Disclaimer
Last Updated: September 14, 2026
The information and services provided by Digital Family Shield (“Digital Family Shield,” “DFS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are intended to help individuals and families better understand and manage the exposure of personal information online.
By using our website, requesting a Free Privacy Scan, or using our services, you acknowledge and agree to the following disclaimers.
1. Privacy Exposure Information
Digital Family Shield searches and reviews information that may be publicly discoverable through sources such as people-search websites, data brokers, search engines, breach-related resources, and other publicly accessible sources.
The information identified during a privacy exposure scan may be incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, duplicated, or associated with another individual.
Digital Family Shield does not independently verify every piece of information obtained from third-party or public sources and does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of information provided by those sources.
2. Not a Background Check
Digital Family Shield is not a consumer reporting agency and does not provide consumer reports or background checks.
Our privacy exposure scans and related services are not intended to be used to determine a person’s eligibility for employment, housing, credit, insurance, or any other purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar laws.
Information provided by Digital Family Shield should not be used to make eligibility or adverse decisions about another person.
3. No Guarantee of Removal
Digital Family Shield may assist customers with identifying exposed personal information and requesting removal, suppression, opt-out, or correction of information from third-party websites and services.
We cannot guarantee that any third party will remove, suppress, correct, or permanently delete information.
Removal outcomes and processing times depend on the applicable website, data broker, search engine, public-record source, law, verification requirements, and third-party policies.
Information that has been removed may also reappear later if it is republished, reacquired, updated, or obtained from another source.
4. Third-Party Websites and Services
Digital Family Shield is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or responsible for third-party websites, people-search services, data brokers, search engines, breach databases, public-record sources, or other external services unless specifically stated otherwise.
Third-party websites operate under their own terms, privacy policies, procedures, and removal requirements.
Digital Family Shield does not control the availability, accuracy, security, content, or practices of these third parties.
5. Data Breach Information
Digital Family Shield may use reputable breach-related resources to help identify whether an email address or other supported identifier appears in known breach data.
The presence of an identifier in breach-related information does not necessarily mean that an account is currently compromised, that identity theft has occurred, or that a specific individual caused or was responsible for the breach.
Likewise, the absence of an identifier from available breach information does not guarantee that an account or personal information has never been exposed.
6. No Legal, Financial, Credit, or Identity-Theft Advice
Digital Family Shield provides privacy education, exposure discovery, removal assistance, monitoring, and related privacy support.
Information provided through our website, reports, communications, or services is for general informational and privacy-support purposes and does not constitute legal, financial, tax, credit, insurance, or professional identity-theft advice.
You should consult an appropriately qualified professional when advice specific to your legal, financial, credit, or other circumstances is required.
7. Security Limitations
Digital Family Shield takes reasonable measures to protect information under our control, but no website, network, transmission method, storage system, or security measure can guarantee absolute security.
Our services cannot guarantee that your personal information will never be exposed, accessed, breached, republished, or otherwise obtained by another party.
Privacy protection is an ongoing process, and no service can eliminate all privacy or cybersecurity risks.
8. Free Privacy Scan Limitations
The Free Privacy Scan is designed as an initial privacy exposure review.
It is not intended to identify every instance of personal information that may exist online and does not constitute a comprehensive investigation of your identity, financial history, credit history, criminal history, or complete digital footprint.
The scope and results of a scan may vary depending on the information provided, publicly available sources, source accessibility, and the availability of third-party information at the time the scan is performed.
9. Customer Responsibility
Customers are responsible for providing accurate information when requesting services and for reviewing findings before acting on them.
You should independently verify important information before making decisions based on a Digital Family Shield report, scan result, recommendation, or communication.
Customers should not use Digital Family Shield services to harass, stalk, impersonate, investigate, or improperly obtain information about another individual.
10. Results May Change
Online information changes frequently.
Search results, data-broker listings, breach information, public records, and other sources may change after a scan or report has been completed.
A Digital Family Shield report represents information reasonably available or identified at the time the review was conducted and should not be considered a permanent or complete representation of your online exposure.
11. Limitation of Reliance
Digital Family Shield provides its privacy exposure discovery and support services as tools to help customers understand and reduce online privacy exposure.
While we strive to provide useful and accurate information, you remain responsible for determining how to act upon findings, recommendations, or information provided through our services.
Nothing on this website or in a Digital Family Shield report should be interpreted as a guarantee that use of our services will prevent identity theft, fraud, account compromise, data breaches, unwanted contact, or future exposure of personal information.
12. Changes to This Disclaimer
We may update this Disclaimer as our services, website, technology, or legal obligations change.
When material changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date shown above.
