How Kanary Cloud Works
Your path to successful data removal.
From day one, your premium membership kicks off your removal process. Your initial removals complete in the first 2 weeks (our 14 day trial covers 3 free removals), but tougher ones take more time and effort. Here's a closer look at our process:
Day 1
Congrats on becoming a premium member!
• It's easy to create a profile, update your information, add loved ones and verify your details.
• Kanary scans the web for your information. Get results in about 24 hours.
• We filter out fake sites that ask for more data or hide behind a paywall.
Day 2–3
Your first scan completes
• Kanary automatically removes you from Google's search engine and sends removal requests to the worst sites.
• We may ask you to confirm certain sites (ie Facebook) that require your approval to update or be removed.
Day 4–14
Kanary submits and reviews removals
• Kanary's powerful automation continues to verify requests and confirm that data is successfully removed.
• You can reach out to us anytime with a specific concern or question.
Day 15 or sooner ✨
You start seeing completed removals!
• Your personalized dashboard shows completed removals, pending requests, historical progress and more.
• Kanary resubmits any requests that were rejected or blocked by a site. We don't give up.
• We'll reach out if we need your help to confirm a site so we can stay on track removing your data.
Day 30
Reach 60% removal success
• Kanary checks for new and resurfaced exposures by running a new scan.
• You can always initiate a scan sooner from your account, but our recommendation is every 30 days.
• Every month we'll email a progress report (also found on your dashboard), including recommendations on preventative action, like updating privacy settings and resetting passwords.
Day 31–45
Reach 80% removal success
• Kanary focuses on the toughest removals. The support team investigates sites not responding to removal requests and as always, keep you updated on our progress.
• In some cases, we'll have to work together to get data removed.
Day 46–90
Reach 95–100% removal success
• Kanary's support team continues to dig into the last of the toughest removals if sites have not responded.
• You'll see a new scan on Day 60 and 90 to check for new and resurfaced exposures, and remove them.
• We continue to work behind the scenes on removals if your personal data pops up.
Day 91 and beyond ✨
Maintain removal success
• Kanary continues to scan monthly for new and resurfaced exposures so we can remove them quickly.
• You can track activity on your personalized dashboard. We'll also email you monthly reports.
• Your dashboard will also show you historical data - see exposure and removal progress since day one.
