Personalized protection

Protection that’s perfect
for each person in the family

Each family member is unique, requiring their own identity and privacy protection.

That’s why McAfee+ Family plans include personalized protection for each member of the family. Each parent, child, or grandparent can set up and manage their own protection for their identity, privacy, computers, and phones. So everyone in your family can enjoy life online safely (and you can rest easy).

Protect up to 6 members

Family security for privacy, identity, and ID theft

Identity monitoring alerts all family members if their personal info is found on the dark web.

Personal Data Cleanup shows which risky data broker sites have collected your personal info and helps to remove it (for 2 adults)

Online Account Cleanup shows which companies have access to your data and removes it before data breaches even happen (for 2 adults)

Why do identity theft protection and privacy matter?

5.7 million

people in UK have fallen victim to identity fraud in the last 12 months

77%

want to protect their
identity online

77%

want to take back control of their
data online

You may need identity and privacy protection more than you know

Find out instantly if your privacy was breached and your identity exposed.

We’ll scan to see if your email has been compromised in a data breach.

I am 16 or over and own the email address I choose to scan. I accept McAfee’s privacy policy.

You must check the box to scan your email address

By clicking Scan, you accept McAfee's License Agreement and Privacy Notice. and confirm that you are 16 or over and own the email address you choose to scan.

Your data wasn't found in any breaches. Be safer with us.

With 37 billion consumer records stolen in 2020, we're here to help.

What should you do if your email IS NOT part of a breach?

Email is just one of many types of personal info found in data breaches.

Extensive monitoring with guidance

McAfee can help you keep tabs on up to 60 unique pieces of personal data, including email addresses, credit cards, bank accounts, government ID numbers, and more.

Additionally, we'll also help get you back to safety quickly and effectively with easy-to-understand guidance based on industry best practices.

Earlier, effective detection

A timely response can make your breached info entirely useless to a fraudster who is trying to find out more about you.

McAfee's identity monitoring service can detect and warn you of a breach an average of 10 months in advance of similar services, so you can secure your info before they use it to access more of your personal info.

Comprehensive security matters

Identity monitoring is just one of many ways McAfee can help keep you in the know if you're at risk. Hackers will generally pursue multiple avenues of attacks to try and get enough information on you or your loved ones to achieve identity fraud.

McAfee can help protect your privacy, identity, and devices under a comprehensive umbrella of protection, so you and your family can go online with peace-of-mind.

Scan another email

{{digitalData.breachInfo.email}} was found in {{digitalData.breachInfo.totalBreaches}} known data breaches.

Don't worry, you're not alone. Explore our plans and let's get you on the path to safety!

What should you do if your email is found as part of a breach?

Secure your account

Change your password for the affected login account. This will stop hackers from accessing your account and stealing more information about you.

With McAfee, you'll have access to detailed information to help you determine which account is at risk.

Use unique, strong passwords

An identity thief generally uses stolen login info from a breach to try and access other accounts that may have the same email and password combination.

Use a secure password manager to generate and store unique passwords for every site where you have an account. McAfee can help you with our encrypted password manager, synced online across multiple devices for your convenience.

Keep an eye out for additional breaches

Breaches occur when companies who have vulnerabilities in security are exploited by hackers.

McAfee can help you stay ahead of identity theft by detecting and alerting you of these breaches an average of 10 months in advance of similar services, to give you a fighting chance of averting identity theft altogether.

FAQs

These answers might help.

Identity theft refers to the unauthorized use of an individual's personally identifiable information (PII), such as name, national ID, bank information, and other sensitive information that can compromise a person’s privacy, security, and financial assets.

You can protect yourself against identity theft by securing your personal information -- online and offline. Make sure to engage in best practices such as using strong passwords, protecting your devices with updated security software, monitoring your bank transactions, securing your personal documents, and minimizing the amount of information you share online.

For proactive protection, McAfee® can actively monitor your sensitive information and give step-by-step guidance when you need it the most.

Begin by analyzing the situation and reviewing the compromised information. Then, notify the relevant authorities, such as your bank, coverage agency, a local police station, or a national cybercrime complaint center. While the relevant authorities are helping you with the case, check and secure your financial accounts, devices, and proof of identity.

The most common form of identity theft is financial identity theft, which refers to any type of theft when someone uses another individual’s information for financial gain. Some examples are New Account Fraud, Account Takeover Fraud, Business Identity Theft, and Tax-Related Identity Theft.

As online security threats grow, it's important to know if cybercriminals have stolen your personal information. If we find your data on the dark web, or you suspect that your data is on the dark web, this article from our knowledge center provides the steps to protect your identity.

You can access and manage your identity protection on protection.mcafee.com.

How did McAfee choose which data broker sites to monitor?
We selected the sites that we think pose the most privacy threats by looking at a number of criteria, including how prominent they are online, how much data they have in their database, the types of information they collect, and if a site is a data source for other people search sites. While no one can ever be completely immune from privacy and identity risks, knowing where your personal data is being collected and sold is a step in the right direction to reclaiming your privacy online.

How often does McAfee scan for my data on these sites?
We’ll automatically scan for your data every three months if you are enrolled in a plan that supports full-service removal.

How long does it take for McAfee to remove my data?
The time it takes to remove your personal data will vary based on the site. Under UK laws, data brokers are required to respond to a request for data deletion within one month. For plans that include full-service removal, requests to remove your data will be sent automatically. When it’s all done, we’ll let you know in your McAfee Protection Center.

Can I request the sites to remove my data by myself?
Yes, you certainly can. However, the process of manually reaching out to each individual people search site is time consuming . You may even have to provide them with more of your info before they will remove profiles about you. With full-service Personal Data Cleanup, requests to remove your data are sent automatically.

Setting up family protection is simple. Just enter an email address or mobile phone number for each person you want to invite.

Your family member will get a message to log in along with steps to set up protection for their computers, phones, web browsing, and passwords. They’ll also have their own identity monitoring to receive alerts when their personal data is found on the dark web.

Two adults can also set up credit monitoring, find their personal info on data broker sites to remove it, and clean up personal info from old online accounts.

Each family member will have their own notifications and log in where they can check their Protection Score along with recommended steps to improve their score and overall online safety.

Parental controls provides you with the ability to supervise and keep your kids safer online. When you sign up for a family plan, you’ll receive easy instructions to get set up with the parental controls app.

See what your kids are up to: View your kid’s device activity and location at a glance from your phone or desktop.
Set rules and time limits: Start off with age-based rules for apps and websites that you can customize based on your kid’s needs.
Know where your kids are: Locate them on a live map and receive automated notifications when they enter or leave familiar places like a school or the library.
Family requests: Collaborate with your kids by allowing them to request extra app time or access blocked apps or websites.

What's included in McAfee+ family plans?

Family plans come with identity theft protection, online privacy, and device security for up to 6 family members (up to 2 adults and 4 children) without having to share logins. Each family member can set up their own identity, privacy, and device protection features in the way that works best for them.

Each family member gets their own, Individual Protection Score, which shows how safe they are, with guidance on how to improve their protection. Plus, parents can help keep their children safe online and limit their risk exposure with parental controls.

How do I share the subscription with my family?

To share your subscription with your family, log in to My Account and click Manage users and devices. From there, you can send an invitation to each family member to join your plan. Each family member will be able to set up their McAfee account and complete the setup for their online protection.

Why does my spouse need online protection if I already have it?

Every one of us has valuable personal data and our online privacy to protect. When you add your spouse as an adult family member on your family account, they will be able to set up and manage their own identity and credit monitoring, Personal Data Cleanup to remove their info from data broker sites, and more. They’re also covered with up to $1 million in case of stolen identity and up to $25K for ransomware.

How many people can I add to my family plan?

You can add up to 5 additional people to your family plan for a total of 2 adults and 4 children (minors).

Why should my children have online protection?

Kids need protection in many of the same ways adults do. They have Social Security Numbers, which if used for identity theft, could affect their credit standings. They also have usernames and email addresses that could be part of a data breach, finding their way to the dark web where criminals can access them.

When online, children (and adults) need to be notified when a website or link is risky and could lead to a phishing site or a malware download. And of course, device protection on their computers and phones can save them from online threats like viruses and hackers.

How will minors be able to manage their online protection?

The account owner can invite members as either an adult or a minor. Minors (and adults) will have access to their own accounts on the McAfee Protection Center. However, minors have access to fewer identity and privacy features than adults.

As a parent, you can choose to set up and manage your child’s account yourself and access the account in the McAfee Protection Center in order to stay on top of your child’s online protection settings, notifications, Protection Score, and recommended steps to improve your child’s online safety.

As the purchaser (admin), can I see all other family member McAfee+ accounts?

As the account owner, you can see all users and their devices. However, you will not be able to access family members’ Protection Score, settings, and alerts.

What comes with parental controls?

The internet is a wide-open world and parents can’t always be there to supervise what their children are accessing or who their communicating with online. McAfee+ Family plans include the tools you need to:

view device activity easily from your phone or desktop
set app and website rules and time limits
locate your kids on a live map and receive automated notifications when they enter or leave familiar places
collaborate with your kids by allowing them to request extra app time or access blocked apps or websites.

Can I add someone like my parent or child who doesn’t live in my home as a member on my family plan?

Yes, family is what you make it. Add one adult and up to four minors to your plan no matter where they live. It’s simple to get them set up. Just enter their email address and they’ll get a message with instructions.

If family members leave my plan does my price change?

No, the price of your plan will not change if family members leave your plan. You can still make the most of your plan by adding someone else to take their spot!

How does payment for the family plan work?

The purchaser (account owner) of the family plan is the only person who can manage payment and payment settings.

Can I change the primary account owner?

The purchaser of the plan will always be the primary account owner.

What devices and OS are compatible with McAfee+?

McAfee+ is compatible with laptops, desktops, tablets, Chromebooks, and mobile devices. You can find operating system compatibility on our System Requirements page.

Why should I consider cleaning up my online accounts?
When you create an online account, your personal data is added to a company’s database and can remain there even after you delete the account. An internet user can have hundreds of online accounts, many of which they might not know are still active.

The more companies that have your personal info, the higher the chance one of them will get breached, putting you at risk of identity theft. We’ll help you delete these accounts for good so you can take back control of your privacy and even cut down on annoying spam emails.

How can McAfee help me clean up my online accounts?
We’ll show you which companies or websites have access to your personal information and provide steps on how to reach out to them to have it deleted. If you prefer to save time and have McAfee send the requests with a single click, the request will be transmitted directly from your email inbox. We help you send these requests, but we do not act as an agent on your behalf.

How will you see who has my personal data?
With your approval, we’ll scan the subject lines in your inbox to see which companies are emailing you and how much of your info they might have. We will only look at the email sender, subject line, timestamp, and the first few words of the email—we will not scan the full body of the email or any attachments.

We’ll then help you decide which accounts you want to keep and which you might want to delete to lower the risk of a data breach.

What’s the difference between “Scans” and “Full-service”?
Online Account Cleanup: Scans helps you find any accounts tied to your email and gives you clear instructions to reclaim your data. Online Account Cleanup: Scans is included in all McAfee+ plans.

Online Account Cleanup: Full-service not only finds your accounts, but lets the experts send the data deletion requests for you with a single click, saving you up to 10 hours or more* of manual work. Online Account Cleanup: Full-service is only included with McAfee+ Ultimate plans.
