The best way to prevent data brokers from selling your data is to prevent them from having access to it in the first place. With Cloaked identities, you can substitute generated email addresses and phone numbers to avoid your data reappearing on data broker sites.

Have I Been Breached is a free tool built by Cloaked to check for data breaches. Data breaches occur when hackers steal databases from large organizations that include sensitive customer data, including contact information like your email address and phone number.

Use the free scan on haveibeenbreached.com to see which websites have leaked your data, and use Cloaked identities to generate new information and update your accounts ASAP.

During your data removal scan, names and info about your family members may also have appeared in one or more data brokers’ records. The inverse may also be true - if data brokers maintain data profiles about your family members, your data may still be at risk. It’s important that your family be aware of the potential risks and take the appropriate steps to protect themselves online.
