About BreachGuard

BreachGuard is a free email security checking service that helps you discover if your email address has been compromised in any known data breaches.

What We Do

We scan your email address against a database of over 12 billion compromised accounts from 600+ known data breaches. When you check your email with us, we:

• Search through billions of breached records instantly
• Send you a detailed report of any breaches found
• Provide specific recommendations to secure your accounts
• Suggest proven security tools to prevent future breaches

How It Works

BreachGuard uses the Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) API, created by security researcher Troy Hunt. HIBP is the industry standard for breach checking and is trusted by millions of users worldwide, including major organizations and security professionals.

When you submit your email:

1. We check it against the HIBP database
2. We compile a detailed report of any breaches
3. We send you the results via email within minutes
4. We provide actionable steps to protect yourself

Why We're Free

We believe everyone deserves to know if their data has been compromised. That's why our core service is completely free.

To keep BreachGuard running, we may recommend security tools and services (like password managers) through affiliate partnerships. If you choose to use these recommendations, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Our Commitment

We are committed to:

• Privacy: We never share or sell your email address
• Transparency: We clearly disclose our affiliate relationships
• Security: We follow best practices to protect your data
• Accuracy: We use trusted, verified breach data sources

Who We Are

BreachGuard is an independent service dedicated to helping people stay secure online. We're not affiliated with Have I Been Pwned, but we use their trusted API to provide our service.
