To start, make sure you have the following:

What is Online Privacy Protection?

Online Privacy Protection helps you find and remove your personal information from websites that collect and sell consumer data. These sites often publish your name, home address, phone number, email, and even details about your relatives without your knowledge or consent.

This service continuously monitors these websites and automatically submits opt-out requests to have your data removed—saving you hours of manual work and helping to reduce your exposure to scams, spam, and identity theft.

How can I access the Online Privacy Protection feature?

Online Privacy Protection is included with all Credit Hero Score Protect Plans. If you’re on a different plan, such as ScoreMax, you can still add this feature to your account for $9.99/month.

Once activated, protection starts automatically.
