Questions To Ask First

What exact privacy problem does this tool solve? Does it reduce exposure, improve account security, separate public contact details, or make cleanup easier?

What does the tool not do? Avoid products that make vague promises without explaining limitations.

Billing and Trust Checks

Check pricing, renewal terms, refund policy, cancellation process, support options, and whether the company clearly explains what data it collects.

If the product is hard to cancel or hides pricing details, that is a trust warning.

Setup and Maintenance

A privacy tool only helps if it is configured correctly. Add setup steps to your cleanup planner and schedule a future review.

Keep notes in your dashboard about what you installed, why you installed it, and when you should recheck it.
