You use your email for everyday things, from shopping and booking trips to signing up for apps and staying in touch.
But if one of those services suffers a data breach, would you know if your information was exposed?
Find out which known data breaches are linked to your email with a free scan. A stranger may know more about you than you think, including personal details like your age, address, or family connections.
Check your email, then share the free scan with someone you care about.
A stranger may already know your age, address, family details and SSN

Why check?
An account you’ve forgotten about may still hold information about you. If that service suffers a breach, details you shared years ago could be exposed.
Depending on the breach, that could include your email address, password or other personal information.
Knowing which accounts may be affected helps you decide where to start.
It can also help you understand why some scams feel surprisingly personal.
When a scam sounds like someone you love
“I’m in trouble. Please send money.”
You hear a familiar voice. The caller mentions details you recognize. Your first instinct is to help.
Scammers count on that reaction. AI can imitate a loved one’s voice, and exposed personal details can make a false story more believable.
In a virtual kidnapping scam, someone demands ransom for a person who hasn’t actually been abducted. They may pressure you to pay immediately or insist you keep the call secret.
If this happens, pause. Contact your loved one using a number you already know before sending money. A familiar voice alone doesn’t prove an emergency is real.
What does the free scan tell you?
The scan at identity.purevpn.com shows known data breaches linked to the email address you enter.
It gives you a starting point for reviewing accounts that may need attention. It won’t find every detail about you online or detect fake calls, but it can reveal breach exposure you didn’t know about.
Knowing where your email appears in known breach records gives you a clearer place to start.
If your results show an affected account:
- Review the account. Check its security settings and any breach guidance from the service.
- Change exposed or reused passwords. Use a different password for each account.
- Turn on multi-factor authentication. This adds another check when you sign in, where supported.
You don’t have to fix everything at once. Start with the accounts identified in your report.
Help your circle check, too
Someone you care about may never have checked whether their email has appeared in a breach.
A parent. Your partner. A friend who has used the same address for years.
Once you’ve completed your scan, invite two people in your circle to check theirs. Each person receives their own private breach report. When both complete qualifying scans, you unlock seven days of Digital Privacy Protection, on us.
You could say:
“I checked my email for known data breaches. This scan is free if you’d like to check yours, too.”
It’s a small, practical way to look out for each other.
Beyond the free scan
A free scan helps you see known breaches linked to your email. Digital Privacy Protection helps with what comes next — keeping watch for new exposure across supported sources, sending removal requests to supported data brokers, and showing you the progress.
Less checking on your own. More of the privacy work handled.
Start with your email. Then pass it on.
You don’t need to wait for a scare to check.
