Free email monitoring
Know when a new breach affects you.
Submit your email and we will save it for monitoring against known breach records. When a new breach is reported, we check saved addresses for that breach and send you an email if you have been impacted by a breach.
Monitoring is free and starts when you submit this form. Email verification is temporarily paused while alert delivery is being approved. We will never sell your personal information. Ever! Simple and transparent
How monitoring works
Monitoring remains separate from a one-time search and begins when you submit an email address for this purpose.
We watch for a new breach
When HIBP reports a new breach, we check whether it affects email addresses saved for monitoring.
Receive a useful alert
After email delivery is approved, a match can trigger an alert with the breach name, next steps, and a Contact Us link for legal help.
Our monitoring standard: We associate an alert only with a named breach returned by HIBP for an email saved for monitoring. We do not include passwords, stolen credentials, or sensitive source data in emails. HIBP may not contain every breach, and a match does not prove identity theft or legal eligibility.

Questions, answered
Built for people, not security experts.
We explain what breach records and exposure alerts can—and cannot—tell you.
Does a breach match mean my identity was stolen?
No. A match means your email appears in a supported breach record. It does not prove fraud, identity theft, or legal eligibility.
Do you need my password?
No. Never enter a password here. Data Breach Help uses breach metadata and exposed-data categories, not stolen credentials.
How does continuous monitoring begin?
Submit an email address through the monitoring form. During this temporary launch phase, the address is saved and monitored without an email-verification step. Alert emails will include an unsubscribe link after delivery is approved.
Will monitoring find every breach?
No. Monitoring covers named breach records available through HIBP. Some incidents are never discovered, are not publicly reported, or are not available in HIBP.
What happens when I contact you about a breach?
You can choose to complete a short intake. Submitting information does not create an attorney-client relationship or guarantee eligibility or compensation.
