Hi everyone! This is Tony Amaral-Cinotto, the Product Manager for Firefox Monitor. Firefox Monitor has been a great way to be alerted and take steps to regain your privacy in the event of a data breach. We know that data breaches are only one part of a person’s data exposures, and here at Mozilla, we take pride in doing everything we can to allow you to reclaim your privacy.
In the new year, in the U.S., we’ll expand Monitor’s protections even further, allowing you to scan for your exposed information on data broker sites and then we’ll automatically remove that personal data for you. Monitor will send automated removal requests on your behalf to remove your information, like home addresses, phone numbers, family member’s names, and more, which these sites have made easily available for anyone to find.
If you’re in the U.S. and are interested in reclaiming your privacy and being the first to know about Firefox Monitor’s new protections, please sign up for our waitlist.
We are first releasing this experience in the United States and will continue to explore bringing more privacy protections to other markets. Users outside the U.S. will see upgrades to their experience, too, including an enhanced user-friendly interface, guided steps to resolve exposures, and tooltips to protect your privacy further.
