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 SpyFly (Step-by-Step)

SpyFly markets itself as a public records search tool, but what it really does is aggregate your personal data, including criminal records and sex offender registry information, into profiles that anyone can search. Even if you have no criminal history, your name and address can appear next to crime data for your area, which creates misleading associations. Their opt-out process requires email verification but is otherwise straightforward.

> Where SpyFly gets your data

SpyFly accesses criminal justice databases, sex offender registries, county court records, property filings, and standard data aggregator feeds. They compile this information into profiles that mix mundane contact details with sensitive criminal justice data. The combination of regular people search data with criminal records is what makes SpyFly particularly problematic. Even a clean record can be displayed alongside nearby crime data in misleading ways.
