I ran the free scan before committing to anything — it only asked for my name and email, no card — and the results came back in under a minute. What caught me off guard was how much of my data was already exposed; seeing it laid out is very different from vaguely knowing it’s “out there.” My Privacy Risk Score landed at 50/100 (medium risk), with 6 exposures found and 2 removals already completed.
Filling in the Identity Vault took me about two to five minutes — name, emails, home address — and it’s worth doing properly, because the more accurate it is, the better it matches your exposures. Over the next few days the change I cared about showed up: my risk score started dropping — not instantly, but visibly.
If you’re new to this, my one piece of advice is simple: run the free scan first. It costs nothing, needs no card, and that first look tells you whether paying is even worth it for you.
