Avira Identity Assistant is a service in your My Avira account that regularly scans the internet using a continuous algorithm to detect if your personal data has been exposed on the dark web.
Avira Identity Assistant uses advanced surveillance technology to regularly search websites and marketplaces as well as monitor private forums, social networks, and the dark web where information is traded and sold, looking for your personal information.
If your information is found, you'll be notified immediately by email so that you can take appropriate action. If your information has been exposed, this does not necessarily mean that it has been used to hack into an account or to commit identity theft.
