Welcome to Privacy Bee

Overview:


Welcome to Privacy Bee! You've just taken one of the most important steps you can take for your personal privacy online - and we're glad you're here. This article walks you through exactly where to start so you can get the most out of Privacy Bee from day one.


Step 1 - Complete Your Identity Vault


Your Identity Vault is the foundation of everything Privacy Bee does for you. The more complete it is, the more thorough your protection. Head to your Identity Vault now and fill it out as completely as possible before moving on.



Step 2 - Review Your Controls & Preferences


Once your Identity Vault is complete, take a few minutes to review your Controls & Preferences settings. This is where you can customize how assertively Privacy Bee works on your behalf.


You'll find Controls & Preferences in the Account Settings section of your left navigation bar.



Step 3 - Sign Your Limited Power of Attorney (Optional)


Some data brokers and companies require proof that Privacy Bee is authorized to act on your behalf when submitting removal requests. Signing the Limited Power of Attorney (LPoA) gives Privacy Bee that authorization - making the removal process faster and more effective.


Signing is completely optional and can be revoked at any time. It is used only for data removal purposes - nothing else.


What Happens Next?


Once your profile is set up, Privacy Bee gets to work. Scans will begin running automatically and you'll start seeing results in your dashboard as exposures are identified and removal requests are submitted. The process is ongoing - Privacy Bee monitors continuously so you don't have to.


If you ever have questions along the way, our support team is here to help. Just click the chat icon in the lower right corner of your screen.



Welcome to the hive. Let's get to work.
