How do I add or remove sources from my identity monitoring list?

Your monitoring list is a list of details that Guardio uses to search for and alert you about personal data leaks. For example, we can search for your email address, and if we find it in a data breach, we’ll also see other personal information that was leaked such as passwords, addresses, or credit card numbers. The more sources you add to your monitoring list, the more effective Guardio will be at identifying and alerting you about personal data leaks.
