### **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.
