What is the Difference Between Professional and Personal Information?

Many professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, government officials, and others, utilize our product to protect themselves online, but what defines the information we remove?


Some professional information must remain online, such as a business email, business name, and other details you want customers interested in your business to see via the appropriate channels. That doesn't mean, however, that you should be stuck with your home address, personal phone number, and other identifying information exposed across the internet. We will remove the information you fill out on the Identity Vault page.


The information you input is considered Personally Identifiable Information, or PII for short, and that is what we focus on removing. Businesses don't have the same privacy options as individuals because the information is required to be publicly accessible.
