See what a stranger would find about you
Scanning yourself does not create a public profile — we only show what is already published elsewhere.
Checking whether your email leaked
That check lives on its own page, because the answer belongs to whoever owns the address: you confirm the address with one click in an email, and only then does the result open. Nothing is shown for an address that has not been confirmed.
Check my email for breaches →See what is public about you
Search your own name using available information and open public web pages — the same search a stranger would run, with the same result.
How to use your self-check results
Start with accounts that can still be accessed
If a known breach exposed a password, change it on the affected service and every account where you reused it. Turn on two-factor authentication, review active sessions, and confirm that recovery details still belong to you. Breach records are historical signals: they show that data was exposed at some point, not whether an account is currently compromised.
Separate your records from namesakes
Information and open-web matches can combine people who share a name. Confirm a result with a second detail such as city, age range, employer, username, or a known relative before treating it as yours. The digital-footprint audit explains how to review accounts and identifiers systematically.
Reduce exposure at the original source
Correct inaccurate public records where they originated, delete accounts you no longer use, and submit opt-out requests to data brokers that publish your contact details. Our people-search removal playbook prioritizes the removals and explains why a quarterly recheck matters. Keep a dated note of each request so you can confirm which source removed or republished the information later.

How removal works
- Step 1
Scan
Enter your name to see which sites publish your details and what each one exposes.
- Step 2
Verify to unlock
Breach details are shown only to the owner of the address, so you confirm the email is yours first.
- Step 3
Send the requests
Each item comes with the link and the request that site expects, and the checklist tracks what is still open.
Nothing published by us
Checking yourself does not create a Recordwell profile, and your scan is not visible to anyone else.
Sensitive data stays locked
Breach contents unlock only after the email is verified as yours — not on a name match.
Remove from Recordwell too
If your details appear in our results, the opt-out page takes them out.
Questions people ask
Does checking myself add me to Recordwell?
No. Searching yourself does not create a public profile. We show what is already published elsewhere, and how to get it removed.
Why do you ask for my email?
Breach details and other sensitive items are shown only to the owner of the address, so we verify the email before unlocking them.
Can you remove my data for me?
We give you a per-site checklist with the link and the request each site expects. For our own listings, the opt-out page handles it directly.
How long does removal take?
Most data brokers answer within days, some take weeks, and a few ask for an identity check. The checklist keeps track of which requests are still open.
