Mozilla Monitor Plus is a service that allows you to periodically monitor and delete your personal information through Mozilla services.

Mozilla Monitor subscribers can receive notifications when their personal information is involved in a data breach, but now they can also have their personal information scanned to see which sites are selling it for commercial purposes. A feature has been added that allows you to

The scan itself can be used once for free. If you want to go further and perform ``periodic scans'' and ``automatic deletion of information,'' you can use Mozilla Monitor, a paid subscription that costs $8.99 per month (approximately 1,300 yen) and $107.88 per year (approximately 16,000 yen). You must subscribe to ``Plus''.



To use scanning, you need to tell Mozilla your name, address, date of birth, email address, etc. This information will be encrypted and treated as the ``minimum information necessary to obtain the most accurate search results'' in accordance with

Mozilla's privacy policy , which ``always puts people first.''



Mozilla says, ``Personal information sold by data brokers may include information such as names, addresses, and phone numbers, and may also include information such as family names, criminal records, children's school districts, and hobbies.'' 'Yes,' he said, emphasizing the strength of Mozilla Monitor Plus, which has the potential to remove such information. In addition, Mozilla Monitor Plus seems to target more than 190 data broker sites, which is twice as many as other competing services.

According to a consumer privacy survey by Cisco, the world's largest computer network equipment developer, 42% of 18-24 year olds want to know more about what information companies store about them. It seems that there is. However, the procedure for requesting deletion of personal information handled by a company is extremely cumbersome. In order to respond to such cases, Mozilla announced 'Mozilla Monitor Plus', which requests deletion of personal information on behalf of the user to protect privacy.

'When we launched Mozilla Monitor, our goal was to help people discover where their personal information may have been compromised,' said Tony Amaral Kinot, product manager at Mozilla Monitor. Now, we're announcing Mozilla Monitor Plus, which will help people get their data back from data broker sites that try to sell their exposed data.''Mozilla's commitment to putting people's needs first is... Years of work and an easy step-by-step process make Mozilla Monitor Plus unique, and it combines breach alerts and data broker removal to provide an all-in-one protection tool to help people stay safe online. 'It makes it easier to feel that way,' he said.

Please note that Mozilla Monitor Plus will initially be available to people based in the United States.
