Solves a real problem! Really effective tool for removing personal info online.

BrandYourself’s privacy feature solves a real problem. All I had to do was enter my name, age and location and it quickly found a host of records online containing personal information for me and my family and then removed them for me - saving me hours of work and stress. The tool also keeps checking these sites and removes any new records which is great!"

By just entering in my name, age and city/state the software is able to find exposed private information relating to me and my family in a matter of seconds and successfully remove it all within weeks - saving me hours and hours of work and providing me ongoing protection”

I found some unsettling information…

I found some unsettling information when I googled myself earlier this year - like my home address and family members information - and wanted to get it removed quickly. I researched the best ways to do this, and found BrandYourself. BrandYourself was able to remove everything I found, and then found and removed even more info that I didn't see. The platform is so easy and efficient to use and relatively affordable (I paid $299/yr). An investment for sure, but well worth the peace of mind knowing my info is no longer out there.

So far it's great

So far it's great. Found a bunch of sites with my address and my phone number. Should be illegal. BrandYourself was good, got them removed. I'll give it a few months and see how it goes.

Always ahead of the data exposures.

This company has managed to regain my online privacy by eliminating my personal information from risky and accessible websites. I appreciate the alerts on companies that have been hacked and exposed their customers’ info. It really gives me more confidence and safety.

Over all positive

Over all positive, however as I am a dane from Demark and write my Facebook posts in danish, the social A.I. shows too many negative posts, because some danish words are being interpretated as profanity or some other negative thing. This is extremely annoing !!! Beside that, I really like your system.

Low-budget campaign website

Low-budget campaign website
Brandyourself.com gives me a template and space on the web to use for keeping politically and professionally active.
By using their service, I can make sure voters find me when they want to learn about me as a candidate for whom they will consider voting.

Peace of mind identity monitoring!

I had researched identity monitoring companies after experiencing identity theft. BrandYourself provides a comprehensive monitoring service which has given me such peace of mind. The notifications are timely and they provide excellent reports in terms of what has been potentially exposed and how to fix it, if then have not fixed it already. They also have a customer service department that is above and beyond! Thank you BrandYourself! I will be recommending your service!

Don't believe them.

If you know anything about web development, you'll know their claims are complete lies. Just fear sales tactics to get you to buy premium. No, it is not possible to automatically "scan" over 450 "dark web" sites with god knows how many pages per site in under 30 seconds, hell, it's not even possible in 30 minutes. The only way you can get that kind of data in that short a time is either by browser search which any one with a TOR browser can already do (and I did and found nothing), or by directly accessing an API endpoint supplied by, guess who, the people who own the sites which apparently "stole your information". So unless BrandYourself is partnering with people who steal your information (which I highly doubt), they're just making this up so you buy premium. Don't give these people a cent.

All the risks they removed reappeared

I ran a paid subscription with Brandyourself for a year and then reverted to the free service. As soon as I changed to free, all the risks they had supposedly removed reappeared. Either the dark web has found a work-around for Brandyourself, or its just not a genuine service.

Don’t use - Will engage in Extortion!

After 1 year of no changes to the google search of a article I wanted buried (it was on page 2), i canceled the service. 2 months later they contacted me again wanting me to return and the article was now the top search. The article is over 2 years and under my legal first name which I don’t use. If you don’t pay, they will extort you.

Don’t bother unless you never want to leave them

To be perfectly honest I think I would go as far to say this is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I felt their website does not offer what it says it will (perhaps I just misunderstood what I would get for the £50 a month) and then when you try to cancel the ridiculously priced monthly subscription they seem incapable of doing this. Just asking the same questions even after you’ve already responded. I’m now on week 2 of sending cancellation requests and still haven’t had this confirmed to me!
I appreciate they probably don’t want to loose my monthly subscription however forcing me to stay by ignoring me just isn’t on.
