Online Account Cleanup: Scans is included in all McAfee+ plans. Online Account Cleanup: Scans helps you find any accounts tied to your email and gives you clear instructions to reclaim your data. What’s the difference between “Scans” and “Full-service”? We’ll then help you decide which accounts you want to keep and which you might want to delete to lower the risk of a data breach. We will only look at the email sender, subject line, timestamp, and the first few words of the email-we will not scan the full body of the email or any attachments. With your approval, we’ll scan the subject lines in your inbox to see which companies are emailing you and how much of your info they might have. How will you see who has my personal data? We help you send these requests, but we do not act as an agent on your behalf. If you prefer to save time and have McAfee send the requests with a single click, the request will be transmitted directly from your email inbox. We’ll show you which companies or websites have access to your personal information and provide steps on how to reach out to them to have it deleted. How can McAfee help me clean up my online accounts? We'll help you delete these accounts for good so you can take back control of your privacy and even cut down on annoying spam emails. The more companies that have your personal info, the higher the chance one of them will get breached, putting you at risk of identity theft. An internet user can have hundreds of online accounts, many of which they might not know are still active.

When you create an online account, your personal data is added to a company's database and can remain there even after you delete the account. Why is closing my online accounts important?
