Privacy Shield now can scan the Dark Web to look for exposure of your email address or password.

The Dark Web

The Dark Web is made up of sites that you can’t access through traditional search engines such as Google, Safari, or Firefox. Most of the Dark Web is dedicated to the buying and selling of stolen financial and personal information. If your information ends up on the Dark Web — for instance, after a data breach — an identity thief could gain access to it.

How VIPRE is Protecting you

VIPRE employs a Dark Web scanning algorithm that searches for traces of your email account or password in breached databases.

NOTE: The Dark Web is vast and, unfortunately, it isn't possible for any company to search the entire Dark Web. While a scan can uncover when your data has been exposed, it may not always find every instance of this.

When searching for your personal information in the VIPRE Privacy Shield Dark Web scanner, the searched data is never stored. Only the bare minimum logs required to keep the service operational and combat malicious activity are stored, including transient web server logs. Refer to VIPRE Privacy Policy for additional details.
