ExpressVPN offers free data scan service for U.S. residents

ExpressVPN has launched a new service for people living in the US. This service lets users measure their online data exposure for free. Knowing what personal information is out there is a crucial step in protecting digital privacy. When you use online services or apps, you leave behind personal data. Many companies collect this data and often share it with third parties. Research shows that a significant number of popular apps sell user data without permission. Data brokers gather this information to create profiles for targeted advertising. Cybercriminals can also steal sensitive information, leading to scams and identity theft. To use the ExpressVPN data exposure scan, simply visit their website and enter your personal information. There's no need to create an account or provide payment details. The only requirement is that you live in the US. After assessing your data exposure, you can choose to request the removal of your information from these sites. This process can be complicated and lengthy. Alternatively, you can sign up for a data removal service that automates the process for you. ExpressVPN offers a two-year plan that includes an Identity Defender Suite. This plan, starting at $4.99 per month, provides both data removal help and monitoring tools for identity theft.
