Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 14, 2026
Digital Family Shield (“Digital Family Shield,” “DFS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information when you visit Digital Family Shield, request a privacy exposure scan, contact us, or use our services.
Information We Collect
When you request a Free Privacy Scan or another service, we may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:
• First and last name
• Email address
• Telephone number, if provided
• State
• Your selected privacy concern
• Information you provide when communicating with us
• Your authorization to perform a public privacy exposure scan
• Your newsletter preference
We intentionally limit the information requested for an initial privacy scan. We do not ask you to submit a Social Security number, financial account information, credit card information, or a complete current or previous address history to begin the Free Privacy Scan.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, our website, hosting provider, security tools, and other service providers may automatically process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, timestamps, referring pages, and information necessary for website security and operation.
Cookies and similar technologies may also be used where necessary for website functionality, security, preferences, analytics, or other services enabled on the website.
How We Use Your Information
We may use information we collect to:
• Process and respond to privacy scan requests
• Conduct authorized searches for publicly discoverable information
• Communicate privacy findings and recommended next steps
• Provide requested privacy services and customer support
• Respond to questions and other communications
• Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure our website
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized activity
• Maintain appropriate business and service records
• Send newsletters or informational communications when you separately choose to receive them
• Comply with applicable legal obligations
Privacy Exposure Scans
A Digital Family Shield privacy exposure scan is intended to identify information that may already be publicly discoverable through sources such as people-search websites, data brokers, breach-related resources, search engines, and other publicly accessible sources.
Information submitted for a privacy scan is treated as operational customer information. Submission of the scan form authorizes Digital Family Shield to use the information provided for the purpose of conducting the requested privacy exposure review.
Marketing Communications
Requesting a privacy scan does not automatically subscribe you to marketing communications.
If you separately choose to receive the Digital Family Shield newsletter or other optional marketing communications, we may use your email address for that purpose. You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in those messages or by contacting us.
Service-related communications concerning a scan or service you requested are separate from optional marketing communications.
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information submitted through our privacy scan intake form for monetary consideration.
We may disclose limited information to service providers that help us operate our website or deliver requested services, such as hosting, email, security, form processing, and other technology providers. These providers may process information according to their own applicable terms and privacy practices.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law or legal process, protect our rights or users, investigate fraud or security incidents, or protect the safety and integrity of our services.
Third-Party Websites and Public Sources
Our services may involve reviewing information available from third-party websites, search engines, data brokers, people-search services, breach-related resources, and other public sources.
Digital Family Shield does not control those third parties. Their collection, retention, removal, and privacy practices are governed by their own policies and applicable law.
Links to third-party websites do not necessarily constitute endorsement of those websites.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing requested services, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes, protecting our systems, and satisfying applicable legal obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service involved.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information under our control.
No website, transmission method, storage system, or security measure can guarantee absolute security. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed without authorization.
Your Privacy Choices and Requests
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information maintained about you.
You may contact Digital Family Shield to ask questions about personal information we maintain, request correction or deletion where applicable, withdraw optional marketing consent, or make another applicable privacy request.
Nevada residents may also contact us regarding applicable rights concerning the sale of covered personal information. Digital Family Shield does not currently sell personal information submitted through its privacy scan intake form for monetary consideration.
Requests may be sent to info@digitalfamilyshield.com. We may need to verify a request before acting on it.
Children’s Privacy
Digital Family Shield’s website and Free Privacy Scan are intended for adults requesting services for themselves or their families. Children under 13 should not submit personal information directly through the website.
A parent or legal guardian seeking privacy assistance concerning a child should contact Digital Family Shield directly.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our services, website, technology, or legal obligations change. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date shown above.
Material changes affecting how previously collected personal information is used will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
