FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

This depends on the platforms you use and the data you enter there. 

Because you have no control over the data security of these platforms, almost all the information that exists about you can end up on the internet and be accessible to third parties, including:

  • Personal information (name, address, contact details, email address, social security number, etc.)
  • Bank, credit card, and tax data
  • Logins and passwords (e.g., for email accounts, social media, or online banking)
  • Health data (medical records, medical records, and insurance information)
  • Workplace data (employment contracts, employee data, and payrolls)

Sensitive information does not necessarily have to be leaked onto the internet through security breaches. Often, data theft, hacker attacks, or phishing are behind it. 

To protect yourself, you should always use strong passwords, regularly update your software, and never open e-mails or text messages from unknown senders or click on links in them.

You can indeed find and remove some of your data on your own. However, this does not guarantee complete security on the internet. 

Without structured research, paid access to databases, and the right software, it is almost impossible to find all your traces on the net, let alone render them harmless.

We recommend that you do not directly delete all the information you find. It is better to record everything you want to remove from the network. 

You can use a Word document or an Excel spreadsheet for this purpose. This makes it easier to see which entries you have already researched yourself and where we still need to do some research.

Many providers promise transparent and complete results. But we recommend against using any software to search for personal data online because they often have false claims, and there is no easy way to find your digital footprint. 

Instead, we recommend consulting an expert in internet searches, such as corma, for your security and peace of mind.

A data leak is the unauthorized release or loss of sensitive information. This includes usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, or other information essential for privacy protection. These data leaks affect companies, organizations, and individuals. 

As a result, large amounts of data are stored in so-called leak databases — a type of online database containing billions of records. The data can come from various sources, such as leaks, hacker attacks, public databases, and illegal social engineering attacks. The databases are often hidden behind a paywall and used for other purposes besides investigations. 

However, these databases differ from helpful offers such as the Pwned database, Leak Checker, and Identity Leak Checker, which also establish relationships between passwords and users. These collections now contain more than 40 billion data records.

When you navigate social networks or use online payment service providers, you inevitably have to provide personal information. 

But no one can guarantee comprehensive data protection on the internet. After all, history shows that providers do not always handle your data with confidence, such as in the Facebook data leaks and Klarna data leaks in 2021.

If you want to protect your data on the internet, you have to:

  • Change your surfing behavior by not visiting dubious websites under any circumstances.
  • Always use a VPN server if possible.
  • Scan your devices for malware regularly.
  • Use strong passwords.
  • Set up two-factor authentication.
  • Encrypt sensitive data.

Adverse media refers to negative reporting in which unflattering (often private) information about a person or company is published. This can come from traditional media and social media platforms. 

The investigation of adverse media is an essential security measure, as it plays a vital role in the risk assessment of our clients. 

corma uses surveillance and monitoring technologies to search for negative news about companies and individuals. They automatically scan the news in real time by recognizing specific keywords that determine whether an article is relevant. If specific keywords are detected, the relevant news items are listed and made available for further checks.

By using adverse media monitoring techniques, companies and individuals can protect their reputation and avoid potential risks.

corma prepares a comprehensive report detailing the results of your digital footprint research. It contains a list of all hits and a clear risk assessment. We also evaluate which hits are critical for you or the person concerned and make actionable recommendations. 

You are also given the option to have your data professionally deleted from the internet upon request. Another option is to remove your data from the surface web and implement digital protection measures, such as creating and coordinating deletion requests.
