What Does a "Closed" Status Actually Mean?

What does a “Closed” status actually mean?

A Closed status is usually a positive sign, but it can mean one of three things:

  • Successfully removed - Your information was confirmed as removed in the most recent scan. Privacy Bee will continue monitoring in case it reappears.
  • Company unresponsive - All reasonable removal attempts were exhausted, and the site did not respond. Privacy Bee will automatically reopen the exposure on a future scan and try again.
  • Data did not match - The information on the site did not match your Identity Vault closely enough to submit a verified request.

If you see this status often, make sure your Identity Vault is as complete and accurate as possible.
