Data Breach Alerts for Your Email
Create a free account, confirm your inbox once, and we re-check your account email every day. You only hear from us when a new publicly known breach includes your email.
A check tells you today, breaches keep happening
A breach check shows the breaches that are publicly known right now. New ones are disclosed all the time, often long after the data first leaked.
Run a check today and you see where your email sits today. Tomorrow a company you signed up to years ago might disclose a breach, and the old result would not show it.
Checking by hand every week is easy to forget. Breach Watch does that watching for you, so a new breach involving your account email does not slip past while you are looking the other way.
It does not promise you will never be affected. It makes sure that when a new publicly known breach names your email, you find out instead of missing it.
What your free data breach alerts include
Breach Watch is built to be quiet and honest: one confirmed inbox, a daily re-check, and an email only when something new turns up.
Free, with no paid plan
Breach Watch runs inside a free Data Exposed account. There is no paid plan of ours, no trial to cancel and nothing to buy later.
Only new breaches reach you
We email you only when a new publicly known breach includes your account email. Breaches already linked to your email do not trigger another message, so your inbox stays quiet.
Your inbox is confirmed first
Nothing starts until you click the link we send and prove the inbox is yours. The link works for 48 hours, so nobody can set up alerts for an email they do not own.
A daily re-check
Once a day we compare your confirmed account email against publicly known breaches, so a newly disclosed breach reaches you within a day rather than whenever you remember to look.
One account email, watched for you
It watches the email you sign in with. To look up any other address, use the free breach check, which needs no account.
From sign-up to your first alert, step by step
Five minutes to set up, then the daily re-check does the watching.
Create your free account
Sign up with your email. There is no paid plan and nothing to cancel, so the only decision is which email you want watched.
Confirm you own the inbox
Click the link we send to your email. It works for 48 hours and proves the inbox is yours before any watch begins.
We re-check daily
Once a day we compare your confirmed account email against publicly known breaches. You do not need to do anything to keep it running.
You hear from us only about new
When a new breach includes your email, we send one email naming the breach and what it exposed. Breaches already linked to your email do not prompt another message.

Alert and account questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does Breach Watch cost anything?
- No. There is no paid plan of ours and no trial to cancel. Any outbound affiliate links elsewhere on the site are disclosed next to the link.
- Which email address does it watch?
- Only your account email, the one you sign in with and confirm. To look up any other address, use the free breach check, which needs no account and shows the result straight away.
- Why do I have to confirm my inbox?
- The confirmation link proves the inbox is yours before any watch begins, so nobody can set up alerts for an email they do not own. The link works for 48 hours. If it lapses, you can request a new one.
- How often do you check?
- Once a day. We re-check your confirmed account email against publicly known breaches on a daily basis, so a newly disclosed breach reaches you within about a day.
- Will I get emails about breaches I already know about?
- No. We email you only when a new breach includes your account email. Breaches already linked to your email do not trigger another message, so the alerts stay meaningful rather than constant.
- Does Breach Watch scan the dark web?
- No. It watches publicly known breaches only. We do not search, buy or hold stolen data, and we do not scan the dark web.
- Is this identity protection?
- No. Breach Watch is an alert about publicly known breaches, not monitoring of your identity, bank or credit. It cannot tell you that you are safe or protected, and it cannot remove data from a breach.
- Can I stop the alerts or delete my account?
- Yes. You can download everything we hold about you, or delete your account and its data, at any time. Deleting the account ends the daily re-check.
