Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 4 of the 15 other data removal services we grade
PrivacyHawk is a mobile app that finds where your personal data is held and asks data brokers and companies to remove it. It also unsubscribes you from email lists. Premium covers removal and monitoring; Platinum adds identity theft coverage and dark web monitoring. Family plans cover up to 4 people.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about PrivacyHawk, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Sign-up happens in the app, and you connect accounts.
- 1
Best for a phone app that asks data brokers to remove you
There is no free plan or trial, and it runs only on iPhone and Android.
- 2
Paid plans start at $6.25 a month when paid by the year
As its pricing page puts it: $74.99 per year, billed yearly ($19.99 billed monthly).
- 3
It runs on 2 platforms
iOS and Android.
- 4
Data broker removal
The pricing page says it removes data from 300+ brokers and 10,000+ companies, and removes it again if it returns.
- 5
Digital footprint cleanup
Finds accounts and exposures tied to you and asks the companies behind them to delete the data.
- 6
Email unsubscribe
Premium lists an AI-driven unsubscribe tool for marketing email.
- 7
A 1.8 GPA, above 4 of 15
That is against the other data removal services we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace PrivacyHawk you would be making opt-out requests to hundreds of data brokers, sent again whenever they list you again. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for a phone app that asks data brokers to remove you
PrivacyHawk is a phone app that finds where your data is held and asks brokers and companies to remove it, and it unsubscribes you from email lists. Premium is $74.99 a year, but monthly billing is $19.99. There is no free plan or trial, and it runs only on iPhone and Android.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $74.99 a year, about $6.25 a month, below the $7.99 that opens the cheaper quarter of the category. Monthly billing is $19.99. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial listed; the page says to ask support in the app about offers. |
| Features | C | Broker removal, footprint cleanup, email unsubscribe and monitoring. The listing shows a gap: the pricing page contradicts itself about where identity theft protection is included. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Sign-up happens in the app, and you connect accounts. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Phones only: iPhone and Android, with no web, desktop or integrations listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace PrivacyHawk you would be making opt-out requests to hundreds of data brokers, sent again whenever they list you again. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 7 of the 15 other data removal services grade higher. It costs $74.99 a year.
What you could not
- Opt-out requests to hundreds of data brokers, sent again whenever they list you again.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. PrivacyHawk’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
