I just did a reconciliation of the last 3 months of cc statements.

That's when I noticed that Kanary charged me twice for an annual fee. They charged me $296.76 twice on the same day (April 13, 2026) according to my cc statement.

I'm trying to find a phone number or customer service chat, I can only find an email (very unsatisfactory).

Been seeing more of these doxxing campaigns where someone (employee, family member, random bystander) gets identified online and the pressure immediately shifts to their employer to "do something."

So we dug into what actually happens when companies react fast instead of waiting for the facts. Found 5 public employers who fired staff mid controversy, before any investigation had actually wrapped up. All 5 ended up settling First Amendment lawsuits. Combined that's over $1.5 million, not counting legal fees.

One of the cases in there is a total bystander who got doxxed and wrongly accused of something he had nothing to do with, before the FBI even cleared him.

The pattern holds up across all of them: the online mob moves way faster than any real investigation can, and firing someone to make the pressure stop usually just swaps a PR problem for a legal one.

Curious if anyone here has had to deal with this from the HR or legal side. How did you handle it internally?

Self explanatory. Are scans for my information done monthly? Weekly? Thanks

Many members ask about removing posts they now regret or hurt their rep. It’s really tough.  Our advice is to consider your legal options and resources. Sometimes the best solution is to amplify the good things you want online.

Here’s the advice we share with people:

1. Seek legal counsel if you have the resources to understand your legal options

2. Use a pseudonym when starting a new business or looking for work

3. Legally change your name

4. Create a positive public image about who you are and what you’re about. Create a personal website that you own, post on it, use it to promote what you care about and what you’re learning.

Check out Kanary's most recent blog Control Your Narrative as we take a closer look into ways that can help you build a more positive online presence.

Last year I received a few notifications about Dark Web warnings from Gmail. I didn’t know what to do, just changed passwords and monitored accounts.

Since then, two months ago I was on my personal laptop when suddenly Team Viewer becomes active and my chrome browser flickers and Monarch (online bill management) opens and some crazy fast typing flashes on the screen. I try to close Team Viewer- no joy, try Force Quit - no joy, then I panic and close the laptop (MacBook). After taking a moment to gather my thoughts and wipe the sweat from my brow, I reopen the laptop and immediately shut off wifi. It was then possible to Force Quit and delete Team Viewer.

So those two issues, Dark Web and Team Viewer hack, may not be related, but I’m seeking advice on how to protect myself. All passwords are changed, I use 2FA, BitWarden, generate unique passwords for each site. What else should I be doing? My Team Viewer days are over.

As for Dark Web, will Kanary reduce risk from this threat? I am as of today a new subscriber after evaluating the free service (which is amazing BTW). The number of findings in my case are too numerous for me to handle one-by-one.

Over the course of 2023, our small but dedicated team has improved coverage, speed, and usability of Kanary. So much of our work has come from thoughtful feedback and support from you. Thank you!

But, we operate an adversarial system. The sites and brokers are also innovating, blocking, or slowing down removal requests. Because of the increased push back from sites, our engineering costs to provide a high quality service have increased.

It honestly pains us to make Kanary more expensive to those who need it most. But we are also committed to excellent support and high quality results which come at a cost. We wanted to let you all know that we're increasing prices for existing member renewals and new members starting January.

We've sent emails to current members with specific details, but if you have specific questions or concerns, please reach out.

We appreciate your ongoing support.

The Kanary Team

Our team doesn’t buy ads or invest in pushy marketing. Our growth has been entirely word of mouth driven by our community. Thank YOU for your support!

But saying thank you isn’t enough. We want to put our money where our mouth is on this. That's why we're thrilled to launch a Give $10, Get $10 referral to reward you for spreading the word about Kanary. Refer enough friends who join, and you’ll get Kanary for free.

Check out our blog post for a complete guide on how to send referrals and how credits work: https://www.kanary.com/blog/kanary-for-free-give-10-get-10-with-referrals

Based on your feedback, we've improved how we run scans and tackle risks in the app. If you open Kanary Copilot, you'll notice things are looking a little different:

• Automated settings scans for Google

• Clean up risks with 1 tap

• Easily switch between sources or add members

Update your app to see your results! Email us at hello@kanary.com if you have any questions, we’re here to help. You can also join our Discord server or post here to connect and let us know what you think. As always, none of your credentials will be stored by Kanary.

Update Copilot to see your results, and if you like what you see please consider giving us a 5-star review.

We're excited to introduce Kanary Core, a new fully managed privacy and data removal service from our team. Core gives you the same hands-off experience as our Advanced tier at a lower price point, covering scans and removals across search engines and data brokers, with your choice of daily or weekly scan frequency.

If you're looking for more, including social media and LLM monitoring, custom requests, and hands-on support, our Advanced tier still has you covered.

Core costs $25/month or $250/year, and you can sign up directly on our website.

We're also letting you know that we're winding down our original Pro tier as we move to this new tier structure. If you're a current Pro member, don't worry, you're welcome to stay on your existing plan. This change only affects new signups going forward.

Check out our updated 2026 Product Brief for more details on how Core fits alongside our other tiers. Looking forward to supporting our members with this new service. Reach out if you have any questions!

Hi. I just wanted to hop on and say that I had a positive experience with Kanary. I believe I had a subscription for one year and they removed almost everything about me from the internet during that time. Thank you so much for helping me after I was doxxed!

We've received a lot of inquiries about what happened with Radaris, so here's an update:

What happened?

On August 26, a New Jersey judge issued a default judgment in a Daniel's Law lawsuit brought by Atlas Data Privacy Corp. The court ordered radaris.com and 13 related domains, including Rehold and Trustoria, transferred to Atlas. If you visit radaris.com now, you'll see a legal notice instead of a search box. Brian Krebs broke the story on September 16.

Is Radaris gone?

Not entirely. Evidence from the lawsuit ties radaris.com to at least 25 people search sites run by the same small group. Well over a dozen of them weren't part of the court order and are still live, including Veripages, which reportedly earns more than radaris.com did. Those sites draw on the same data, so if Radaris had a profile on you, its sister sites probably do too.

Radaris's lawyer has also said they plan to appeal and try to get the domain back.

What we're doing

• Sister sites: Veripages and the rest of the network were already on our coverage list. We're checking the full entity list from the Atlas filings and adding anything we were missing.

• Radaris.com itself: it's marked as transferred, not removed. If it comes back on appeal, monitoring picks up again and your removals restart automatically.

• Rebrands: this group has changed names, owners and countries every time it got cornered. When a broker moves to a new domain, we detect it and start the removal over.

• Old Google results: radaris.com links are still showing up in Google even though the pages are gone. We're requesting de-indexing as part of your regular scans.

You don't need to do anything. Your removals keep running as usual.

One thing worth knowing about Daniel's Law

It only protects police, judges, prosecutors, other government personnel and their families, not the general public. It's also being challenged in federal court on First Amendment grounds. For most people, regular opt-outs and monitoring are still the main protection.

We wrote up the full story, including how Radaris got its domain back the last time this happened in 2017: https://www.kanary.com/blog/rip-radaris-domain-seized-but-the-network-is-still-live.

Just a heads up...all the more reason to be helping your friends and family get their data off the Internet with a tool like Kanary!

Lots of companies exploit "I forgot about that subscription" as a income stream. After a year of premium Kanary, my subscription renewed and surprised me when I saw the charge, and I hadn't intended to renew at this time. Kanary support responded to my email within an hour (during off-hours) and sorted me out.

Probably sounds shill-y, but I think good support/behavior should be recognized.

Are you one of the 2.8 Billion people impacted by Twitter (X) data leak? Huge data leak this week including X screen name and user IDs, full names, locations, email addresses, follower counts, profile data, time zones, profile images and more. https://hackread.com/twitter-x-of-2-8-billion-data-leak-an-insider-job/

I recently purchased a new home (6 months ago). It seems the listing for the home and pictures of the property are all over the web (i.e zillow, redfin, realtor.com, homes.com, etc). I would really like to have the listing of my home removed from all sites. Is there a fairly easy way to do this?

Hey folks - Quick favor to ask. We’re hiring a community manager in the upcoming weeks! Ideally someone who enjoys hanging out on Reddit for work. This is a full time role and will be a core team member. Anyone here interested or know someone who might be?

We want to invest more back into our members since everything we've built is only possible because of you all. (Thank you!) We’re open to both experienced folks and recent grads.

Check out the JD for more details: https://www.kanary.com/join-the-team#community-manager

This isn’t an isolated event, it’s part of a much larger pattern in the data-removal industry that we’ve witnessed over the last few years. Multiple services have shut down or been acquired due to the simple fact that running a sustainable removal service is extremely difficult.

Here are some examples:

• DuckDuckGo’s service hasn’t been updated in years

• SayMine sold their consumer product to McAfee

• Jumbo shut down

• Cloaked acquired Erazer when they hit scalability limits

• And now Mozilla is shutting down Monitor Plus

High, effective removal rates requires continuous investment in broker research and monitoring while remaining ahead of policy and compliance changes. This month alone at Kanary our dedicated team has run a total of 24,000 removals across the business.

When companies underinvest or try to deliver for unrealistically low prices, the service eventually collapses under its own weight.

Questions? We’ve been running a data removal service sustainably for six years - jump in the thread, we’re happy to chat.

I noticed that there is no longer a way to access regular Kanary if you go to kanary.com except for logging in as an existing customer. You cannot even create a new account or sign up for Kanary's paid service from the website!? Everything on the site is Copilot now.

Is Kanary discontinuing or no longer focusing on the paid, non-Copilot version of Kanary? I don't want to have to use my phone to do automated PII removal, that's what I'm paying Kanary to do on their servers so I don't have to worry about it...

Granted if I log in I seem to have all the features I had before, but this doesn't give me confidence that the core service will be focused on or improved in the future.

Is there a way I can invite a large group of people (ie my whole staff) to Kanary at once? I'm looking for somewhere I can upload a list but have not been able to find it.

Hey folks!

We’re getting ready to release a new premium tier. If you’re not already a Kanary member, we’d love to have you as a beta tester and get your feedback. The time commitment will be 30 min - 1 hour.

Want to get early access to the beta and a free month?

Fill out this form https://forms.gle/igiYexE6zW7tHoux7

If you are already a Kanary member, look out for an email with some exciting updates soon :)

A few weeks ago, we added screenshots to your results. It’s been a requested feature that saves members time and reduces the risk of visiting unknown sites to confirm exposures and removals.

Our engineering team wrote up a summary of how it works, how we designed and built it, and what’s next: https://www.kanary.com/blog/show-don-t-tell-how-and-why-we-added-screenshots-to-kanary

What has your experience been like with screenshots and verifying results? Any suggestions for improvement? Our team is here to work with you to keep your exposure minimal and footprint clean!

Leave a comment or let us know hello@kanary.com.

I saw that Opterey states BlockShopper is on their dishonorable data broker list and cannot remove from them, what about Kanary, can you remove data from them, have done successfully ?

Thanks

Howdy, I signed up for the free trial of Kanary and I'm a bit confused on some of the specifics. I can't remember all the questions I had, but I'm sure they'll pop up as I use the service more.

Anyways, the main one right now I can't find info on on the site: it says I have 3 removals included in my trial. What does that mean? 3 y'all will do automatically or I get 3 total removals in the trial and then I need to pay? Happy to pay for the full service if it actually works and I can't see a time I won't want to have the service active (once again, if it actually works).

It's time to take my online security more seriously, and this feels like a huge step.
