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.

How to Remove Yourself from PeekYou

PeekYou is different from most people search sites. They specialize in connecting your real identity to your social media accounts, blog posts, and online activity. They'll link your Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and personal websites to your real name and location. This makes them especially creepy for anyone who tries to keep their online and offline identities separate.

5
Confirm removal after processing
PeekYou says processing takes up to 30 days, though it's usually faster. Check back in a week and search for your name to see if the profile is gone. If it's still there after 30 days, email their support.

> Where PeekYou gets your data

PeekYou crawls publicly visible social media profiles, personal blogs, news mentions, and public records. They use algorithms to match social media usernames to real identities. If your Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter profile is public, PeekYou has probably already linked it to your real name. Making your social media profiles private can reduce the data PeekYou collects going forward, but it won't remove what's already there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does PeekYou know my social media accounts?▼

PeekYou crawls public social media profiles and uses pattern matching to connect usernames to real identities. If any of your profiles are public, they've likely found them.

How long does PeekYou take to remove my profile?▼

They claim up to 30 days, but most removals happen within a week. If you don't see results after 30 days, contact them directly.

Will PeekYou unlink my social media after opt-out?▼

Yes. Opting out removes your entire profile, including all linked social media accounts. However, if your social profiles are still public, PeekYou might reconstruct your profile later from fresh crawls.

Can I remove specific social media links without removing my whole profile?▼

No. PeekYou's opt-out is all or nothing. You either remove the entire profile or leave it as-is. There's no option to selectively unlink specific accounts.

Done with PeekYou? You probably have 20 to 40 more broker listings to remove.
