# Datapods Shield

> Discover where your data is at risk and reduce your online exposure.

## Here's what's at stake

Your data is more vulnerable than you think. Data and advertising companies profit from your personal information every day.

### Targeted Phishing

Criminals buy rich profiles to craft convincing scam messages that name your courier, bill amount, or address.

### Relentless Spam

Data and advertising companies sell your contact data to third parties, flooding you with unsolicited emails, texts, and robocalls.

### Higher Premiums

Insurers and lenders use third-party 'alternative data' from data and advertising companies to nudge your quotes up or quietly refuse credit.

### Political Micro-Targeting

Campaigns purchase lists from data and advertising companies to serve election ads tailored to your exact fears and interests.

## How it works

1. Check if your Data is at Risk
