Very happy Privacyhawk user. Got me deleted from something like 70 data broker databases, and their digital footprint tool is killer, found like 400 companies I had my data and made it easy to send messages to their privacy departments to delete my data. Also, I recently upgraded to their platinum product that also includes identity monitoring and insurance, great peace of mind. I will say that the data broker removal process took longer than I expected. But I guess there's not really anything they can do because the data broker is just take a while to process them. I feel better knowing that my data isn't just out there all over the place where scammers and hackers can get a hold of it. Would definitely recommend.

Hi Todd, Thanks for the great feedback! We’re glad the data broker removals and digital footprint tool have been helpful, and we appreciate your patience—it can take time for data brokers to process removal requests made on your behalf. It’s awesome to hear the Platinum upgrade is giving you peace of mind. If you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out! Best, The PrivacyHawk Team

App was broken when I subscribed. Their own servers couldn't communicate with their app. 400 Bad Request Error. Didn't offer ANYTHING to make up for it. App is advertised as "Automatically Removing" you from these public records database, then it asks you fill out a bunch of forms and click on email links to actually get removed. Nothing worked as advertised. This is outright consumer fraud. It's also pretty obvious they paid for reviews on the app store. Every time they get a few bad ones all the sudden floods of good reviews come in saying almost the exact same thing. App also asks for permission to download ALL of your emails. The permissions this app asks for are out of line. As poorly as this app is coded, I'm just left wondering how long it'll be before they're hacked and all my emails are leaked.

Hello Clayton, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with our app and the frustration this has caused. We appreciate you bringing the server communication issue to our attention. As mentioned in the last communication sent to you by the customer support representative assigned, our team acted swiftly to resolve the error within minutes of your report and notified you just as quickly. We regret that this resolution did not align with your expectations for compensation, and we are open to discussing this further to find a more satisfying resolution. In terms of the process for removing personal information, I want to clarify the use of the opt-out verification forms related to BeenVerified and PeopleConnect – these forms are intended to speed up the removal process due to procedural changes made by these companies. While filling out these forms is just a recommendation for quicker results and is not mandatory, we recognize that it may have been inconvenient. We want to assure you that the removal of your information will still be processed even without these forms, although it might take a bit longer. Additionally, we’re actively working on an update that will remove the need for these forms altogether, aiming for a more streamlined experience. Concerning the email permissions required by our app, please know that these are solely for identifying potential vulnerabilities and managing opt-out requests efficiently. We never download or store your emails. Your privacy is our top priority, and our permissions are designed with the utmost respect for your data security. We’re here to help and want to ensure that all your concerns are thoroughly addressed. Could you please reach out to us directly at [email protected]? We would love to discuss this further and find a satisfactory solution for you. Thank you once again for your feedback. We are committed to restoring your trust and hope to resolve these concerns to your satisfaction. Best, The PrivacyHawk Team

I had good results cleaning up my private information that was all over google. Some results took longer than others. I would say about half results were removed pretty quickly, within a couple weeks to a month, and the rest took longer, some up to 6 months. I wouldn't blame the company though, all they can do is submit a removal request. I also want people to know that google itself recently launched a tool to remove results from their search, it's under "Remove this result" next to the result. However, unlike PrivacyHawk or another removal service, this won't remove your results from 3rd party websites.

Hello and thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with PrivacyHawk. We’re thrilled to hear about the results you’re seeing from using the app. Your understanding of the removal times and overall challenges involved in the process is greatly appreciated, as is your mention of the recent tool launched by Google to remove search results. You’re absolutely right; while such tools can help manage your digital footprint directly on search engines, services like PrivacyHawk are designed to extend these efforts to third-party websites, offering a more comprehensive solution. Thank you once again for your feedback and for choosing PrivacyHawk. We are working hard every day to ensure you have better control over your private data. If there’s anything more we can do to support you or improve your experience, please let us know at [email protected]. Best, The PrivacyHawk Team

Sends me spam emails 'on behalf' of people I've never heard of asking me to'Delete' or 'Not sell' their data. I never had any data on any of these random people until PrivacyHawk sends it to me! It's happened before and they promised it wouldn't happen anymore but it does. It makes me wonder what exactly they are charging people for!
