digital bodyguard
It’s the system we run with our one-on-one clients, rebuilt so you can run it yourself. You keep posting the whole time.
A comment names your gym. A DM mentions your street like it's small talk. You read the message twice, close the app, and then you spend the rest of the day deciding whether it's a thing. And you tell nobody, because saying it out loud makes it real.
Audio-only instead of video. The location you don't tag. The opinion you don't post. The collab you turn down because it means being somewhere at a set time.
Nobody sends you an invoice for the quiet tax.
It comes out of your reach...and your reach = your revenue.
Three things are true about how creators actually get found, and every off-the-shelf answer misses at least one of them.
Delete the accounts, use a fake name, go private. Sure...but the algorithm buries you by Friday, and there goes your livelihood.
They don’t touch public records (or other public exposures) and they never look at what your own posts give away.
The DM that knew too much. The gift that turned up at an address nobody published. You know this story, and you know how it escalates.
Doing nothing is a plan too. It works right up until the day it doesn't. And then you're Googling two-factor authentication at 2am, doing all of this at once, with no idea whether you found everything (or if you're doing it right)...
Getting off the people search sites is step one, and it's part of the work... we walk you through the pros and cons of paying a service versus doing it yourself, and help you pick. Then comes everything removal can't touch: public records, platform settings, your own on-camera habits, the exposure that grows back.
Shadow is a personalized privacy system for creators and public-facing professionals. It starts with who you are, where you live, and what you publish, then walks you through the plan it builds for you, about fifteen minutes at a time.
This is the same system we run with our one-on-one clients — the same threat assessment, the same investigation method, the same order of operations — built from real casework and rebuilt so you can run it yourself.
The point isn't to hand the work to somebody else. It's to make you the person who knows how you get found: what to look at, what it means, and what to do about it. Whatever else changes, you keep the skill.
A streamer in a rented apartment and a consultant who owns her house have almost nothing in common on this.
Your plan is ordered by your worst exposure, not by whatever's easiest to write a guide about.
It's built around action, habits and skills. It isn't a course.
We explain the root cause of an exposure, walk you through the fix, and the tools run the check with you, so the instinct stays after the task is done.
Privacy isn't a project you finish, it's always moving. The landscape changes, your platform changes and the tactics and tools need to change too.
Platforms rewrite their settings, counties change their forms, new search sites appear. Your guides get rewritten as it happens, and new playbooks and tools ship all year.
New exposures pop up and old problems resurface. Shadow tells you when something needs checking again, and walks you through the re-check.
A move, a kid, a new platform, a launch. Each one reshuffles what matters, and your plan reorders itself to match.
here’s what’s different:
A search connects your handle to a listing, a property record, and a front door.
Footage sits unposted because you’re not sure what’s in the frame, or what's really at risk if you post it.
One odd message eats a week of your attention, and you sit with it alone.
People search sites route straight through your mom, and your editor holds your passwords.
Three steps to get set up, then a system that keeps working and responding to your situation. Everything inside is personalized to you, your platforms and your content.
The Creator Risk Profile and Creator Threat Profile: where you show up, what you make, who you are... and who is most likely to come looking, what they could damage if they did.
Your exposures, prioritized to your situation, with the exact playbooks and guides for your platforms and your location attached to each one.
Each activity explains how the exposure works, gives you the tradeoffs so you can make the right decision for you, then walks you through closing it. You finish with the thing fixed, not a reading list. The plan reorders itself when your life changes.
The assessment your whole plan is built from, updated whenever your situation changes.
Stalker-Free Selfies · How a Stranger Finds Your Front Door · The Decoy Address · Whack-A-Broker · When You Start Doing Video · When Something Feels Off · When a Fan Gets Too Close · Protect Your Kids, Your Family, Your Team.
Search yourself the way a stranger would (people search listings, county records, voter files, old usernames, photo details, archived pages) and get back a cleanup list ranked worst first, each item with its removal step attached.
The setting YouTube buried five menus deep. The form your county actually accepts. Written per platform and per location, kept current.
New sources to check, rewritten guides, new playbooks and tools. Everything we add while you’re subscribed is included.
Fair question. You’re about to tell us how findable you are, so here’s who’s asking.
In security, investigations, and real-world threat work.
Creators ourselves... we know both sides of the camera.
Built and tested on people who post for a living.
Findings delivered and stored encrypted. Always.
Hi, I'm Susan. I spent years in security and antiterrorism for the US Air Force, designing threat assessment systems and learning how bad actors think, plan, and find their targets. I have a master's in Criminal Justice, and I know exactly how digital exposure becomes physical risk.
I'm also a creator: a decade building businesses, hosting the Calm is the New KPI podcast, showing up online. I know what it's like to post something and wonder if it gave away too much. We've helped people rebuild after being doxxed, stalked, harassed.
We know what it costs to disappear from the internet, and what it costs to stay.
We want you prepared, not scared.
Our own servers in Switzerland, no US big-tech platforms in the stack, and a vendor list short enough that we can name every company on it and what it sees.
Your answers, findings, location and support threads are encrypted at rest. Break into our database and you get ciphertext, not a list of where creators live.
Export everything we hold about you, or delete it, whenever you decide. And when we can’t fix something, we say so directly and help you pick the best mitigation instead.
An investigation with our team starts at $2,500. Ongoing retainer work starts at $5,000 a month. Same method, same people. Shadow is that work rebuilt so you can run it, at a price a creator can actually carry.
- ✓ You film, stream, or take deliveries where you sleep.
- ✓ Your visibility is about to jump — a launch, a tour, more video, a move.
- ✓ You already paid a removal service and your address still comes up.
- ✓ Other people are in your frame: kids, a partner, an editor holding your passwords.
- ✓ You’d rather understand how you get found than outsource it forever.
- × Someone is threatening you right now. Local police and a victim-advocacy organization come first.
- × You want to disappear completely. Going dark is a different project.
- × You want alerts instead of answers. Nothing here monitors your accounts, on purpose.
- × You want zero homework. Even VIP has homework — if you’d rather hand the whole thing off, that’s our 1:1 investigation and services work.
- × You need a guarantee. Nobody can promise you’ll be safe, so we won’t.
We're inviting people from the list one at a time, in small groups, so the first creators in get real attention and their feedback shapes what ships next. Put your name down and you'll hear from us before anyone else.
Join the early access listWe're not putting a date on it. We're inviting people off the list one at a time instead of opening the doors all at once, so the people who are in get real attention. Join the list and you'll hear from us first.
About fifteen minutes at a time - we try to make the work bite-sized. Your plan orders the work worst first, so the most important fixes happen earliest. You set the pace.
Updates and re-checks. New sources to search, rewritten platform and location guides, new playbooks, new tools. Exposure grows back, so Shadow also tells you when something needs checking again and walks you through it. Everything we add while you’re subscribed is included.
Nothing. It's an email address. You'll get your invite with the tiers and the price, and you decide then. No payment now, no obligation later.
No. Start with the Creator Risk Profile, then go where it points. Everything is open from day one, so the plan is our best recommendation for your situation, not a lock.
Because the first creators in are also our beta testers. Small groups mean we can watch where the system trips people up, sit with those people, and fix it before the next group comes in.
Some of it. Playbooks and platform guides travel well. Location guides and legal specifics are US-focused today, with UK and Canada planned next.
Yes, encrypted at rest, on servers we control in Switzerland. Export everything we hold about you, or delete it, whenever you decide.
