Privacy Bee Acquires EraseMe.app: A Bigger Step Forward for Personal Data Privacy
August 12, 2026
Today marks an exciting new chapter for Privacy Bee - and for the growing number of people who want greater control over their personal information online.
Privacy Bee has acquired EraseMe.app, bringing two privacy-focused services together around one shared mission: helping people become harder to find, profile, and target online.
Through this acquisition, more consumers will gain access to Privacy Bee’s broader Data Broker coverage, ongoing monitoring, and continued removal support. It also creates a clear path forward for existing EraseMe.app customers as they transition to Privacy Bee.
We are proud of how far Privacy Bee has come. More importantly, we are excited about what this acquisition allows us to do next.
Why Privacy Bee Acquired EraseMe.App
Privacy Bee and EraseMe.app share a clear goal: help people reduce the exposure of their personal information online.
The problem is that personal information rarely stays removed.
Data Broker and People Search Sites continually rebuild their records using public filings, marketing databases, purchased lists, and other sources. Names, addresses, phone numbers, employment histories, and family connections can appear on sites most people have never visited or authorized.
A profile removed in January can be back by March. It can also be copied and published by another site.
Removing personal information once is only the beginning. Keeping it removed requires ongoing monitoring and repeated action.
By acquiring EraseMe.app, Privacy Bee can connect more people with an approach that includes:
Broader coverage across Data Broker and People Search Sites
Monitoring for new and resurfaced personal information
Removal requests submitted on the customer’s behalf
Continued action when previously removed listings return
Support throughout the personal data removal process
This acquisition gives EraseMe.app customers a clear path forward while helping Privacy Bee protect more people.
Building on Privacy Bee’s Historic Five-Star Rating
The acquisition follows a major milestone for Privacy Bee.
In August 2026, PCMag awarded Privacy Bee a perfect 5-out-of-5 rating and Editors’ Choice recognition. Privacy Bee became the first and only personal data removal service to receive a perfect rating from PCMag.
PCMag also recognized Privacy Bee for providing the most extensive Data Broker coverage among the services it evaluated.
That recognition reflects the approach Privacy Bee has taken from the beginning. We find exposed personal information, work to remove it, document the results, and keep watching for its return.
EraseMe.app customers will now have a path to the highest-rated personal data removal service PCMag has reviewed.
“Privacy is personal, so continuity and clear communication matter,” said Harry Maugans, CEO of Privacy Bee. “We are committed to supporting EraseMe.app customers through this transition and helping more people take control of their personal information online.”
What EraseMe.app Customers Can Expect
Our priorities for EraseMe.app customers are clarity, continuity, and support.
We know an acquisition can raise questions, especially when it involves something as personal as online privacy. Existing EraseMe.app customers will receive direct communication explaining:
What to expect during the transition
Where to go for customer support
Whether any action is required
How their service will move forward
EraseMe.app customers do not need to take any action until that communication arrives. If any account or service steps are required, customers will receive instructions directly.
New visitors to EraseMe.app will be directed to Privacy Bee for ongoing personal data monitoring and removal.
What EraseMe.app Brings to Privacy Bee
Growing our privacy-conscious community is always worth celebrating. But the bigger story is the technology.
Over the past several years, EraseMe.app brought innovative privacy technologies to market. Privacy Bee will now incorporate those technologies into our platform, helping us improve how we identify exposed information, manage removals, monitor for returning listings, and protect customers’ digital footprints.
This will benefit the customers joining us from EraseMe.app and the millions of people who already trust Privacy Bee to protect their personal information.
Current Privacy Bee subscribers do not need to take any action. Their service and support will continue as usual while we begin putting this technology to work across the Privacy Bee platform.
What Comes Next
Our first priority is making the transition clear and straightforward for EraseMe.app customers.
We will also begin incorporating EraseMe.App technology into Privacy Bee so it can strengthen the service for new and existing customers.
Privacy Bee is growing, and so is our ability to help people take control of their personal information. This acquisition expands the community we protect and adds technology that can improve the work we already do.
We are excited to welcome EraseMe.app customers to Privacy Bee and to put this technology to work for everyone who depends on us.
