Breach Monitoring
Troy Hunt (Have I Been Pwned)
- Available on Guardian, Guardian Pro, and Grandparent Shield plans only

Threat Intelligence Feed Providers
Important:
Threat intelligence feeds do not receive any personal data from Manaia. Data flows are unidirectional: Manaia fetches threat indicators from feed providers; no user data is sent to feed providers.
