Work without fear. We’ve got your back.
Brightlines identifies and scrubs personal information from the Internet — keeping your people and your company safe.
90 million Americans get doxxed every year. Let’s make sure none of them are your employees.
Trusted by 25 companies to proactively protect their employees – ask us for references!
The Internet is like the ocean.
We think we know what’s down there… but in reality, it gets soooo much deeper and weirder. Like, have you *seen* an anglerfish?
Sometimes, that vast sea of data feels pretty scary. Most of us have personal identifying information that can be found online (and we’re not just talking about those ancient Foursquare check-ins).
Some of this identifying information is easy to find and erase.
The rest takes training to track down — and when you do find it, it’s harder to scrub.
With Brightlines, you don’t need to sweat the unknown.
Through a deep-dive combination of iterative AI analysis and savvy human effort, we can locate and remove anyone’s personal information from the Internet. Along the way, we give you a clear picture of your situation and guidance on how to protect yourself going forward.
We combine the best available tech tools with the tenacity and conviction that only comes from really, really believing in this work.
Who is Brightlines for?
Every company with employees whose work or online presence puts them at risk.
Every person who wants to protect themselves from digital harassment and escalating threats.
You, probably.
“As an activist, Brightlines helps give me peace of mind to be as visible as I want to be, because I know they have my back to make sure bad actors can’t easily find my personal, private information.”
Brightlines is a vital addition to your cybersecurity program
We prevent online harassment from escalating to physical safety threats like doxxing and swatting. If your cybersecurity program doesn’t include this kind of thorough, proactive, online-to-offline coverage, you might be locking the front door but leaving the back door wide open. (And that’s how jerks get in.)
