people search sites have your information, then provides step-by-step removal guides and direct opt-out links for each site. Most sites are required by law to honor removal requests within 30-45 days.

Does EXPOSE store my personal data?

No. EXPOSE has a zero-storage policy. Your information is processed in real-time and immediately discarded after your scan completes. Payment is handled securely by Stripe. We only keep a transaction record as required by law.

What is the difference between EXPOSE and data broker sites like Spokeo or WhitePages?

Data brokers collect and sell your personal information without your consent. EXPOSE does the opposite: it shows you where your data is exposed and helps you remove it. We never store, sell, or share your data. You are the customer, not the product.

How many data sources does EXPOSE check?

EXPOSE searches across data breaches, social media platforms, people search sites like Spokeo and WhitePages, public records, court records, political donation records (FEC), professional licenses, and 300+ websites for username and profile matches.

> Where CheckPeople gets your data

CheckPeople aggregates data from the same sources as every other people search site: public records, voter registration files, property records, phone directories, and commercial data brokers. They buy bulk data feeds and make them searchable. There's nothing unique about their data collection. That's part of what makes the data broker ecosystem so frustrating. The same data gets recycled across dozens of sites, and you have to opt out of each one individually.
