What is Control+?

In today's digital world, threats like data leaks, scams, and phishing attempts are becoming more sophisticated every day. Most people don't realize how exposed their personal information can be — or how easily scammers can target their entire family. Control+ was created to change that. We believe that everyone deserves to feel safe and confident online, without needing to be a cybersecurity expert.


Our Mission: Real Protection for Real People

At Control+, our mission is simple: to protect you and your family from online scams, identity theft, and digital fraud. We're committed to making powerful security tools accessible, easy to use, and effective for everyday life. Whether you're trying to keep your children safe from phishing texts, prevent identity theft, or simply cut down on spam, Control+ is built to give you peace of mind.


How Control+ Keeps You Safe

A Smart App That Works in the Background

Control+ is an app for iOS and Android devices that provides continuous, real-time protection directly on your phone. Once installed, it works quietly in the background — monitoring for identity leaks, filtering suspicious messages, and blocking harmful calls. You don't have to remember to run scans or perform checks; Control+ constantly keeps watch so you stay protected without extra effort.


🛡️ Identity Protection

Every day, millions of personal details are leaked online — often without people realizing it. Control+ monitors the dark web for any exposures linked to your email or phone number. If a leak is detected, we immediately tell you what information was exposed, such as your name, address, or passwords. With these insights, you can take action before anyone misuses your data. It's a powerful first line of defense against identity theft.

✉️ SMS Protection (iOS only)

Phishing texts have become one of the most common ways scammers trick people into giving up private information. Control+ automatically filters suspicious or fraudulent messages on iOS devices. Dangerous texts are moved straight to your junk folder, so you and your family stay safer without lifting a finger. No more worrying about fake package notifications, bank alerts, or scam links appearing in your inbox.

📞 Call Protection

Unwanted calls aren't just annoying — they're often attempts to scam vulnerable individuals, including kids and older family members. With Control+, spam callers are blocked before they can even reach you. You can view and manage blocked numbers, whitelist trusted contacts, or permanently block threats. Available on both iOS and Android.

🗑️ Data Removal

Your personal information is collected and sold by hundreds of data brokers — often without your knowledge. Control+ automatically submits removal requests on your behalf across hundreds of sites, then monitors them to make sure your data stays off. You can track the status of each removal directly in the app, including which brokers have completed removal and which are still in progress.


Security for the Whole Family

Online threats don't stop with one person — scammers target households. That's why Control+ is designed for families, not just individuals. You can protect up to 4 family members, helping parents keep children safe from fake messages, protecting seniors from deceptive phone calls, and ensuring that everyone's digital identity remains secure.


Why Control+ Matters

Digital safety shouldn't be complicated. Control+ brings powerful, proactive protection to your everyday life, combining identity monitoring, scam filtering, data removal, and communication security into one seamless experience. Our goal is to empower you and your loved ones to use technology confidently and safely.

Whether you want to stop scam calls, catch identity leaks early, remove your data from broker sites, or guard your family from phishing attempts — Control+ is here to protect what matters most.
