How VIPRE Privacy Shield (formerly VIPRE Identity Shield) Protects Your Identity

How VIPRE Privacy Shield (formerly VIPRE Identity Shield) protects your identity

Personal data discovery & removal: Scans browsers and local files for saved personal info (names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, SSNs) and lets you delete or secure those traces.
Login credential detection: Finds stored usernames/passwords in browsers and gives options to delete them or move them into an encrypted Vault.
Sensitive document scanner & Vault: Locates documents containing financial or identification data (credit cards, bank info, SSNs) and lets you encrypt/store them in a protected Vault.
Browser history & tracking cleanup: Removes browsing tracks and cookies used for profiling or targeted attacks.
Anti-tracking & ad/privacy cleaners: Clears trackers and other artifacts that can be used to profile or deanonymize you.

Webcam & microphone blocker: Prevents unauthorized access to camera/mic and logs/alerts attempts.
Real-time protection & scheduled scans: Continuously monitors for snooping or data-leak activity and runs scheduled scans to catch new exposures.

Dark Web scanning: Searches breached/underground sources for your email addresses or passwords and alerts you if exposures are found (not exhaustive).

Vault export/import & encryption: Encrypted Vault for storing credentials/documents with export/import capability; warns about data loss if Vault files remain encrypted during uninstall.
Scheduler: Automated periodic scans and cleaning to maintain protection without manual steps.

Dark Web scans cannot find every possible exposure.
Several features (Vault, some cleaners, webcam/mic blocker) are Windows-only in some bundles.
Privacy Shield helps reduce local traces and detect exposure but is not a full replacement for strong password hygiene, MFA, and credit-monitoring services.
