Can I Transfer My License to Someone Else?

Overview:

This is a common question, and the short answer is no - Privacy Bee licenses are non-transferable. This article explains why and what your options are if you want to protect someone else.

Why Licenses Cannot Be Transferred

Privacy Bee licenses are tied to one individual's identity and data footprint. This isn't a restriction for its own sake - it's fundamental to how the service works.

Here's why:

• Privacy Bee builds a long-term removal history around a single verified identity
• That history is used to avoid duplicate submissions, track compliance, and escalate follow-ups over time
• Data removal authorizations must align with one verified account owner for legal accuracy
• Transferring a license to someone else would break that identity-specific protection cycle and reduce the effectiveness of the service for both people

What You Can Do Instead

If your goal is to protect someone else, the best option is to add them as a family member and purchase a license for them. Privacy Bee offers multi-person discounts so each individual gets their own dedicated profile, personalized removal history, and full-strength protection - without breaking the identity integrity that keeps the service effective.

Can I Update My Own Account Details?

Yes - while you cannot transfer your license, you can update the contact information associated with your account at any time, including your email address, phone number, physical address, and alternate names. All of this can be managed directly from your Identity Vault **in Account Settings**.
