How PureVPN Identity Threat Protection Works

Personal information does not disappear just because you stop using an old account or service. Identity Threat Protection helps you see where those details may still be showing up. Add the information you want monitored, and PureVPN scans dark web sources for matches. If something turns up, you can see what was exposed and get guidance on what to do next. Your personal data can also end up on data broker sites. We identify where it appears, send out opt-out requests on your behalf, and let you keep an eye on their status.

Check If Your Information Has Appeared on the Dark Web

Know when sensitive information tied to you has surfaced.

Want to Monitor

Add What You Want to Monitor

Tell us which details matter to you, whether that is an email address, phone number, credit card, passport, or SSN/NIN.

Match Is Detected

Get Alerts When a Match Is Detected

No need to keep checking manually. If one of your monitored details is detected, you are notified with context around the finding.

Action Based

Take Action Based on the Exposure

Each finding comes with guidance, so you understand what the exposure means and which steps make sense for the information involved.

Remove Yourself from Data Broker and People-Search Sites

Reduce how much of your details these sites expose.

Find Brokers Holding Your Info

See which broker sites have built records around your name, contact details, and other information tied to you.

Authorize Automated Removal Requests

Give the go-ahead once, and opt-out requests are sent on your behalf without making you work through each broker separately.

Track Everything Through a Dashboard

Keep an eye on every request from one place, with clear status updates as brokers respond or complete the removal.

Who Is PureVPN Identity Threat Protection For?

PureVPN Identity Threat Protection is useful for people who have multiple online accounts, run a business, maintain a public presence, or simply want fewer personal details circulating beyond their control.

  • Remote Workers
  • Small Business
  • Public-Facing
  • Privacy-Conscious
Remote Workers and Freelancers

Remote Workers and Freelancers

Using the same device for client work, payments, email, and collaboration can tie several accounts back to the same identity. One exposed detail can make the rest easier to target.

Small Business Owners

Small Business Owners

Owners often have contact and business details across directories, payment services, supplier accounts, and registrations, which gives scammers more material for convincing fraud.

Public-Facing Professionals

Public-Facing Professionals

The more visible your work is, the easier it becomes to connect separate details about you. That can make impersonation, harassment, and targeted scams more convincing.

Privacy-Conscious Users

Privacy-Conscious Users

Even careful users cannot control every old account, breach, or broker database. Personal information can remain available long after you stop actively sharing it.

Dark Web Monitoring and Remove My Data use your information differently. Monitoring details are encrypted rather than kept in readable form, while Remove My Data needs the information you provide to search for matching broker records and send requests you authorize.

What information can PureVPN monitor for on the dark web?

plus
plus

Monitoring goes beyond your email address. You can also add phone numbers, credit card numbers without the CVV, passport numbers, and SSN/NIN or other supported national identity numbers.

How long does it take for data brokers to remove my information?

plus

The timeline depends on the broker, not PureVPN. Some process opt-outs faster than others. If a request receives no response, it can be sent again after 60 days, with its status visible in the dashboard.

What else can I do to reduce the risk of identity theft?

Identity Threat Protection deals with information that has already been exposed or collected by brokers. Account security still matters, so use unique passwords, enable MFA, install updates, and be careful with phishing attempts.
