How PureVPN Identity Threat Protection Works

Much of your personal data sits beyond the accounts and apps you can see. Identity Threat Protection helps uncover where it has surfaced and gives you practical ways to respond.

Add the details you want covered, and PureVPN checks dark web sources for signs of compromise. When it finds a match, the alert explains what was involved and what to do next.

Your information can also appear on data broker and people-search sites. We find where it exists, send out opt-out requests, and let you track their progress.

Who Is PureVPN Identity Threat Protection For?

PureVPN Identity Threat Protection is built for people whose work, business, or public visibility puts more personal data into circulation, as well as anyone who wants a clearer view of where it ends up.

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

Remote Workers and Freelancers

Client logins, shared files, payout services, and work contacts often rely on the same personal details. One leak can make several accounts and relationships easier to target.

Small Business Owners

Small Business Owners

Public records and vendor accounts can tie owners to their companies, giving scammers material to make fake payment requests or supplier messages look legitimate.

Public-Facing Professionals

Public-Facing Professionals

Interviews, profiles, event pages, and social accounts can expose separate pieces of your identity. Combined, they can support impersonation, harassment, or highly tailored scams.

Privacy-Conscious Users

Privacy-Conscious Users

Blocking trackers and tightening app settings only limit new collection. Older leaks and broker records can still leave personal information available long after it was shared.
