What is Kanary?
Kanary finds personal information about you that is exposed online and works to remove it. It builds a threat model for each person, scans search engines, data brokers, social media and AI/LLM sources, then files managed removal requests and reports the results.
The Core plan covers the highest-traffic sources with monthly scans and monthly removal requests. Advanced adds social media and AI/LLM sources, weekly or daily scans, unlimited custom removals, address confidentiality enrollment, attorney general escalation, priority support and incident research. A mobile app lets members review results and escalations.
Organizations can set up a Team org with at least 5 seats to protect executives, clients or staff. Teams get SSO, an API, admin-managed or member-managed onboarding, and SOC 2 compliance. Kanary is U.S. based and backed by Y Combinator. Its customers include public figures, executives, nonprofit leaders and people dealing with doxxing or stalking.
