FAQ
Straight answers before you share information or pay.
What Avernic provides, how the products differ, how information is handled, and where the service stops.
Start here
What does Avernic do?
Avernic turns structured information you provide about your privacy tools, services, settings, and habits into findings based on your answers, practical priorities, and written next steps.
Is the Privacy Checkup really free?
Yes. The current Privacy Checkup costs $0, provides an immediate written web result, and does not require a payment method, account creation, passwords, or account access.
Does Avernic connect to my accounts or scan my devices?
No. Avernic works from the information you choose to provide. It does not request passwords, connect to accounts, scan devices, or monitor activity.
Will Avernic always recommend buying another tool?
No. Avernic may recommend keeping what you have, using a built-in or free option, changing a setting, verifying a feature, removing overlap, or buying nothing.
Paid reports
What is the Privacy Baseline?
The planned $9.99 one-time Privacy Baseline is a private printable starter report for eligible Checkup results. Public checkout remains disabled until the canonical availability gates are open.
What is the Complete Privacy Assessment?
It is a planned human-reviewed written report covering what to keep, change, cancel, verify, or add, plus overlap, spending context, bounded realistic-risk scenarios, and an ordered implementation sequence.
What is the Complete founding price?
The founding price is $49.99 one time, with a planned standard price of $99.99. Requesting founding access does not collect payment or guarantee an invitation.
Are paid reports subscriptions?
No. Prices shown are one-time prices. Avernic does not promise a customer dashboard, continuous monitoring, automatic renewal, or ongoing advisory support.
Identity Exposure Assessment
How is Identity Exposure different from the Complete Assessment?
The Complete Assessment uses information you provide to organize your tools and protections. The $999 Identity Exposure Assessment adds consent-based, analyst-led outside-in research and includes a personalized threat model plus the relevant Complete Assessment planning components.
Do I need to purchase both assessments?
No. The Identity Exposure Assessment includes the relevant Complete Assessment planning components, so a customer does not need to purchase both.
Can I request an Identity Exposure Assessment for someone else?
No. An adult may request and consent to an assessment only for themselves. The service is not available to investigate or screen another person.
Does Identity Exposure access private accounts or guarantee complete discovery?
No. It uses approved public and lawfully accessible sources within the agreed scope. It does not bypass access controls, enter private accounts, or guarantee that every possible item will be found.
Data and privacy
What information does the Checkup need?
It asks structured questions about tools, settings, habits, and broad context. Do not provide passwords, recovery codes, government IDs, payment-card details, or other authentication secrets.
Is optional marketing consent required?
No. Service-request and transactional communication are separate from optional marketing consent.
How can I request a correction or deletion?
Use the Contact page and choose the correction or data-request category. Avernic may need to verify identity before acting, but you should not send identity documents unless a specific secure method is provided.
Does Avernic sell Checkup answers?
No. Recommendation eligibility, priority, and ordering are not driven by affiliate compensation or commercial opportunity.
Service limitations
Is Avernic professional legal, financial, or cybersecurity advice?
No. Avernic provides educational planning and decision support and does not replace qualified legal, financial, cybersecurity, medical, emergency, law-enforcement, or victim-support professionals.
Does Avernic provide monitoring, removal, or incident response?
No. It does not continuously monitor accounts, perform data removal for you, remediate identity theft, or provide emergency or incident-response services.
Can Avernic help with an active threat or immediate danger?
Avernic is not designed for active stalking, domestic abuse, extortion, ongoing fraud, active account compromise, immediate physical danger, or incident response. Use appropriate emergency, legal, law-enforcement, financial, victim-support, or qualified cybersecurity resources.
Are product facts guaranteed to stay current?
No. Product features, prices, and policies change. Avernic records when evidence was reviewed and identifies items to verify before you cancel or materially change coverage.
Still have a question?
Ask without sending passwords, identity documents, account details, or an incident narrative.
