Take control of your privacy online

Personal Data Cleanup regularly scans data broker sites for your personal info, notifies you if it’s found, and, depending on your plan, will send automatic requests to remove it.

Keep an eye on your finances

Help protect your finances with Credit and Transaction Monitoring of your bank account and credit card activity, plus receive alerts to unusual activity.

Maintain a clean slate online

The more online accounts you have open, the more likely it is that one of them may be involved in a data breach. Online Account Cleanup scans to find out which companies have your personal info and provides instructions on how to delete it. With a McAfee+ Ultimate plan, we'll remove it for you.

Frequently asked questions

These answers might help.

What's included in McAfee+ family plans?

Family plans come with identity theft protection, online privacy, and device security for up to 6 family members (up to 2 adults and 4 children) without having to share logins. Each family member can set up their own identity, privacy, and device protection features in the way that works best for them.
Each family member gets their own, Individual Protection Score, which shows how safe they are, with guidance on how to improve their protection. Plus, parents can help keep their children safe online and limit their risk exposure with parental controls.

How can McAfee help me clean up my online accounts?

We'll show you which companies or websites have access to your personal information and provide steps on how to reach out to them to have it deleted. If you prefer to save time and have McAfee send the requests with a single click, the request will be transmitted directly from your email inbox. We help you send these requests, but we do not act as an agent on your behalf.

Why should my children have online protection?

Kids need protection in many of the same ways adults do. They have Social Security Numbers, which if used for identity theft, could affect their credit standings. They also have usernames and email addresses that could be part of a data breach, finding their way to the dark web where criminals can access them.
When online, children (and adults) need to be notified when a website or link is risky and could lead to a phishing site or a malware download. And of course, device protection on their computers and phones can save them from online threats like viruses and hackers.

What’s included with parental controls?

Parental controls provide you with the ability to supervise and keep your kids safer online. When you sign up for a family plan, you’ll receive easy instructions to get set up with the parental controls app.

See what your kids are up to:

View your kid’s device activity and location at a glance from your phone or desktop.
Set rules and time limits: Start off with age-based rules for apps and websites that you can customize based on your kid’s needs.
Know where your kids are: Locate them on a live map and receive automated notifications when they enter or leave familiar places like a school or the library.
Family requests: Collaborate with your kids by allowing them to request extra app time or access blocked apps or websites.

How do I access my identity protection?

You can access and manage your identity protection on protection.mcafee.com.

How did McAfee choose which data broker sites to monitor?

We selected the sites that we think pose the most privacy threats by looking at a number of criteria, including how prominent they are online, how much data they have in their database, the types of information they collect, and if a site is a data source for other people search sites. While no one can ever be completely immune from privacy and identity risks, knowing where your personal data is being collected and sold is a step in the right direction to reclaiming your privacy online.

How often does McAfee scan for my data on these sites?

We’ll automatically scan for your data every three months if you are enrolled in a plan that supports full-service removal.

How long does it take for McAfee to remove my data?

The time it takes to remove your personal data will vary based on the site. Most will remove your personal data within two weeks, while some can take up to 45 days. For plans that include full-service removal, requests to remove your personal data will be sent automatically, including follow-ups to make sure that your data gets taken down. When it’s all done, we’ll let you know via email and here in your McAfee Protection Center.

Can I request the sites to remove my data by myself?

Yes, you certainly can. However, the process of manually reaching out to each individual person's search site is time consuming – you might just find yourself with a new weekend job. You may even have to provide them with more of your info before they will remove profiles about you. McAfee’s Personal Data Cleanup can do this for you.

What does a security freeze do?

A security freeze stops companies from looking at your credit profile, which halts the application process for loans, credit cards, utilities, new bank accounts and more until the freeze is lifted.

When should I freeze my credit?

A credit freeze protects unauthorized access to your credit report. By freezing your credit proactively, fraudsters can’t open new accounts in your name, even if they have your personal info. A credit freeze has no impact on your credit score. Just remember to unlock or unfreeze your credit information prior to any credit applications.

Credit and bank freezes should be lifted when:

Applying for a loan
Applying for a credit card
Purchasing an item with financing, like a large appliance, car, or house
Refinancing your mortgage

Utility freezes should be lifted when:

Changing your phone, TV or internet service provider
Moving to a different address

Just use the same provided links, sign into your account and follow the instructions to remove a freeze.

Should I freeze my credit with all 3 major credit bureaus?

Yes. Creditors may use different bureaus to access your info. Freezing one leaves the other two open to inquiries.

Will a security freeze prevent identity theft?

Not all identity theft can be prevented. Freezes can greatly mitigate financial damage by preventing unauthorized accounts from being opened in your name.

Will a security freeze affect my credit score?

No. A security freeze simply stops creditors from looking at your credit files. Your score will not be affected.

Why is closing my online accounts important?

When you create an online account, your personal data is added to a company's database and can remain there even after you delete the account. An internet user can have hundreds of online accounts, many of which they might not know are still active.

The more companies that have your personal info, the higher the chance one of them will get breached, putting you at risk of identity theft. We'll help you delete these accounts for good so you can take back control of your privacy and even cut down on annoying spam emails.

How can McAfee help me clean up my online accounts?

We’ll show you which companies or websites have access to your personal information and provide steps on how to reach out to them to have it deleted. If you prefer to save time and have McAfee send the requests with a single click, the request will be transmitted directly from your email inbox. We help you send these requests, but we do not act as an agent on your behalf.

How will you see who has my personal data?

With your approval, we’ll scan the subject lines in your inbox to see which companies are emailing you and how much of your info they might have. We will only look at the email sender, subject line, timestamp, and the first few words of the email—we will not scan the full body of the email or any attachments.

We’ll then help you decide which accounts you want to keep and which you might want to delete to lower the risk of a data breach.

What’s the difference between “Scans” and “Full-service”?

Online Account Cleanup: Scans helps you find any accounts tied to your email and gives you clear instructions to reclaim your data. Online Account Cleanup: Scans is included in all McAfee+ plans.

Online Account Cleanup: Full-service not only finds your accounts, but lets the experts send the data deletion requests for you with a single click, saving you up to 10 hours or more* of manual work. Online Account Cleanup: Full-service is only included with McAfee+ Ultimate plans.

Additional FAQs for Social Privacy Manager

How does Social Privacy Manager work?
Social Privacy Manager is a web extension that lets you manage your privacy settings across social media all from one place.

We do this by scanning your privacy settings on the different social media platforms you've connected and recommending changes that can help improve your privacy. You can choose which recommendations to apply and update your settings on each platform right from the extension.

Does McAfee scan all my settings on each social media platform?
We only scan key privacy settings on each platform you select. We organize these settings into four main categories: content visibility, ad preferences, social interactions, and platform experience.

You can review these settings by category on the Summary page.

What are my privacy recommendations based on?
Your privacy recommendations are based on the user type you select. This ensures our recommendations are tailored around how you use social media. For example, if someone prefers to post publicly on social media, we won't recommend an update that would make their posts private.

You can change your user type at any time from your Social Privacy Manager settings. When you do, we'll scan your settings on each platform again and update your recommendations based on your new user type.

Can McAfee see my private social media posts and messages?
We don't see any of your private social media posts, messages, or any other private data connected to your accounts, browser history, or device. We also will never post on your behalf or make changes to your profile.

Social Privacy Manager only looks at your privacy settings and can only update your settings when you approve.
