What Does a "Closed" Status Actually Mean?

A Closed status is usually a positive sign, but it can mean one of three things:

Successfully removed - Your information was confirmed as removed in the most recent scan. Privacy Bee will continue monitoring in case it reappears.
Company unresponsive - All reasonable removal attempts were exhausted and the site did not respond. Privacy Bee will automatically reopen the exposure on a future scan and try again.
Data did not match - The information on the site did not match your Identity Vault closely enough to submit a verified request.

If you see this status often, make sure your Identity Vault is as complete and accurate as possible.

If you run into any issues, our Customer Support Team is happy to assist.
