PrivacyHawk: Automated Personal Data Protection

PrivacyHawk is a company founded in 2021 by cybersecurity and technology professionals, headquartered in Los Angeles, California (United States). Its activity focuses on giving users back control over their personal information and reducing the risk of fraud, scams, identity theft, and spam. The company presents itself as a privacy advocate and argues that consumers cannot rely on governments, corporations, or other institutions alone to protect themselves from data breaches, manipulation, or cyberattacks.

Digital Footprint and Data Deletion

The core service locates companies exposing personal data and, through an AI agent, automatically generates and completes deletion and do-not-sell requests. The user decides which companies keep their data and which should delete it or stop selling it. The tool also reduces the risk of data breaches and allows users to regain control over their personal information.

Data Broker Removal

PrivacyHawk scans the web for data brokers selling personal information, aiming to reduce the risk of identity theft, scams, and spam. The system automatically removes data from these brokers and re-scans monthly to detect and remove new exposures. It also offers custom broker removals upon request.

Subscription Cancellation and Spam

The platform scans the user's inbox for unwanted emails and, through its AI agent, automatically cancels subscriptions. The system repeats the scan periodically to find new exposures.

Identity Theft Protection

The service includes identity theft insurance up to $5 million, an identity restoration service for victims, and daily dark web and data breach monitoring. Monitoring covers sensitive information such as Social Security number, contact details (phone, email, and address), IDs (driver's license, medical ID, and passport), and financial data (bank accounts and credit cards).

RoboHawk: Call and Message Blocking

RoboHawk is a separate app owned by PrivacyHawk that automatically blocks spam calls and messages. Setup takes just a few minutes, and the company claims 5 billion robocalls and texts stopped and 12 million known spammers. RoboHawk is available at no cost to PrivacyHawk Platinum customers.

Privacy Score and Patented Technology

PrivacyHawk offers a free privacy score, similar to a credit score, that summarizes on a 300-850 scale the level of exposure of the user's personal data. The company claims to be the only AI agent that automatically identifies and eliminates personal data exposures, and backs this technology with US patents: US-12164674-B1 and US-11960629-B1 for the privacy score, and US-12159324-B1 and US-11948219-B1 for the AI privacy agent. According to its presentation, it has the world's largest database of companies that share, buy, and sell consumer data.

Team and Activity

The founding team consists of engineers and consumer data experts. Aaron Mendes is CEO and co-founder. The structure includes roles in software engineering, data analysis, UI/UX design, marketing, content, customer support, and community and social media management. The company states it has reached 2 million protected users and over 30 million data points processed, and its app ranks among the top 10,000 in the utilities category.
