Monitor allows you to add and update your information like your address, phone number, email and more to accurately find any exposures. Learn how here.

Monitor tracks potential data exposures by scanning for key details like your full name, address, or date of birth. If your information changes or you missed adding important details, you can easily update your account to ensure more accurate results. Updating your details allows Monitor to track data breaches and the data broker sites selling your information more effectively. =How to add or update your information= #Go to the Mozilla Monitor website at monitor.mozilla.org. #Make sure that you're signed into your [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/access-mozilla-services-firefox-account Mozilla account]. #On the left-hand side, select the '''Edit your info''' option and click the {button Edit info} button. #Under Monitor settings, select '''Details about you''', click the {button Add details} button. #;[[Image:Add details button|width=600]] #All your current information will display allowing you to change or add any information that you need. #;{note}'''Note:''' Due to legal reasons, you can’t update your birth date on your own, however, you can update or add information like your name, address, phone number, and more.{/note} #;[[Image:Edit information|width=600]] #Once you’ve added or edited your information, click the {button Save} button to apply changes to your future scans. <!-- Do not change the heading below since this could break the anchor link used within the Monitor page. I repeat: DO NOT EDIT THE HEADING BELOW. --> ==Why can I not edit my birth date?== Your birth date helps prevent identity fraud and unauthorized data manipulation since it could compromise the integrity of the data removal process. This restriction is in place for several important reasons: *'''Verification and identification:''' Data brokers rely on birthdates as a key identifier to distinguish individuals with similar names. Changing this information could make it difficult to locate and remove exposures accurately. *'''Data source limitations:''' Monitor’s scan retrieves information from public records, consumer databases, and other sources where birthdates are typically stored as fixed identifiers. Since these records originate from official sources, they cannot be altered through the scan itself. Fraud prevention measures: Restricting changes to birth dates helps prevent identity fraud and unauthorized data manipulation. ==How to correct an incorrect birth date?== If your birthdate is incorrect you will need to contact our support team to correct it. This is a one-time correction and you will need to be sure the date provided is accurate. =Related articles= *[[Manage your Monitor Notifications]] *[[How do I monitor multiple email addresses?]] *[[Monthly Monitor Report Email]]
