# Hushfolk (AI context)

> Hushfolk is a UK/EU-first, scan-first personal exposure protection product.

## Product summary

## Primary conversion path

- Review evidence first.
- Upgrade only if evidence is worth action.

## What Hushfolk does
- Maps connected exposure signals from a single email input.

- Supports team-reviewed broker takedown workflows after evidence is confirmed.
- Keeps monitoring and an evidence trail so users can track progress and returning records.

## Who it is for
