How do I set up my Family Member's License?

Overview

Setting up Family Protection involves two essential steps:

Adding your family member to the Family Protection page so they can create their own account
Making sure their Identity Vault is completed before assigning a license

Completing these steps ensures Privacy Bee can begin scanning for your family member’s exposures as soon as their license is assigned.

Step 1: Add Your Family Member

Before assigning a license, you’ll need to add your family member’s contact details.

Go to your Family Protection page, tap the "Add FamilyMember" button, and add:

Their name
Their email address

What the Family Protection page does:

Think of the Family Protection page as an invitation space. Adding a family member allows them to create their own Privacy Bee account using their email address.

Once their contact details are added, ask your family member to:

Sign in on the Privacy Bee website
Use the same email address you added on the Family Protection page

Step 3: Complete the Identity Vault

Your family member must complete their Identity Vault before scans can begin.

This step allows Privacy Bee to:

Identify their personal exposures
Match data accurately
Begin removal and monitoring once a license is assigned

Important:

A license can be assigned at any time, but scans will not start until the Identity Vault is completed.

Step 4: Assign the License

After the Identity Vault is complete:

Go to Account Settings
Open the Billing tab
Find Managed Licenses
Click the blue Assign License button
Select your family member’s name
Click Assign

That’s it! Their license is now active.

Quick Tips
