Plain-English privacy help
About Check Privacy Score
Check Privacy Score was built to make online privacy easier to understand and easier to act on — for normal people, not just technical experts.
Built for honesty
Exposure scores are clearly labeled as estimates throughout the app. We don't claim to scan the entire internet. We help you understand what to check and how to prioritize cleanup.
Minimal data collection
The tools are designed to require as little sensitive information as possible. No Social Security numbers, no driver's license numbers, no banking details. You can start with just an email address.
Practical over flashy
The goal is always actionable cleanup guidance — not an alarming dashboard that makes you feel helpless. Every score comes with specific steps you can actually take.
Why Check Privacy Score exists
Most people have no idea how much of their personal information is publicly available online. Home addresses, phone numbers, past addresses, family members' names, and more can appear on data broker sites without anyone ever opting in. This information can be used by scammers, stalkers, identity thieves, and aggressive marketers.
The problem isn't awareness — most people have heard about data brokers and privacy risks. The problem is that cleaning it up feels overwhelming, technical, and time-consuming. Check Privacy Score is designed to make that process feel manageable.
What the app actually does
Check Privacy Score gives you an estimated exposure risk score based on the type of information you enter — an email address, phone number, full name, address, or business name. The score is an estimate based on known risk factors associated with each type of information. It is not a real-time scan of every database on the internet, and it is labeled that way clearly throughout the app.
The app also includes verified checks — tools that run real checks against actual data sources. The Password Exposure Check, for example, checks whether a password appears in known breach data using a privacy-safe method that never sends your full password anywhere. These are labeled "verified" because a real check actually runs.
The distinction between estimated and verified is one of the most important design decisions in the app. Many privacy tools blur this line. We don't.
Who it's for
Check Privacy Score is designed for normal people who want to reduce their online privacy exposure without needing to understand the technical details of how data brokers work, how breach databases are compiled, or how personal information gets aggregated.
It's also designed for people helping others — parents helping teenagers manage their digital footprint, adult children helping older relatives reduce their exposure to scams, and small business owners separating their personal contact information from their public business presence.
The free tools are genuinely useful. The paid plans add saved history, deeper tracking, and organized workflows for people who are serious about ongoing privacy cleanup.
