“We are excited to be part of PrivacyHawk’s journey to help protect the personal data of everyone”

PrivacyHawk is pioneering the new category of personal data protection. The product protects individuals’ personal data from falling into the wrong hands, which is becoming one of the most pressing issues facing humanity today. Our personal data and our digital footprints are critical parts of our identity and can be used against us in many ways if we don’t protect them. Technology to protect personal data is needed because it’s too difficult for individuals to manage and protect their data without it.

“Our personal data has emerged as one of the most valuable things about us,” said PrivacyHawk CEO and co-founder, Aaron Mendes. “It also puts us each at enormous risk of fraud, identity theft, hacks, scams and spam. PrivacyHawk is building a future where people’s data can be automatically protected from falling into the wrong hands by reducing their digital footprints.”

Product enhancements will include additional automation and the use of AI to help identify digital footprint vulnerabilities and optimize the ability to remove those exposures.
