BetaNews giveaway: One year of premium Safe Shepherd 'Privacy-as-a-Service'

Venture-backed startup Safe Shepherd is a service we can really get behind. Users sign up and enter their personal information (personal names or aliases, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, etc.) into a profile, and Safe Shepherd locates that information on data broker websites and then erases it.

It helps protect your information against sites like BeenVerified.com, Radaris, Spokeo, and RapLeaf, which scrape whatever data they can find and sell it to marketers, or even worse, to potential identity thieves.

With a free Safe Shepherd account, you can scan for loose personal information records and erase them, and you can receive alerts whenever the information turns up again. As a premium member to the service ($14 per month or $65 a year), Safe Shepherd keeps monitoring for your data even when you're not logged into the site, and works a bit harder to scrub out the difficult records. As long as you're a member of Safe Shepherd, it keeps looking out for your information and alerts you whenever it turns up on one of these sites.

Today, we're giving away 30 one-year premium memberships to Safe Shepherd. The first 30 people to add me on Twitter (@timconneally) will get a direct message with the code to claim their free membership.

(UPDATE: The 30 free memberships have been given away, but we've also got 100 codes for a permanent 40% off of your premium Safe Shepherd membership, so you can get 146 free days every year. The same rules apply, follow me on Twitter and I'll send you the code for the discount. Thanks!)
