Using Cloaked Automations

Updated this week

Cloaked Automations help you take action on your privacy and security across the internet — all from one place.

When you sign up for Cloaked, we immediately begin scanning hundreds of data broker sites to identify where your personal information may be exposed. That process starts right away and can take several days to fully complete.

Cloaked’s Data Removal service focuses on submitting removal requests to those public data brokers.

Automations extend that protection by helping you take additional actions that fall outside traditional broker removals.


What Are Automations?

Automations allow Cloaked to complete privacy and security actions on your behalf, without requiring you to manually navigate multiple websites or account settings.

With Automations, you can:

  • Remove your information from brokers that require additional steps

  • Opt out of marketing and advertising databases

  • Register your phone number with national privacy registries

  • Remove yourself from data aggregators and targeting systems

  • Strengthen your online accounts by updating passwords

These actions address other common ways personal information spreads or is used online, helping you reduce exposure more broadly.

All Automations are organized into simple Automation Packs that you can run in just a few taps.


How Automations Work

When you start an Automation:

  • An automated browser opens on your device

  • Cloaked completes and submits the required forms using your profile information

  • If a step requires your input, the automation will pause and prompt you

You may be asked to:

  • Solve a CAPTCHA

  • Enter additional details

  • Complete a verification step (such as a code or email link)

Once completed, the automation continues and finishes the process.

Automations use the information stored in your Cloaked profile, such as your name, address, email, and phone number, to complete requests accurately.

New Automations are added over time as additional privacy protections become available.


How Automations Differ From Data Removal

Cloaked’s Data Removal service continuously scans hundreds of data broker sites and submits removal requests where your personal information appears.

Automations focus on additional privacy actions that fall outside traditional broker removal, including:

  • Opting out of marketing and advertising databases

  • Registering with national privacy protections such as the FTC Do Not Call registry

  • Removing profiles from corporate data aggregators

  • Updating passwords and account security settings

Together, Data Removal and Automations provide broader protection across the different ways personal information spreads online.


Automation Packs

Automations are organized into Packs, which group related privacy protections together.

Each Pack targets a specific category of privacy risk so you can secure different parts of your digital life more efficiently.


Essentials Pack

The Essentials Pack focuses on some of the most common and urgent sources of personal data exposure.

These Automations submit opt-out or removal requests to major privacy registries and high-risk data brokers.

How to Run Automations

Running a Pack

  1. Open the Automations tab

  2. Browse available Packs in the carousel

  3. Tap Run All on the Pack you want to start

  4. Review the personal information Cloaked will use (name, address, email, phone)

  5. Tap Start Automations

Cloaked will open an automated browser and begin completing each Automation in the Pack.

A live status screen shows the progress of each task:

  • Complete

  • Running

  • Waiting

When all Automations in the Pack finish, the Pack disappears from the carousel and completed items are saved to your History.


How Long Automations Take

Most Automations complete within a few minutes.

However, some requests depend on external services and may take additional time to fully process after submission.

For example, data broker removals or marketing opt-outs may take several days before the provider fully removes your information.


Your Automation History

Every completed Automation is saved to your History section.

From here you can:

  • Review what was submitted

  • Confirm completed requests

  • Track previously executed Automations

For data broker Automations, Cloaked may continue checking periodically to ensure your removal request is honored and your data does not reappear.


Can I Re-Run an Automation?

Some Automations can be run again if needed.

Data broker removals

Yes. Data brokers may re-list individuals over time, so re-running these Automations can help keep your information removed.

One-time registrations

No. Registrations such as the FTC Do Not Call registry only need to be completed once.

Password resets

Yes. Security Automations can be run again whenever you want to update your credentials.


Troubleshooting

An Automation Failed During a Run

If an Automation fails, you will see options to:

  • Retry

  • Skip and Continue

Completed Automations are still saved to your History even if the rest of the Pack did not finish.

You can return later and run any remaining Automations.


The App Was Closed While an Automation Was Running

Automations may stop if the Cloaked app is closed or backgrounded while running.

If this happens, you will see a notification when you return to the app and can retry the Automation.


I’m Not Sure What Information Was Submitted

Automations use the profile details stored in your Cloaked account, including:

  • Name

  • Address

  • Email

  • Phone number

You can review exactly what was submitted by opening the Automation in your History.


A Profile Detail Used in an Automation Looks Incorrect

If the information used during an Automation is incorrect, open the Automation detail screen and select:

“Are these profile details incorrect?”

This will allow you to contact Cloaked Support and correct the information.
